No response

Over a month of no communication; not returning phone calls. The case was left hanging and we are scrambling to find the solution.

We don't know who this is, or what situation the person could be describing.

Brian is the absolute best!

Brian is the best! My former employer really went after me, saying all sorts on untruths that sounded terrible and made me look like villain. I was anxious and stressed but Brian couldn't have been more comforting and knowledgable. We won the appeal and I'm very sure I would not have on my own. Brian... does have the most calming, professional and kind demeanor. He's the best at what he does and I couldn't believe that I could also afford his services as I am hurting so much financially.

Miracle Worker!

On behalf of my wife and myself, we thank Brian enough from the bottom of our hearts for the work he did in getting us the insurance company coverage for our legal battle. It was truly a miracle to us. I don't know how you did it but I am not going to question it either. After reading our poli...cy over and over we could see no way possible that the insurance company would give us any coverage for any reason. Yet Brian found a way. We will forever be grateful to Brian for his efforts as he probably saved us from a life of poverty in our retirement years. Thanks is just not good enough but I don't have the words to express it any better. So... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Brian!

Helpful and knowledgeable

Brain was very upfront and honest from the beginning about my unemployment case. I ended up hiring him because he seemed very honest a knowledgeable. He was right there for anything I needed and gave me a sense of ease during the phone hearing knowing he was there and asking the right questions.

great representation

Brian successfully represented me in an unemployment appeals hearing. It was my first time hiring a lawyer or dealing with a situation like this. Brian provided very thorough counseling and support with my case. I would highly recommend him for you legal needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
