Brian Cooper Guequierre

I hired Mr. Guequierre long-distance after receiving his name from the Lawyer Referral Service. I felt confident I had a solid case, but needed legal expertise to move past a stalemate in direct negotiations. After an initial call with Mr. Guequierre, and a few emails to clarify some questions, I fel...t confident that he had the necessary expertise and experience to help, and was trustworthy (of particular concern being out of state). In the initial call, Mr. Guequierre also clearly explained how the case might unfold, and what legal costs would be involved, so I knew what to expect and could assess the cost/benefit. He also indicated that he felt we had a good case, given the issue and the fact that I’d documented everything along the way. Thus, I hired him. He began with an intake process to gather information and documentation for me in a well-organized way. He then engaged the other party's legal counsel, and we eventually reached a settlement that matched what I'd tried to negotiate without legal assistance. Through the process, Mr. Guequierre responded to my inquiries in a timely manner, shared detailed knowledge about relevant areas of the law and legal proceedings, kept me in the loop on all communications with the other party, shared helpful advice to help me make decisions about potential settlement terms, was diligent about following up with the other party to get a response in the agreed upon time, and was easy to communicate with (personable, approachable, etc.). Overall, I found him to be professional and honest. I would recommend him and hire him again if needed.
