Supportive, Helpful, and Accessible

Divorce is a challenging experience, but Brian and his team members, Colten Fisher and Jordan Corbett, made the process smooth and efficient. Throughout my case, Brian demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and strong commitment. He took the time to understand my situation and patiently answered a...ll my questions. Brian provided clear, practical advice at every step, prioritizing my best interests while showing compassion. Brian and his staff were consistently available, responsive, and thorough. They ensured I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to their expertise, we successfully reached a mutual resolution. I highly recommend Brian Hurst's services if you need a divorce attorney.

excellent family attorney

Brian represented me and handled all aspects of a difficult and lengthy post divorce custody proceeding. Brian is a tremendous advocate and based on his efforts I gained custody of my children (which is not easy for a father to accomplish). Brian made himself available at all times to discuss issu...es with me and answer my questions.

Excellent attorney - True Professional

Brian Hurst is an excellent attorney and did an outstanding job representing me in my divorce. From early consultation and strategy, financial analysis to negotiation and settlement, Brian was responsive, knowledgable and thorough. His advice and counsel was outstanding, and he clearly explained an...d sought my input throughout the entire process. He was incredibly detailed, knew my case inside and out and didn't defer to a junior attorney. We communicated by email, phone and text and I appreciated his availability. We were a team, and I'm delighted that I hired him. My case took one year to negotiate and settle and 9 months post divorce he has worked with me to finalize multiple QDROs and DROs. I would highly recommend him to any client and I already passed his name to an acquaintance who was looking for a divorce attorney. She hired him.

Brian is the best - hands down

I could not say enough good things about Brian. With his persistence and energy, Brian got me an absolutely great result in my divorce case. He is a hard-nosed negotiator and litigator and will vigorously protect your interests. He is also very personable and able to negotiate effectively with opp...osing counsel to get you the best deal possible outside of court. He has a therapist background and will guide you through the process with care and a soft touch. His office is great to deal with too. You absolutely will not go wrong with Brian.

The Best

They say, behind every good man is a good woman, some men don't realize that and unfortunately divorce happens. That being said, I believe behind every good woman is a great attorney. That is Brian Hurst. Brian never stops fighting for what is right. He is tough, courageous, does not shy away fro...m hard work. He is highly experienced, strategic, knowledgeable, and most importantly accessible. I went through a brutal divorce. Without his help I do not know where I would be right now, or where my children would be... He represents what representation should be. Brian will fight for you, he will stand by you, he will not let you down. I cannot say enough about his abilities and skill. The finest family law attorney by far.
