Highly Recommend Brian Horan

Brian is AMAZING! He is attentive, empathetic and means business. I am so appreciative and grateful to have had him represent me with my dissolution of marriage. There is no need to look anywhere else.

Family lawyer | Aug 01

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"You know you have a good lawyer when the opposing party loses so badly that they take the time to write a fake review. I have been a practicing attorney for a quarter of a century, and I can say without reservation that Mr. Horan is one of the best lawyers I know. I have watched him in court, and I have seen him get amazing results in the most difficult of cases. I only refer people to other lawyers who I would trust with my own family. Mr. Horan is at the very top of my list. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions."

"Brian is a great attorney that is passionate about wanting to help people. He always strives to do his best when advocating for his client's, but he also takes reasonable and responsible positions in court. Brian is excellent at assessing a case and being able to see the forest from the trees. Whenever I refer cases in Ventura county, he is on my short list of recommending attorneys."

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.
