Brian was very helpful and kind. I battle anxiety and with everything going on I was even more anxious, but he was calming and considerate. (He even brought me a mask) He helped me with the paper work and he walked me through everything. I highly recommend him.

Unexpected Changes

In June my husband unexpectedly asked for a divorce. Brian was so amazing to help walk me through the of dos and don'ts of the initial separation and divorce process, filling out and filing the divorce paperwork, and was able to answer every question of the situation without hesitation and in a calm ...professional manner. He made the process easier for me and was able to help keep the tensions calm.
