Testimonials from Colleagues and Clients

  • “Brian served his country for over 20 years, including in northern Iraq where he provided full spectrum legal services for two large battalion formations and their commanders while in an active combat zone. His skills in issue management and organization distinguished him among and above his peers. I strongly endorse him as an attorney and adviser in business litigation and negotiation.”

    Colleague Who Served in Iraq
  • “Brian offers the best of both worlds: he is both quick AND conscientious. His credentials and experience are impeccable but — equally importantly — his manner and personality put us instantly at ease. Brian helped our company with some complex decisions regarding IP; even though our queries and needs were unclear at first, Brian helped us to understand our options, then guided our plans and actions with a remarkably deft touch. Two more qualities bear mentioning: the first is that it was clear from the start that Brian’s primary motivation was to *help us* — putting our needs and interests first, rather than simply focusing on profits and billable hours. The other outstanding quality is Brian’s solid-gold integrity: as a physician, I’m afraid I’ve been conditioned to be wary of attorneys, but Brian’s honesty and integrity rank among the very highest I’ve encountered in ANY profession. We definitely plan to consult with Brian in the future!”

Brian is an excellent lawyer with extensive experience in litigation, transactional law, and negotiations. He is hardworking, ethical and civil in his dealings with other lawyers, staff, and members of the public.”

    Professional Colleague and Friend
  • “Brian has served as my personal attorney, and I have developed great respect for Brian’s legal skills. What is most impressive is that Brian not only has a vast knowledge of both public and private sector law, but also a well – developed understanding of how the legal system actually works.”

    Valued Client of Many Years
  • “I have known and worked with Brian for more than twenty years. He is an extraordinary lawyer with exceptional skills in litigation and complex conflict resolution. His signature penchant for thorough preparation is complimented by an engaging persona, experience in the courtroom, and his astounding network of connections in law and politics.”
