Brian Rolland McGiverin

I hired Mr. McGiverin in August 2025 for a simple contract dispute, a very clear breach of contract by my client. The agreed scope was limited to drafting and sending a demand letter and negotiating a resolution. Despite repeated follow-ups over more than two months, no demand letter was ever drafted... or sent. I received an invoice for work I had not requested or authorized, and after I terminated representation due to lack of communication, the firm withdrew most of my retainer without any clear justification or explanation. Communication throughout was inconsistent, and I was met with repeated delays, unclear updates, and evident disorganization within the office, resulting in no substantive progress. I now find myself in a position where I have been disadvantaged twice, first by my client and now by my own counsel. I do not recommend working with this attorney.

He could not defend his client's interest in the court. He only not objected to present client's evidences to the judge, but he could not simply give a closing statement when asked by a judge. Also, he could not argue to discredit the opponent’s denial to a signed affidavit. He simply accepted whatev...er statement the opponent made without scrutinizing the opponent’s statement. He only not drafted, signed, and submitted a decree to the court without mutual agreement with his client and no signature from his client, but misconstrued the judge’s rendition which increased the client’s lost instead of helping to reduce client’s lost.

An unexpected twist happened in my custody case causing my final trial to be rescheduled and my attorney at the time asked for a new retainer for the new trial date despite that I already paid for the initial trial, which didn’t happen. I couldn’t afford it abut paid it partially. Then he requested e...ven more which left me without an attorney. I was in an extremely strong position in my custody case but going it at without an attorney would have been catastrophic. Brian was the third family law lawyer Id hired and will be the last. Not only is he knowledgeable, accessible and affordable but he’s practical and ethical. A lawyer is a businessman, a person who wants to maximize their earnings. Brian isn’t a businessman transacting with a client, he’s an advocate for his clients. You will not be billed excessively. Your strategy will be logical and practical and false promises will not be made. He’s not the attorney who’s going to pursue unrealistic outcomes to maximize his billable hours. My attorney prior to Brian was ethical but unaffordable to me. I promise you my case is more complex and contested than most cases and the amount I’ve paid Brian to date is a tenth of what I’ve spent with other attorneys . Brian saved me at a time of extreme desperation, if you have custody challenges and have limited funds Brian should be your go to family law attorney. Do not go at it pro-se.

Brian McGiverin = Integrity + Skill + Compassion + Value. I am very fortunate to have found Brian McGiverin to represent me in my divorce decree modification lawsuit. Not only did he win my case against an experienced board certified family lawyer, he has saved me from much grief, loss and future c...onflict. Brian made the best use of his time with my money. His paralegal assistant, Amy Kamp, was very attentive and supportive throughout my case also. I am very fortunate to have found Brian and his team. I would definitely hire him again if necessary in the future and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a top attorney who delivers great results for an affordable price.
