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.

Quick help on an issue

Brian was a huge help with an urgent issue that came up on a personal matter. He reviewed legal documents the same day and recommended important changes be made before agreeing to terms. Brian is a professional and very capable attorney that I would recommend to everyone.

Commercial Lease Review

I am moving my office and was given an eight-page, 35-item commercial property lease to sign. Since this is the first time I have had to deal with commercial leases, I asked Brian to review it for me -- on short notice. He did a very thorough review and drafted a lengthy memo with questions, sugges...tions and/or additional or replacement language for 23 of the 35 items. I went over all of his comments with the new landlord, who acknowledged that the contract was dated and expressed appreciation for Brian's work and suggestions. The lease will be redrafted to address the issues that were raised and I expect to sign it shortly. Moving can be, and usually is, a major headache. If, however, you want at least one aspect of it to be worry-free, I highly recommend that you have Brian handle the lease agreement for you. It will be well worth it! I am a very satisfied client!

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.
