Highly recommended

Brian Short has provided exceptional service to me in an employment matter that has far exceeded my expectations. The whole experience was so much easier on me because of him. I’d HIGHLY recommend Brian to anyone in a similar position. His work is very thorough and dealt with my case with total profe...ssionalism and urgency. His communication was always clear and always placed my best interests at his utmost priority. The outcome was everything that I had hoped for and I would highly recommend his services.

Great service, great result!

I hired Short Legal to handle my case against my former employer. They did a wonderful job and settled for more than I would've gotten had I tried to take care of the matter myself!

Brian and Dorota

I used this firm on the peak of the pandemic March 2020 to be exact. For my case of my previous job I let them know what happened and were really interested. Must I say I went through 8 different firms and no one seemed like they really cared to follow up but this firm THIS FIRM HERE!!!! went out the...re way Dorota was the lawyer that helped me through it all. She assure me that I get paid everything that was owed to me from the company. It was an 8 month process really patient about it all. The firm brought up a lot of dirt that I myself never knew so Dorota did everything in her power Brian as well they both assure me if I don’t get paid they won’t either but they made it happen. I HIGHLY recommend this firm they keep you updated on everything. Nothing is left unsaid everything is brought to the table. By all means do your research but don’t pass up these guys I’m super satisfied with them

Client

I have spent 12 years trying to collect on a judgement and Brian was able to give results in less than 3 months. He is a godsend and would recommend him to anyone. He was communicative and made me feel like I was a priority!!! Thanks Brian for everything

Excellent service and attention to concerns

Mr. Short and his firm was extremely helpful with my case which was most difficult. Although we are currently in a wait and see what happens next status, Mr. Short provided me peace of mind, confidence in his ability and firm, and kept me informed and educated every step of the way. I would highly re...commend him and his firm.

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.
