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.

Absolutely amazing attorney

I hired Brian for unemployment appeal representation. It was a long, ugly complicated case and Brian was amazing throughout the process. He is very experienced and knows what he is doing. We won the case, but even if I did not, I would recommend Brian to anyone I know. He is a very seasoned attorne...y with significant experience that can go neck and neck against some of the toughest opposing counsels I have seen. Brian has an ultra-calm demeanor, but don't let that fool you, because he is incredible at bringing out specific valid arguments that show his vast knowledge of the law. I feel very lucky to have found Brian, and I honestly came across him through other reviews online that emphasized his experience but his amazingly calm demeanor that is so supportive and needed for someone seeking an attorney. I can verify those other reviews are on point with what I experienced working with Brian. So I hope my review helps someone else that needs legal representation find Brian. He is top-notch attorney and just a decent, really great person in general.

Highly recommended!

As a business owner, I recently hired Brian to represent me in an Unemployment hearing. An employee was making false allegations for financial gain. Brian was able to accommodate my schedule with incredibly short notice. The hearing was in a week! Impressive service. He is experienced, smart and get...s the job done. He gave me outstanding guidance, was dependable and reliable. He always returned phone calls and emails in a timely fashion. He has a great rapport, calm demeanor, and is trustworthy. He was approachable, honest, had reasonable solutions and fair fees. He will understand what you are going through and you can count on him to do what is right, (through a sometimes unnerving process). He will ease your anxiety and help to reduce unnecessary stress.His good legal advise can actually save you money, increase your chances to prevail and obtain the outcome you deserve. I did prevail. No hesitation in this recommendation. I am a satisfied client giving him 5 stars and he deserves 10. Recommend him to anyone looking. Consider going here.
