At the outset of every case, Brian thinks creatively about how to optimize the outcome, and then he puts those ideas into action. Clients appreciate Brian's energy, candid and timely evaluations, his efforts to settle cases before substantial litigation costs are incurred, and his preparation and skill at trial on those cases that can't be settled.
