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.

Legal services with a wonderful balance of expertise, professionalism -- and also approachability and humor

As the co-founder of a startup and a first-time mom, I need help with contracts for my business and also estate planning on the personal side of things. I feel grateful to have been introduced to Brian, who approaches law with a wonderful balance of expertise, professionalism -- and also approachabil...ity and humor. I would definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking for an attorney who will provide quality, affordable legal services. Brian proves that working with an attorney does not have to feel corporate or impersonal.

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.
