We first met in law school, then again afterwards at the courthouse. We represented different parties aligned in a multiple party lawsuits twice. We have also referred each other business. We also consult with each other from time to time.

First, he understands where a client is coming from. He can then take their goals and explain how the law impacts their goals and their case. He also knows the judges he practices in front of and can better estimate outcomes. He explains the reality of each situation to his client so that they can make informed decisions. Brian is also great in the courtroom and knows evidence laws, as well as how to structure a case and argument so that it has the most impact.
