Anxious about filing? Brian can help!

I was really worried about filing and kept trying to think of all the different scenarios and concerns I had. I’dee been awake worried for days when I spoke with Brian by phone. A quick half an hour where I was able to get answers to questions led to him reassuring me that in his many years of experi...ence, nothing I was describing was unique. I think that in itself and having him tell me how he could help me allowed me to begin to look past my current woes and start to look forward to a better, brighter future. I enjoyed the conversation and can’t wait to work more with Brian.

I will refer anyone I know to Brian

I came in and discussed some things with Brian. He walked me through every option he felt was a possibility. He was not only very knowledgeable he also was compassionate and understanding. There aren’t many people out there these days that have all of that. I felt absolutely comfortable talking to ...Brian and he assured me that I am not the only one dealing with certain things in life. That made me feel much better in itself. He has seen and dealt with many scenarios for many years!!!! Thank you Brian!!!!!!!

Dedicated, Honest, and Affordable

I have been Brian’s client for years. I’ve always been able to pick up the phone and he’s made himself available for any various legal questions I have had. He has always eased my mind and I have always been able to trust his advice. Even though he is busy, he makes time for me. For those who are... looking for an attorney, I would highly recommend him because he has a brilliant legal mind and he is an excellent advocate for his clients. I would never go to any other attorney.

An Attorney You Really Can Trust

Needing a lawyer is like needing a fire extinguisher. You hope you don't ever have to use one, but if you do, you want one that's going to do the job quickly, professionally and completely. Recently my husband and I needed legal advice. Brian provided not only the advice we needed, but he took the ti...me to thoroughly discuss our situation with us and completely explain our options to us. If you seeking an attorney who is an expert, attentive, realistic, and will treat you with professional and personal courtesy, Brian Hallaq is the attorney you are looking for.

"I endorse this lawyer. Brian is a strong advocate for his clients. He is a skilled attorney and has a great deal of knowledge about the legal field of bankruptcy and debt. But, in addition to providing superb representation to his clients, he has a level of integrity that far surpasses many attorneys. It is a delicate balance for attorneys to provide representation that both provides legal advocacy to their clients and the support they need from an advocate during challenging times. Brian does an excellent job striking this balance. He is both kind and supportive of his clients and the difficult circumstances they are often facing, but he also has the knowledge, training and skill to represent them in a successful and capable manner in the courts. There are not many attorneys that can provide this holistic approach to their clients. I recommend Brian's legal services to people on a regular basis as I know his clients receive the highest level of legal representation that exists"

"I first met Brian in Court in Tacoma in 2010. I was preparing my client for his 341 Court hearing when he asked some technical questions. I looked up and saw Brian. I then rapid fired my questions and he answered them meticulously and patiently - without even knowing me. Over the years I’ve seen him treat his clients with respect, compassion, and genuine care. As an attorney, he has a sharp legal mind, he is brilliant, and he is resourceful. He thinks outside of the box and he is a tenacious advocate for his clients. I was so impressed by him that I married him years later! I can say that I objectively and strongly endorse this attorney."
