As both a client and attorney (one who does not specialize in family law), I highly recommend Brian Urban as collaborative divorce counsel. With Brian's expert guidance, I was able to drive my own collaborative process in terms of the timing of the process and pursuing my priorities in the divorce, negotiate agreements with my ex spouse that best suited our respective needs and the needs of our children, and preserve communication with my ex spouse about our children. Brian is an excellent communicator who responded promptly and with a great deal of consideration to my every question. I appreciate that Brian's fees are reasonable, and that he worked efficiently and effectively to control costs of the collaborative process. In addition, Brian's integrity is second to none. He exhibited honesty and professionalism at every stage of my collaborative process. I would recommend Brian without reservation to anyone who elects to pursue a collaborative divorce.

working with brian helped me thru a difficult personal situation. he was always assessable, good listener, and very professional. he gave great legal advise, and prevented me from making bad decisions. he was recommended to me and I would recommend him to others.

There is an old saying which states, “The definition of a fair divorce settlement is that both parties walk away unhappy.” After 31 years of marriage, raising three children and running a successful company, I did not want this antiquated interpretation of divorce to define our family. The concept of “collaborative divorce” which encompassed negotiations, compromise and creative problem solving with legal representation was certainly the answer for our family. Brian Urban personified these altruistic concepts and helped us reach a “win-win” resolution to our divorce avoiding painful and damaging litigation. Brian Urban was instrumental in our collaborative divorce in many ways including the following; - He was an exceptional communicator and a fountainhead of creative problem resolution options. - He put me at ease, kept me informed and prepared me for every step of the process. - His perspective and advice were key to helping me focus on “the big picture” involving legal issues and what was important to me, thus avoiding inconsequential emotional topics. - Brian’s knowledge and experience in Divorce Law was instrumental in keeping the process on point and moving forward in a timely, cost effective manner. - Brian protected ALL my interests, including the company, which is a source of income for my ex-wife, children and myself. He made sure BOTH parties understood that a healthy negotiating environment would keep the company intact and benefit everyone. - After being involved in many, many negotiations over the years I can tell you HE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST AT WHAT HE DOES! I am proud to have Brian Urban as a representative because he treated all parties with respect and fairness. But I want to be clear, even though it was a “collaborative divorce”, he ALWAYS had my best interest. My ex-wife and I amicably talk on a daily basis and our children are very happy we embraced the process of a collaborative divorce.

Brian was my attorney for my divorce in 2016. Brian was outstanding. Brian is experienced and he navigated all the legal processes with great skill. However, what I believe makes Brian an exceptional lawyer is his holistic approach to the entire process I had to go through. Brian started by educating me so I would not be surprised by the various stages. He demonstrated great skill and great empathy in supporting me during tough times and helping me understand when we were dealing with emotional issues versus legal issues. He was sensitive to the cost of the divorce. He gave accurate assessments of options. Sometimes being right is not cost effective. He helped me make the right, small compromises to facilitate a more rapid settlement at a reasonable cost. He included me every step of the way. Finally, I was proud to have him represent me. He treated everyone, the judge, my spouse, her attorney and me with great respect.

I was told before I started the Divorce process that Divorce is not fun. It is painful, awful, expensive, and you generally feel bad and beat up during the whole process. When I hired Brian Urban, I was hoping that those things listed above would not be 100% true. To my surprise, the Divorce process was not as painful as I thought it would be. It was still somewhat costly, but how else can people who can’t see eye to eye any more figure things out? I would simply say the above can be achieved by hiring a lawyer who understands the feelings and emotions that are present during the divorce process. And by having an attorney who is available; to discuss ideas with, to consult with, and to generally assist with the legal as well as the other aspects of the divorce process. Brian also returned all calls and at times when he was out of town or unavailable, I felt that Joan, in his office, was also available to talk with me and help me cope with the process. The bottom line is Brian helped guide me through the process and never lost sight of the end goal: to complete the divorce as painlessly and inexpensively as possible without causing both sides to feel horrible. I would highly recommend anyone contemplating this process consider hiring Brian Urban. I am very glad I did.

It's so rare in today's society that you experience excellence in service. Not so with Brian Urban. Brian was responsive, attentive, and extremely personable. I could contact Brian anytime of the week or day and he would get back with me almost immediately. A collaborative process is still a very emotional time. Brian offered guidance, was empathetic and looked out for my needs!

Brian and his staff were extremely compassionate, responsive, and professional. Brian was always well prepared and made sure I was prepared, too. His calm nature kept meetings from getting too heated or emotional. It has been one year since my divorce was finalized and my former spouse and I are amicable and the kids are thriving. We live in the same small city, and see each other regularly. Healing is well under way, largely because of the new ways of interacting we learned through the collaborative process.

Brian is smart, compassionate and strategic. His commitment to the collaborative process helps to ensure equitable outcomes for all parties — and improves the prospects for long-term harmony.

I hired Brian Urban for a post-decree matter which turned to litigation. Brian's expert guidance and realistic expectations helped me to feel at ease for both the process and the outcome. Brian kept me confident that an equitable resolution could be met and to trust in his course of action. He is patient, extremely thorough and sincerely cares for his clients and the children involved. He always acts in their best interest.

Brian Urban is committed to Collaborative Law as an alternative for those couples who have decided to end their marriage. When looking back on my experience of hiring Brian to represent me, I realize that not only did Brian help me achieve a fair and equitable divorce, but I was able to participate in all the decision making after the knowledge that I gained from Brian's suggestions to educate myself in the areas of communication, collaborative divorce and being detail oriented with all information that I had to provide to him. Brian expects his clients to participate: to do what he asks so that he can provide the best possible representation in each and every aspect of the proceedings. His goal is to make sure that his clients achieve their goal. I have nothing but positive things to say about Brian and his staff, who always made me feel that I was an important client. My questions/concerns were always answered in a timely manner. I know that I can still contact Brian with any concern dealing with the divorce and will receive a response from him.
