Business structure and employment contracts

I recently was considering restructuring our company as well as hiring two senior executives for which I needed customized employment contracts. I was referred to Brian through a friend and was a little hesitant because I knew his specialty was real estate law. However, after meeting with him I was... confident that I was in good hands. My desire to restructure was based on a previous consultation with another attorney. Brian was unconvinced, so he consulted with a colleague with experience in the type of corporate structuring. He then meticulously outlines the potential advantages and disadvantages as well as the cost implications. The end result is that we avoided a extremely costly restructuring and walked away with two strong employment contracts.

Real Estate Lease Breach - Legal Representation

Brian was fantastic in the support he provided me and my company in our lease dispute. He clearly was an expert in this field of practice and provided me with expert direction and most importantly comfort in how the process would unfold. His expertise and the comfort it provided me in our course o...f action allowed me to focus on the needs of the business and not get distracted by a legal matter. Brian's patience and bedside manner in educating me about the process was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Brian!

Trustworthy & Detailed

I work for a commercial real estate firm in the Inland Empire and I have used Brian's services to help my clients. Brian is very trustworthy and very responsive, I have always found him to be quick and accurate in his responses. Brian has earned the trust of not just myself, but more importantly the ...clients I have represented on deals. I look forward to working with Brian more in the future and he will always be the first person I call when I need assistance. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a hard working, honest and trustworthy real estate attorney.
