Perfect Process
Brian is very thorough, professional and knowledgeable about his work. I was placed in a very unfamiliar situation and I was glad to have been referred to him. He handled every detail and I never had to worry about having my case in his hands or worry about not getting a great outcome. I am a very particular person and Brian was able to respect my wishes and the whole process was golden from the first day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, there is nothing he can't do.

Great lawyer, saved me
I had multiple charges that I was fighting, I contacted Brian's office from out of state. He was able to get everything dismissed. I was basically facing a charge from 12 years ago that i did not know was there and had another charge i knew was there.. he got all of that thrown out plus my old outstanding obligation was even dismissed, so that was basically a bonus.. He did what he said he would and I am free now. I have 3 kids and work for the government, I need to provide for them and be able to obtain/maintain my security clearance, and now I can. Thanks Brian Note to evryone: this was my 3rd dv conviction, even though everytime was under false pretence, i still had 2 prior convictions and he still helped me. They can reccomend 1-3 years+ for that charge alone, plus he got my previous 3 years of unserved probation thrown out.. Go with him, he is legit.. Thanks again Brian B)

Went out of his way to help!
I contacted Mr Lafferty to help with my son’s issue in CA. I quickly reviewed on line attorney sites since I am out of state and selected Brian after trying to work with a couple other lawyers. Brian was willing to get right on the case. My son was just passing through the area and was robbed, he knocked on a door for help and the police arrested him. Charges were not filed and Brian got him out of jail, purchased a bus ticket to get him home and feed him - going the extra mile. He returned part of the retainer after the case did not proceed.

Brian Gets The Job Done!!
I hired Brian in March 2018 to finish up the process of getting my criminal record expunged that I had started and never completed when things got complicated. Brian ran into more than a few road blocks but was able to cross very bridge at no extra cost to me and got the job done! I highly recommend his services!!

Professional, friendly and respectfull
Brian is a excellent individual to work with. He is very punctual and always returns phone calls emails or text messages with any questions you may have with your case. I was charged with several felonies, Brian did his absolute best and fought my case with true passion. After many months of Court hearings and long days and hours that Brian spent on my case, it was determined my felonies were now misdemeanors. If you are looking for a professional courteous and attention to detail hard working for you attorney this is your guy! If I ever run into issues in the future I will most definitely use Brian Lafferty
