“From the very start my call was returned surprisingly fast. Brian clearly explained the process on our first meeting and never once did i feel rushed or pressured to hire him. When i contacted him with questions he was extremely prompt with responses. Brian seemed very knowledgeable in my case. I would highly recommend him as an attorney. I can not say enough about how smoothly my case went due to Brian and his hard work.”
