Great team and fantastic attorney!

If you want a very smart attorney with an amazing team behind him, hire Brian. As a dad, it is an uphill battle with a high conflict ex in getting more time with my son. My ex wanted to take time away from me through a custody motion and so I hired Brian. Brian and his team listened intently to me... and applied my contradictory evidence in my affidavit. Not only was my exes motion denied, ours was granted and I got more time with my Son. I highly recommend Brian to handle custody disputes.

Professional, patient, and truly supportive

Brian helped me with my divorce case a few years ago. He was not only exceptionally professional, but also genuinely caring and patient throughout the entire process. Navigating a legal case is incredibly stressful, but Brian provided steady guidance and support that made a difficult time much more m...anageable. I truly appreciated his professionalism and compassion, and I would highly recommend him.

Excellent Lawyer

Brain was extremely professional. He provided us with excellent advise and explained the process every step of the way. We were extremely happy with the outcome and have him to thank for it!

I Would Give 6 Stars if I Could- Excellent Results with Personalized Service

My experience with Brian throughout my divorce solidified the fact that I will continue to use him whenever I have a need for representation that he can fill. I would also provide his name and contact information to any close friend or family member who needed a solid referral. In my case, I be...lieve the results speak highest of Brian's skill and ability. He negotiated terms that were highly favorable to me. In private meetings, he always presented both sides to me and talked through all of our options and potential corresponding outcomes. However, when it came time to sit at the table with opposing counsel, he was firm, professional, and effective and my biggest advocate. I have engaged Brian since my divorce was final for additional needs and will absolutely continue to do so. If you are in the position of needing legal advice or representation, set yourself up for success by retaining Brian as soon as possible.

Awesome!

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the services provide by Mr. Glodosky and his staff. He was professional, responsive, frank, attentive, and committed to helping me and my family. Mr. Glodosky will be the first person I call should I require any future legal assistance.
