Emphatically Recommend Brian Radke

Brian went above and beyond for me in my real estate transaction! It was part of an extremely difficult divorce and Brian ended up spending a significant amount of extra time on our case. He handled the situation with the utmost professionalism and patience, and it was very complicated and uncomfor...table. I can say with certainty that he is the reason the entire transaction was completed successfully. He was extremely knowledgeable about the implications on the sale from the divorce aspect which was key in our house sale process. He communicated clearly and thoroughly and kept me updated every single step of the way. I can't thank Brian enough and I would recommend Brian very highly!

Highly Recommend!

Brian was our real estate lawyer in both the sale and purchase of our new home. He is personable, professional and really knows his stuff! He was extremely thorough and went through everything with us step-by-step and was very patient with all our questions throughout the entire process. He was very ...responsive and provided constant updates so we were never left in the dark. The entire process could not have gone smoother thanks to him. We highly recommend Brian and will definitely work with him again!

Divorce Case

Brian Radke is an excellent divorce attorney. Beside his knowledge on the divorce proceedings, he also advised me on the purchase of a new house prior to the divorce being finalized. Mr. Radke drafted the settlement agreement so I was fully protected with my new purchase. In addition, his responsi...veness to phone calls and e-mails were excellent. I highly recommend Mr. Radke.

Knowledgeable and efficient

I hired Brian to represent me with updating the terms of an out of state Divorce and Parenting agreement. During the entire process he was very prompt and communicative, keeping me updated on the status and court dates. Brian was very knowledgeable talking me through the process explaining the la...w and what the risks and the outcome may be based on my decisions. During the entire process I felt that he was protecting the best interests of me and my child. He was able to work the opposing Attorney to reach a settlement expeditiously and without dragging out the process or the costs. I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Brian.

"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer's contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyer's work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to the attention of AVVO, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."

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.
