Experienced and passionate

Mr. Blackham handled my case fairly quickly. With my circumstances, I was able to keep my family safe because of his expertise. When I was ready to give in from being worn down, Mr. Blackham kept fighting. He was sincere yet strong when fighting for what was right in my case. I highly recommend h...iring Mr. Blackham for any complicated or "simple" situation.

Persistence pays off

Brian Blackham was excellent during the trial that resulted in primary custody for me, a father, after 8 long years of trying to ensure my children have the environment they both wanted and deserved. Simply put, he delivered. The entire law office was always straight with me, understood my situatio...n, didn't take advantage of my desire to help my children, and on both occasions when they recommended I take action, they proved right. They don't tell you what you want to hear, they tell you how it really is. As a result, I didn't just have attorneys, I had a group of talented people in the trenches with me. They were timely, gave suggestions on how to minimize costs, attentive, and at times, tough on me, which kept me focused. They are the reason my children are in a better place today.

On point

Brian was excellent to work with. This is my second time using kunin & carman. Brian kept me informed through every step of the process. On hearing day he fought to get me everything I deserved and more.

Divorce and Custody

Brian was recommended to me by a family member who is an attorney. Brian was always responsive to my needs, listened intently, followed my direction or gave legitimate reasons why we needed to go a different route and remained professional at all times. He was always prepared for court appearances ...and his ethics were never questioned. Brian has an extensive amount of knowledge and knows how to deal with other attorneys who don't exhibit his consistent level of professionalism while maintaining his own. I will and have recommended Brian to others who need good legal representation.

Property Settlement Case

Brian is an awesome attorney. During the case he handled for me he was always very thorough and responded to my phone calls and emails. My case had unusual circumstances and was tough on me since the other party was very difficult. But I always felt confident that Brian was on my side and would do... everything he could to settle it fairly on my behalf. I would reccomend him to anyone and already have.

"Brian has an outstanding reputation amongst family law practitioners. Recently, I had the opportunity to send him a client who needed a lawyer on a probono basis. Brian was in the midst of trial prep, but did everything possible to see and meet with the person and he took on her case. He is not only an outstanding lawyer, but he has great compassion. I endorse and highly recommend him."
