I sought Brian out when a custody issue developed between my ex-wife and myself concerning our 14 year old son. I am on disability and my financial situation dictated that I find someone willing to work with me on that front. My wife and I met with Brian and were impressed with him. He is very friendly with an easy manner. He has a way of taking tense and intimidating situations and deflating them, making those situations much more comfortable and easier to handle. He is great at helping you stay centered when everything around you seems to have gone haywire. For us, he was a steadying presence in the most chaotic and disruptive situation of our lives.
My case was a very contentious and difficult one. Brian worked long and hard for me and always got back to me when I had concerns or questions. My wife and I were in a place where every new development felt like an emergency, so there were a lot of times when we would get a little more worked up than was appropriate, but Brian was very patient with us and helped move us from a panicked state to a much calmer place.
One of Brian's strengths is his ability to make legal processes and documents understandable for the layman. Obviously, dealing with a legal situation can be very confusing, but I was always able to understand clearly what we were dealing with after Brian had explained things to me. Needless to say, it was very comforting to know that I wasn't going to be left in the dark and confused by legal terminology and procedure.
Brian represented me very ably in the court room. He seemed very comfortable and confident in that environment, and did his best to minimize the amount of pressure I felt. I was particularly struck by the feeling that he was fighting hard to protect me and my interests. I feel like Brian is the kind of lawyer that will fight for his clients, because I saw him fighting for me.
When the process was over, I ended up in a better place than where I started concerning my custody situation. I have more time with my son than I did before all of this, and I have Brian to thank for that. His hard work and dedication to my case yielded positive results, and believe me when I say that he went far beyond his responsibilities to help me. Considering my financial limitations, I did not think it would be possible to find anyone as capable and engaged as Brian was. He did what most lawyers would not. He put helping a client in need over immediate financial concerns.
With all that said, I personally feel like Brian is genuinely a good person. My situation was a difficult and frustrating one, and because of my disability, I can be a difficult person to deal with. The fact that Brian stuck by me with care and understanding through what had to be a frustrating case for him is something I will always be grateful for. If you want a lawyer that will represent you capably and who will always do right by you, then I cannot recommend Brian Johnson enough. read more
