One of the best attorneys in the nation

As GC of a large corporation, I have hired Brian for multiple matters. Brian never ceases to amaze me with his ability to solve problems creatively while exhibiting an uncommon level of expertise and professionalism. I will always look to Brian for his advice and wisdom. He is, quite simply, one of ...the best attorneys in the country.

Highly Recommended

I came to know Brian a couple of years ago after searching for an attorney to represent me in a corporate matter. From the onset, he impressed me with his knowledge and speed to accomplish the task at hand. Our business relationship continued with the establishment of Safeguard Property Mgt. of... NE, Fl, Inc. Two years later, and Brian still represents Safeguard. If you are looking for an attorney that stays abreast of current law changes, and uses those changes to reduce your work load, call Brian.

Brian Rowland is a Professional who stands behind his clients

Brian Rowland has shown honesty and professionalism every time I have worked with him. He truly seeks his clients BEST interest and continues to uphold honesty and integrity through his work.

If you are seeking one attorney to take care of all of your company's needs, this is your attorney.

We hired Brian through his previous firm when our company was purchasing land to start a new branch of our company in Jacksonville. During the purchase of the land, we ran into several obstacles (wetlands, survey, environmental, etc). Brian was on top of each and every issue. His professionalism an...d depth of knowledge made us very comfortable as we completed the purchase of the property. Afterwards, his ability to setup company legal entities, draft articles of incorporation, setup mortgages, and so much more. Brian Rowland has earned our trust and respect. So much so that when he parted company with his previous firm, we kept him as our company attorney (vice his previous firm). He is our ONLY attorney for three companies in Florida. I would recommend Brian Rowland without hesitation. Particularly if you are seeking one attorney to take care of all of your company's needs.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Brian and I have known each other professionally for over ten years. In that time Brian has demonstrated the utmost professionalism. And arguably more important for a business attorney, an understanding of business exceeding that of most business attorneys. Brian was in business before going to law school. He brings that knowledge to the table."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
