Posted by anonymous | October 17, 2019 | Divorce & Separation

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.

5 star Attorney

From the very start my call was returned surprisingly fast. Brian clearly explained the process on our first meeting and never once did i feel rushed or pressured to hire him. When i contacted him with questions he was extremely prompt with responses. Brian seemed very knowledgeable in my case. I wou...ld highly recommend him as an attorney. I can not say enough about how smoothly my case went due to Brian and his hard work.

Brian was gored to help get through a difficult situation. He not only did everything he said he would but he was also professional and confidential in everything done. He saved me a large amount of money and kept me informed every step of the way.

Brian is a very kind and understanding person. He never made me feel embarrassed or stupid thru this process. I would highly recommend Brian for your bankruptcy needs. He makes it painless. His Para-Legal, Caty, is a wonderful addition to his practice as well.
