Great legal advice and consultation for rental agreement

Brian was a tremendous partner and provided us a solid rental agreement. He listened to our needs and drafted a detailed lease statement that protected our interests and provided a fair arrangement for those renting our property. He was readily available, provided prompt responses, and provided clear... explanations and advice. I would highly recommend his services and will plan to use him in the future should the need arise.

Vacant Land Purchase

Brian helped us with a vacant land purchase. He walked us through every step of the process and with his extensive background in real estate was able to bring peace of mind that nothing would be overlooked. He is professional, detail oriented, courteous, and most of all a person of outstanding char...acter.

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.
