Evict subtenant

Brian helped me successfully evict a non-paying subtenant. I met him for the first time in the evening after work, and he prepared everything by working to late night and sent paperwork out the next morning. He did that so efficiently to prevent my ongoing loss of money. He reply emails and messages ...promptly. I felt comfortable and confident to have him working on my case. He thinks everything in advance and is very professional. In addition, the law fee is reasonable. I will definitely ask him again if I have law issues in the future.

Estate Planning

Brian very effectively prepared a comprehensive estate plan for us that met our needs completely. Brian answered all of our questions patiently and in a manner that was understood by both of us. We would not hesitate to use Brian's services in the future, and would recommend Brian to others. Kathl...een was Brian's middle school teacher, and so enjoyed working with him in a professional capacity:).
