This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Outstanding consultation

Brian was extremely helpful in understanding our rights related to a litigation involving an old car accident. His experience working with insurance companies and accident related litigation was evident as he was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to explain the process and the implications... for us. Brian took the time to cover all aspects and provided invaluable insights related to our case. Highly recommend his services.

Best Civil Attorney in the San Francisco Bay Area

Brian is what you want and expect out of attorney. Very professional, always goes by the book and laws, very up front and honest. And to this day Brian remains to stay in contact with me even though my case was done and over (which we won). I highly recommend Brian as a Lawyer to anyone who wants som...eone to fight on your side with. Thank you again Brian, I could never repay you for the justice you brought to my family and I .

Good Attorney

I have talked to several attorneys in the past 6 months and none of them impressed me (except Brian Sudano). Brian was so helpful with very good advice. All the other attorneys I spoke to either did not bother to return my call, or seemed disorganized and basically not very honest. He answered all my... questions clearly and informatively, and does not waste your time.

Fantastic Social Security Attorney

Fantastic and personable attorney. Mr. Sudano took my case when I was dropped by another firm just prior to a hearing. Mr. Sudano gathered the necessary and pertinent information needed for the hearing, kept me informed and calm throughout the waiting stage and up through the final hearing. With h...is expertise and knowledge, we WON. After 3 long years of dealing with the Social Security Administration, and having another firm neglect, then dump me, I cannot say enough about Mr. Sudano, wish I would have contacted in the beginning of my case.

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.
