Highly Skilled Real Estate Lawyer and Great Personality
I have hired Brian twice for my real estate closings. He is highly skilled real estate Lawyer. He was very professional in his dealings. He was very easy to talk to and explained all legal proceedings very carefully to me. He has great sense of humor. You find out when you talk to him. He was on time on both appointments for my closings. He was very quick to reply to my questions through email. When I could not reach him over phone and left vm, he was very quick to call back. Overall, it was great experience to work with Brian. I am very happy client. Thank you Brian for your help. I really appreciate it.
Brian helped my sister with a bankruptcy and he made it so easy to understand and walked my sister through it. He even went to her house when they could not get to the office. The best customer service I have ever experienced!! I would recommend him for any financial problems that someone may have, Bankruptcy,Foreclosure, Short Sale, etc.
