I cannot emphasize enough the overall wonderful experience we had with Brian. It was a long haul in court, but he made it easy and less stressful than it actually was. His professionalism is something to note, along with his expertise. He is is very personable and makes you feel important by taking the time with you that is needed. I highly recommend!

Brian was extremely helpful to my family and I guiding us through my prenup. He was kind, professional, easy to get a hold of and extremely knowledgeable. I always feared that doing a prenup would be uncomfortable but he created a very safe place for me.

Brian did a phenomenal job in representing my divorce case. He truly worked very hard for me and did an "Outstanding Job" in representing me. I truly appreciated his wonderful skills. Brian is a wonderful attorney who is a very hard worker, possesses wonderful negotiating skills, very detailed-oriented, and very well respected by his associates and other attorneys. His hard work and tenacity truly sets him apart from his peers. Brian demonstrated to me that I was a very important client to him; and he truly felt the anxiety of what I was going thru with my complicated divorce case and was very compelled to do an "Outstanding Job" for me. Brian was very efficient and extremely organized throughout the process and always kept me updated with any news regarding my case. I would highly recommend Brian to everyone I know that could use his services. He is a very ethical attorney who truly places his clients "First" and will do everything he can to deliver Outstanding Results for them. I truly rate Brian as an Excellent Attorney!

I hired Brian as a consultant. Brian helped me understand the legal process and the issues that were most important in my divorce case. He knew the details of my case well. He provided clear and forceful counsel about ways to argue for a more fair settlement agreement. He responded promptly and thoroughly to my questions. I appreciate his knowledge, experience, and approachable manner. I would highly recommend working with Brian.

In the hardest time of my life Brian stepped in and helped me through all of my struggles! He was extremely professional and would work all hours to ensure every detail of my divorce was properly in place. At times I was a horrible client but it never seemed to slow down his determination and drive to make sure I was given the most time possible with my amazing son. He us truly a genuinely good person with his clients best interests always his number one priority.

Brian tried to make the legal aspect of one of the hardest times in my life as easy on me as possible. He was always there to listen and calm me down when I would call and be upset about something to do with my divorce. His two assistants, first Lucy and then Julie, were both just as helpful and knowledgeable when it came to correctly filling out the boatloads of paperwork and documentation that come with going through a divorce.

I worked with Brian in 2012. Brian not only handled my case with the utmost professionalism, but also with comforting confidence which helped to put my fears to rest. After having lost a support modification filed by my ex in 2006, (with another attorney), I was hesitant to fight when my ex filed for yet another support modification in 2012. Brian gave me the courage and strength I needed to push forward and the end result of my case was victorious! Not only did we walk away from court with the support modification ruled in my favor that day, Brian's expert judgment and knowledge of the law helped the judge to see the facts, in addition to my ex's dishonesty and deceitfulness. Brian took a personal interest in my case and his kindness and support during the entire process will never be forgotten. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian and his team, (and I have already to many), for anybody looking for a high quality lawyer and law firm.
