Clients frequently turn to me in times of significant stress and pressure. I take pride in offering a strong blend of legal and emotional intelligence, striving to instill confidence in clients that they will receive vigorous representation focused on achieving the best possible results. As one client states, “Brian is brilliant. He can articulate the legal issues and move on them decisively. He is responsive to the client, with an uncanny empathic ability to meet the client where they are. He follows up to make certain there is nothing hanging undone. He is successful in court. He works collaboratively with his colleagues.”

Clients value his diverse litigation background and straightforward, practical approach to resolving disputes in and outside the courtroom.
When asked…
Why did you become a lawyer?
I became a lawyer because I enjoy the challenge of learning new things, whether about different industries, businesses, areas of law or interpersonal dynamics. I am passionate about using my experience to help people solve problems. I enjoy learning their histories and understanding the complicated situations and family dynamics that have brought them to me. I focus on identifying alternative paths forward, assessing risks and then developing and implementing strategies to achieve the best possible client outcomes.
What do you do outside of work?
Outside of work, my life is primarily filled with the activities of my three young children. They are all involved in athletics, mainly soccer, basketball and baseball, which keeps us busy! When I’m not chasing after them, I try to stay active by hiking, running, biking and golfing. I also try to travel as much as I can to explore new places and create lasting memories with my family.
