I can't say enough good things about Brian. My divorce was a tough one, and Brian patiently explained my options, even when I was a mess. He formed an exceptional strategy that helped me tremendously. This guy knows his stuff!! His fiduciary commitment and extensive knowledge made everything go so well for me in such a tough time. Thank you, Brian!

Was recommended to use Brian on my divorce due to his "pitbull" approach for his clients - sadly I never saw this. During our initial consultation Brian told me that my divorce case did not need to be decided in the courts, rather it should be decided by 2 lawyers picking up the phone and hammering out the details. He also mentioned that he believed that a buyout of my ex-wife (maintenance) would be the way to go to. Four weeks after retaining him and no return call or response to my emails I stopped by his office in person only to have him tell me that I was not his only case and that he had placed calls to my ex-wife's attorney with no response back. 8 months later and several court dates being pushed off for "status", little to no communication, and no guidance at all my ex-wife and I finally sat down and began hammering out the details. Once I told Brian this he became upset and told me he did not agree on this approach at all. I expained that we had little assets, no custody to argue over - basically just maintenance and a few smaller items and that it should not take this long to settle this. He told me he would push my case to the top of the pile and begin working on a settlement draft. 3 weeks later with again no response to my communications, cancelled scheduled phone conferences (due to leaving office unexpectedly) the ex-wife and I again sat down and hammered out the detils and her lawyer drew up an agreement and sent a copy to Brian 10 days prior to a scheduled court date. 6 days later I finally received a response from Brian, who said after initial scanning of the agreement it looked good but he wanted a few hours to go over again. 2 hours later he sent me his changes and asked why we were in a rush to which I explained that this had dragged out long enough. I showed the changes to my ex and she went over with her lawyer the evening before court. There were a few things her lawyer did not like so her and I negotiated til midnight and finally agreed on things completely. She emailed her laywer and I updated Brian via email. I proceeded to court the following morning and was greeted by Brian with why are you here and why are you emailing me at midnight? He proceeded to get a bit heated about me not being his only client and that it was unreasonable for me to expect him to answer emails in the middle of the night. I explained that it was just an update for him to read in the morning (no expectation) and that I was at the courthouse to try to get this done and over with. He became more and more heated as he was explaining things to me finally telling me that I was forcing this agreement (an agreement he was supposed to write himself, an agreement he had made corrections to and told me was "a good deal") down his throat and that it was best that I leave and we finalize this the following month. When I asked why we would be delaying yet another month when her and I were in agreement (and he himself even looked over and was ok with)? By now Brian's voice was eleveated and drawing attention of others around so I told him I was going to walk away and sit down to which he replied I needed to leave the courthouse and let him do his job. Very unprofessional on his part. I have to say there was little to no communication during my time with Brain in addition to his belittling attitude. I would not recommend him again to anyone.

I really question the motives of the prior reviewer. Brian's role is to always look out for the best interest of his clients and their children, and I believe he does an exemplary job of it. He is highly professional and meticulous and I would recommend him to anyone.

Brian explained everything to me and walked me through everything. He is talented and level headed. He is very reasonably priced especially considering his experience. He was 1/3 my ex's lawyer's bill. He gave great advice and advocated for me and what I needed.

Brian has no respect for the rule of law of the correct way to handle family law. He aggravates and exacerbates situations, and has no respect or care for the children involved. "Family court" should be handled with the utmost sensitivity and care, because there are children involved, and instead Brian ATTACKS parties like he is working a "criminal case" instead of a "family law" case. He will leave a path of destruction for all parties who seek his "council". Your children will pay the heaviest price for listening to his "council" which is really just the way to aggravate the situation the most so he can get paid! It would be best if he gave up "family law" altogether and found a new profession.

Brian Nigohosian started out as my lawyer and became a true friend! He is an excellent advisor, professional, no-nonsense/ straightforward lawyer and intimidating to the apposing counsel because he knows his stuff and is well respected in the community. I trusted him and he delivered on everything that I asked for in the settlement. My biggest concern was my son and he pushed to have child custody agreed upon/implemented first before financials to limit the bargaining power my now ex-husband would have. Brian knew my case and the type of man I was divorcing and strategically played my ex-husband and cut him off at every turn. When my divorce was final even by ex-husband had to admit how great of a job Brian did. Thank you Brian for getting me through one of the toughest times in my life. I couldn't have done it without your support and the empowerment you gave me throughout the process. I highly recommend Brian Nigohosian!!

Brian Nigohosian has been my divorce attorney for nearly 8 years. He is definitely a no-nonsense attorney, who has worked tirelessly for me and my children. Brian is straight-forward and tenacious, and he was successful in ensuring that my children and I were protected during my divorce. Sadly, my ex and I have gone back to court a couple of times throughout the last 8 years, and every time, Brian is successful in achieving what is best for my family, both financially and with my parenting agreement.
If you're reading this review, then you know how emotionally exhausting this process can be. Brian never failed to make me feel that he was in control, and he encouraged me to allow him to do what he does best--WIN, and achieve results.
I highly recommend Brian, and strongly disagree with the aforementioned reviews that suggest that he favors males or that he thinks less of women. He works for his client, regardless of gender (I have a very close male friend who used Brian to achieve a superb outcome, as well).
if you need a great lawyer--you just found one.

Mr. Nigohosian came to the rescue when my last attorney was failing me. I was loosing everything due to a vindictive ex-wife. A huge thank you to Mr. Nigohosian for flying in with his cape, his vast knowledge of the law, his professionalism, his understanding and his wisdom. I feel confident knowing he is on my side and ready to defend me. He's been there for me several times now and I've come out on top. He's helped me move on with my life in a very positive direction.
