The best of the best!

Brian and his associate attorney Margaret went above and beyond! What took another office three years to mess up took them less than a year to fix! Truly outstanding and goes above and beyond for clients. They are knowledgeable and confident. Which puts you at ease. Truly hands down would refer anyon...e and everyone to them. These two are unstoppable and will change your negative out look into a positive. I can not say enough positive things about Brian and Margaret both. They listen and give you a voice which with a lot of attorneys gets lost somewhere in the mix. A mere thank you does not feel like enough for all they both have done.

So awesome

Brian has extensive knowledge of the law, and at least as importantly, of the expectations, tendencies, and preferences of the local judges and attorneys. I feel confident every time I go to court with Brian that even if things don't go my way, I will have the best quality representation. I have obse...rved many attorneys at work while waiting around the family law department, and it's clear which ones are truly skilled and which ones are phoning it in. So many times, I've seen Brian make a statement in court or a decision that turned out, later on in the case, to be not just a good call but a brilliant strategy of forethought. Some people play chess while others are just playing checkers.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

True critical reviews not allowed on Avvo, apparently.

I was dealing with false criminal charges against me and divorce at the same time (by the same person). Brian was to handle my divorce only. He continually complimented my ex-wife for the financial success of the business that I had been managing, which was very annoying, as though I had done nothing... to contribute. Since I'm not allowed to list any specifics without a full evidence list that would be worthy of a courtroom, nor the platform to present such proof, I'll tell you what not to expect. Don't expect to be stood up for. Don't expect the opposition to be held accountable for slander, libel, or violations of court orders against you. Don't expect to accept any more than opposition's minimum offer. Don't expect a follow through on promises. Don't expect not to be judged. Don't expect someone who grasps the dangers of an ex who would go as far as filing false criminal charges against you in order to gain full control. I hope this is general enough to pass the Avvo defense squad. Thanks!

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.
