Amazing Lawyer, Amazing Person.

Mr. Braun was my lawyer. I hired him for a restraining order against the person who sexually assaulted me brutally. I was just 16. Not only did he get the job done in the best way possible, he made sure I was okay the entire time and didn't let anyone bully me in court. We won. I was relieved and fra...nkly he had saved my life. Getting that guy away from me was the best thing ever. Do not hesitate, hire this guy. He is awesome. Professional, compassionate, and extremely efficient. If I ever need a lawyer again, he will be my lawyer.

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.
