This is your guy!

Brian Shuck is the right attorney for many different legal needs. He takes the time to listen and understand. Whether I needed an easement, lease agreement, will, trust, LLC arrangement, or like document, Mr. Shuck will apply his expertise to customize your legal document.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Better people out there.

Do not recommend. Was very rude, unprofessional and condescending. I can't believe how I was mistreated.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Easy to understand and served my needs quickly.

I am a young, blue-collar guy. I wanted an expert to help make sure I'd be well-protected by my LLC as I am getting into real estate investing. Brian and his staff got me in for a meeting quickly and a week-and-a-half later all of the necessary legal paperwork was completed to satisfaction and filed ...with the Secretary of State's office. Everything was explained clearly and simply and he and his staff responded quickly to my emails and questions along the process. Online payment for services was very convenient and easy. Brian also agreed to meet later in the evening a couple times which made my life easier and he didn't rush through the meeting to get me out the door. I will be going back to him for future real estate legal services.

Very Responsive Attorney

We hired Brian to assist in a matter we had in Cheyenne. He listened to our issues and offered well-rounded insight to what we had faced. He drafted a demand letter that produced a positive outcome. He was perceptive on what we required and our working relationship with Brian was seamless. We wil...l definitely work with Brian in the future.

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.
