Ian is not only an amazing attorney, both in the civil and criminal fields, but I can say, without hesitation, that he is one of the most motivated people I have ever met. Ian represents every client with a fervor and zeal rarely seen in the mostly stuffy, and formal legal arena. Any client that is fortunate enough to have him on their side has a secret weapon, and couldn't ask for more.

This guy is wicked smart -- and one helluva nice guy. His breadth of knowledge regarding how to get right to the heart of a criminal matter -- and how to find that teeny nuance in order to turn the case -- is stunning. Despite the surfer exterior, he's tough as nails in the courtroom and comes prepared for any matter, no matter how big or small. Ian is the real deal. He brings the heat to any prosecutor. He sees the big picture; he visualizes how to win; and then he goes and does just that. I endorse Ian without reservation.

Ian is the consummate criminal defense attorney. He is aggressive, creative, intelligent, and thinks outside the box in the defense of his clients. Ian has an outstanding trial record and fights endlessly for his clients until the prosecution capitulates and/or he obtains his "not guilty" verdict.
