    Brian was/is my divorce attorney. I hired him on the advice of a friend who went through a messy divorce (mine was too), and it was the best thing I did during my divorce. He's helped with a couple of follow up issues in the years since.

    The main thing I liked about Brian is that he was calm and measured. My ex would do something horrible, or make some outrageous legal claim, and I would start to respond with some of the same, and Brian would calmly explain why my I should not do so, and why her approach was probably going to be counter productive to her. ...

    Kevin is a fine advocate who balances a zealous approach with consideration for his clients' views, feelings and needs. He is particularly valuable when pursuing a claim that he feels represents important equitable interests and when he is convinced that a client will not get a fair shake without his help.

    Kevin is an excellent attorney, in and out of the court room. He is detail oriented and knows his area of the law very, very well. He is incredibly thorough and responsive to clients (and nonclients alike) while also being thoughtful and circumspect in his practice, always thinking ahead in a logical and extremely perceptive manner.
