Incredibly Impressive

Brian is a gem in the community. He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He is patient, listens and provided sound advice. I would not hesitate to send any of my family and friends his way. He was there from the beginning of the process and saw things through to the end—with a consistent... sense of comfort and confidence. He was impressive.

Diligent, empathetic and skilled attorney

Brian and his team were incredibly helpful during what could have been an even more contentious and hurtful situation than it already was to begin with. He was patient, took the time to understand the dynamic and what I wanted to accomplish for my family. He tailored a proposal suited to those wishe...s and worked diligently with the other side in a professional manner so the focus stayed on what was best. Bottom line he’s invested in his clients above all else.

Great lawyer

Brian was extremely helpful navigating and negotiating my prenuptial agreement. It’s a difficult subject and he helped keep me focused on the important aspects.

Incredibly Professional

Brian Blitz is an exceptional attorney. He is very professional, knowledgeable and kind. During my divorce I felt he was looking out for my best interests. He maintained an open line of communication throughout my entire process and I felt he was committed to my case. Thank you again for everything!

Competent, Effective, and Does Not Waste Time

I recommend Brian without reservation for a couple different reasons. He understands that a divorce involves people and children and has an instinct for kindness without being a pushover that is a welcome perspective. Brian does not needlessly bill or incur fees - we did not waste time. He was alw...ays on time for meetings, and always had time for that evening phone call to check in. In sum, Brian is uber competent and possessed of a personality that helps people make the right decisions at times when it is difficult to make the right decisions. we finished my divorce through settlement (as he predicted) and i was pleased with the result.
