Brian is at the top of his specialty!!! AAAAA+

I hired Brian for post divorce problems with my ex, specifically my ex denying placement and attempting to alienate our daughter. Brian is compassionate, proficient, extremely knowledgeable, well versed, and aggressive. He will stand up for you. I've had numerous well known attorneys during m...y lengthy divorce. None even remotely compared to Brian's ability and results. His courtroom/trial capability and performance are stellar and at the top of his profession. He honestly doesn't miss a beat in court and his tenacity is incredible! I could not be happier. I would highly and strongly recommend Brian in the most complicated and conflicting divorce case. He is the best. His communication skills are excellent. He is on top of all the details. He is worth every penny!!!

GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS

was looking for aggressive attorney who would return e-mails phone calls etc whenever new thing would arise and HE IS NOT THE ANSWER! he returns nothing! Plus we didn't know anything moving forward until the last minute! I was also scolded like a child for coming into his office without a appoi...ntment! We were threated like children . HE DID GET US VAGUE ORDER THOUGH

Best family lawyer ever

I was looking for a family attorney in the phone book. Geez, we all know how horrible that could be. Like finding a mechanic, it's hit or miss, then you pray you got the right one. Sure I was nervous at first with Brian. Young guy, stylish, great first meeting though. I knew right from the start he h...ad heart. THAT is the most important thing to me. If one has heart, they usually put it all into what they do. My case was an odd one. Not common by any means. I am a grandmother, and was fighting for my right to visit my grandbaby. Brian was kind, patient, and omg smart. His extensive legal background made it easy for him to file, call, do whatever we needed done, to be done. He knows the ins and outs of family law, like one knows their own hand. All done in a timely manner, which is unusual for busy courts now a days. He didn't bankrupt me either lol. Which again is unusual in today's mindset of lock everyone up, and squeeze their relatives for money . I cant speak highly enough of Brian. I would hire him again in a heartbeat if I thought I needed to. I would and AM recommending him to the world. He can be trusted, counted on. Many a text and email he took just to reassure an old woman that everything was going to be ok. The personal touch, the kindness, the skill. He was a God send! If you have a family law issue and DON"T hire Brian, you've just thrown your money away. I guarantee it. A better family lawyer you will never find.

Above and beyond

We have worked with three differant attorneys over the years in the area of child custody. Brian is far and away the best. He responded promptly to all of our questions knew what needed to be done and explained it so we could understand what our rights were and why. He also worked closely with the ot...her attorney to let him know our position and the expected outcome. Thank You Brian

Unprofessional Attorney

I hired this attorney and he did not respond in a timely fashion, if at all, to my phone calls or requests for information. He did the minimum required to handle my case and I found out later, from other attorneys in the field, that there was much more he could have done to protect my child's intere...sts--his work was sloppy and disinterested. The worst was perhaps, towards the end of my case, when I overheard him joking in a very offensive, sarcastic, and mean-spirited manner about the child of another client.
