My family is a client of Bryan's. We were referred to Bryan by a friend and we are so glad that we were able to work with him. Bryan treats like a friend, not just a client. He has compassion and works with us to make sure we have everything taken care of. He well researched background information for the case and has explained things along every step of the way. He is detailed oriented, meticulous, methodical, comprehensive and thinks of things that we never would have thought of.
I hired this attorney for personal injury case after being referred to him by another law firm. He quickly responded to my phone call. He was very professional, took care to listen to my concerns, and explained the legal process to me since this was not anything I had been through before. I received a settlement that I was very happy with. I would highly recommend this attorney to others.
He did a great job with my car wreck case.
