Excellent Attorney...Perfect Representation

I am appalled by such negative comments being made regarding this attorney. Brian is more than just a good attorney… he is a good and honest man. Furthermore, I strongly feel that a person who is a non-client should not be allowed to make such objectionable reviews. After visiting with 4 other ...local attorneys in 2003, I hired Brian to do all of my legal work. I hired him for my divorce in 2003. I hired him to file for my fiancé from Canada in 2007, who is now a United States Citizen, and then we hired him to do all of our Estate Planning as well as the Estate Planning for my Mother before she passed away. His Paralegal is a very meticulous and attentive professional who never treated us like we were any less important than her other 150+ active files in their office. We were very pleased with the services we received. I am extremely disappointed that the people who posted the previous reviews, with their many typographical errors and grammatical mistakes, are the future for our world. You should be ashamed of yourself for making such erroneous claims and not even having the decency to review your writings before posting them. My assumption would be that this person failed to do their work in his class and now want someone to blame.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
