Brian is the absolute best. He truly cares.

Brian and Diem changed my life. I cannot thank them enough. They truly care about their clients. I’ve been drowning in debt for many years. It’s all I could think about. My entire paycheck was going towards minimum payments to creditors. There was no way I was getting out of this without bankruptcy.... I lost my job over the summer and consulted with a handful of attorneys before finding Brian. After filling out an online form, Diem immediately called me and scheduled a consultation for Brian and I that afternoon. He spent over an hour with me, and i learned so much from him. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and he was ready to act fast! Other attorneys wanted me to wait months to file, and they couldn’t wait to get me off the phone. Brian took time to educate me and make sure I had all the facts. We ended up filing immediately. Brian was always a text or phone call away to answer all my questions. I was always afraid to file ch 7 bankruptcy, but from the moment I first spoke with Brian, I was at ease. I knew I was in good hands. The entire process was smooth, no problems whatsoever. Brian made sure I was fully prepared. I’ve already recommended him to friends who are in a similar situation, and I highly recommend him to whomever is reading this. Please just book a consult with him and start living life free of crippling debt. A huge weight has been lifted. He’s the best of the best.

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.

Great Team

I contacted Brian to discuss my options about filling bankruptcy. He was very kind and met with me that day to lay out my options for me. I decided to hire him and proceed with filing. He even stayed late with me to get it taken care of that day. Our meeting of the creditors has been pushed back due ...to current world events but Brain and Diem have been very responsive and helpful with all my questions (even on the weekend. Sorry guys). I would highly recommend them to anyone considering this hard decision. Brian is very knowledgeable, caring and understanding.

Prior to Brian opening his own law firm, I’ve hired Brian for estate planning. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and meticulous. He’s very responsive and always one step ahead of the game. I had peace of minds because I had Brian on my side. I am very grateful for Brian and all that he had done to hel...p me. Without any hesitation, I’d highly recommend Brian!

"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."
