Great Lawyer
I contacted Brian about a customer that was trying to go behind my back and work with a factory that does exclusive work for my company. They were threatening legal action if I or the factory (overseas) did not meet their demands. . Brian knew exactly what needed to be done to prevent this happening....
"Brian and I were friends in high school. I have referred clients with federal court issues to him in the last couple years and he handled them masterfully."
