Brian Michael Starns

Brian represented me in a civil compromise for a hit-and-run accident. The other party initially offered no compensation and it was unclear if the DA would prioritize a prosecution for a low-level incident. Brian educated me on my rights, managed all communications and successfully negotiated a settl...ement. I really appreciated his understanding not just of the law, but of the dynamics of the legal system in order to fully understand my situation and bring a satisfying resolution.

Brian was personable, responsive and kind throughout this procedure. Needing a lawyer is never fun, but Brian was very easy to work with. He spent a good deal of time on the phone with me in our initial conversation going over my options. I spoke with several lawyers regarding my case and he seeme...d the most compassionate. He was very easy to talk with when we met in person. He was thorough in his questioning to determine the best course of action for my case. His office responded to my calls right away. He researched and developed a defense that was thorough and well conceived. Brian cares for what is the right thing. I have worked with lawyers in the past that seemed only interested in their rate and did not explain things fully or follow up with information. Brian prepared me for the court date and he let me know what to expect. He was present and invested in the case from beginning to end. I would recommend Brian to others in the area.

Brian was very straightforward and informational, talking with him directly and knowing what was needed from me was helpful while he did the legal side of the process. He keeps you up-to-date on your case so you aren't left in the dark, and will let you know if anything changes. My only concern was t...hat I did not receive my paperwork in the mail as requested but as soon as I talked to the receptionist she was more than willing to send me my papers. I would highly recommend Brian as an attorney and will be using him if I need more legal services in the Hood River area!
