I strongly endorse this lawyer in the fields of contracts, natural resources, and general practice law.

I have full confidence that, with his expert advocacy and dedication to your case, he will get you the best possible results. I am a fellow attorney in private practice. If any of my clients, friends, or loved ones were seeking the best possible contracts or general practice attorney in Mendocino County, I would refer to Brian.

Brian is an extremely knowledgeable, diligent and deliberate attorney. In dealing with clients and fellow attorneys he is extremely patient and always in control, not letting the “heat of the moment” detract from the client’s ultimate goals and best interests. It is a pleasure to work for/with him.
