The answer to Peace of Mind

I hired Brian in 2015 to work through my child custody case. As a single mother and independent woman, he has assisted in being a support and biggest peace of mind. I know Brian to be determined, trustworthy, and fair. He has been very approachable since day, listening to all of my concerns and wis...hes for my child. He guided me through the process and let me have a voice in the matter, rather than told me what to do like previous attorneys I had. He helped me protect and find the best possible outcome for my child. Even when I let feelings get in the way and tried to be over protective, he helped me find a common ground and keep the focus on what worked best for my son. I am still working with Brian, as my case is an ongoing scenario. He definitely made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciate.

The Best Divorce Lawyer!!

Brian Nigohosian started out as my lawyer and became a true friend! He is an excellent advisor, professional, no-nonsense/ straightforward lawyer and intimidating to the apposing counsel because he knows his stuff and is well respected in the community. I trusted him and he delivered on everything ...that I asked for in the settlement. My biggest concern was my son and he pushed to have child custody agreed upon/implemented first before financials to limit the bargaining power my now ex-husband would have. Brian knew my case and the type of man I was divorcing and strategically played my ex-husband and cut him off at every turn. When my divorce was final even by ex-husband had to admit how great of a job Brian did. Thank you Brian for getting me through one of the toughest times in my life. I couldn't have done it without your support and the empowerment you gave me throughout the process. I highly recommend Brian Nigohosian!!

Highly recommended divorce/family attorney

Brian Nigohosian has been my divorce attorney for nearly 8 years. He is definitely a no-nonsense attorney, who has worked tirelessly for me and my children. Brian is straight-forward and tenacious, and he was successful in ensuring that my children and I were protected during my divorce. Sadly, my... ex and I have gone back to court a couple of times throughout the last 8 years, and every time, Brian is successful in achieving what is best for my family, both financially and with my parenting agreement. If you're reading this review, then you know how emotionally exhausting this process can be. Brian never failed to make me feel that he was in control, and he encouraged me to allow him to do what he does best--WIN, and achieve results. I highly recommend Brian, and strongly disagree with the aforementioned reviews that suggest that he favors males or that he thinks less of women. He works for his client, regardless of gender (I have a very close male friend who used Brian to achieve a superb outcome, as well). if you need a great lawyer--you just found one.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer

Brian was an excellent advisor that kept me informed every step of the way through my divorce. He was always professional and very straight forward. Given the nature of my case, he helped me close my case out within 3 months! (Although I've been told that this isn't typical) Brian kept the fees fa...ir and also gave me a fair agreement with my ex-wife while also keeping in mind my rights as a father. I hope I never have to do it again... however, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't think twice about using Brian again.
