Brian Sommers went above and beyond for my children. He provided excellent advice and guided me through every legal aspect of my custody case. I have used other attorneys in the past, but I will never recommend anyone other than Brian, and his staff. Thank you Mr. Sommers!!

I hired Brian Alan Sommers to represent me in a divorce case. He was honest and he works hard to represent you for the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Brian A. Sommers.

Brian represented me many years ago in a high conflict custody case. I went through my share of lawyers and was almost always disappointed. I got to a point I didnt know whom to trust. Brian is an exceptional lawyer. He was amazing. Sadly, I didnt win my case, but he worked so hard for me and he was so compassionate and understanding with me as I went through the toughest and lowest time in my life. Fortunatley, it is all behind me now. It's been years and I still think of him fondly. And remember how well he treated me during a time that SO many in the justice system treated me poorly and judged me unfairly. Due to all the stress and sadness I never stopped to take a second and thank him for all he did for me and how hard he tried. If you are facing a domestic issue such as custody and you are scared and unsure of whom to trust with your case please do yourself a favor and hire Brian. He is the real deal. He is what all lawyers should aspire to be. Thanks for your compassion and your patience Brian!

I hired Brian Sommers for a very difficult custody case. I'm not a fighter and typically give in for the sake of taking the path of least resistance when it comes to the ex. Brian assured me continuously that we had to fight and would win. The best interests of my daughter was at stake and had he not kept insisting we fight, I would have given in. Brian is a bulldog in the courtroom. If you want to see your opponent get ripped to shreds or watch them squirm under the intense heat from Brian (which is really tough to witness) then he is the counsel for you. He does not back down, barrels through the discomfort of others and really does fight for what is right. His thoroughness is evident and he stays late to get the job done. Many times I would get a call from him on the weekend asking for more details, preparing for trial etc. He's a machine! I gained full custody of my daughter after 9 years of shared parenting which is very difficult to terminate. If you want to win and have nerves of steel to watch him annihilate the opposing party, Brian is the attorney for you. I highly recommend him and will continue to send referrals his way.

From the first phone conversation I had to the court hearing(s) and beyond Brian was absolutely the best. The total case lasted over six months but he was always aware of what was going on. He provided sound advice and his knowledge and understanding of child support and the laws that regulate it is superior. If I ever find myself in need of lawyer in this area of practice I will not hesitate to hire Brian again.

Brian helped me gain custody of my children. He was very helpful in answering my questions and was always up to date with my case. We spent a lot of hours preparing for the case, which, at the end payed off.

Brian Sommers and his team are top notch. As a father and a military member, fighting for custody of my children, I was terrified of losing. Brian and his team went out of their way to ensure I had the best chance possible. With Brian’s help, we settled prior to the hearing and I gained custody of the kids. Thank you Brian!!

I went through a recent divorce and when the divorce was filed in April my original intention was to not hire a lawyer. I gave my x wife the opportunity to work with her lawyer and be fair. This did not happen and after multiple attempts and questions regarding calculations that I knew were not done correctly, I had to take action. Brian came highly recommended to me so I decided to hire him. Going through this process I realized immediately Brian cared about his clients. He walked me through each piece of the child support calculations and the separation agreements. When we requested changes he had me in the office during dictation so we were both on the same page. He took an uncomfortable situation and made me feel comfortable with the decision by using a fact based approach that provided justification for each calculation and line item in the separation agreement. No one is going to like every component of a divorce or feel they received a great deal, but given the divorce rules in Ohio, Brian made it as fair as possible. Chis Simmons, his paralegal, is phenomenal as well, she is prompt and was always responsive with any needs during the process. I highly recommend Brian if you are looking for a lawyer to work hard for what is fair and do things the right way.

After a year of being unemployed, and with no job openings in Dayton, I took a job in Houston TX. I believed that my wife would stay in Dayton long enough to sell the house and then she would move to Houston with me. What I got instead was divorce documents in the mail during the July 4th holiday weekend. We had been married for nearly 38 years. Because my family is more important than my job, I left Houston and returned to Ohio. While I had to take a pay cut to return, being with my children was more important. If it had not been for Brian Sommers, who guided me through the difficult and complex legal process of divorce, I would have been lost. His wise and discerning advice and counsel during those difficult months has help position me to move forward with my life. Through it all, the only debt that I will not be able to pay is my debt of gratitude to Brian, for a job well done. Thank you Brian !!!

If you need an attorney Mr Sommers is your man. He and his staff work hard for their clients, he was always there for us before hours and after hours. My family and I can't thank them enough for all their hard work.

Brian is extremely professional with a personal touch that is hard to find in this day. My divorce was brutal, but Brian never waivered. I would recommend Brian Sommers to anyone needing a first class divorce attorney.

As a single father I felt that there was no hope for me in the court system. Lets face it the odds are highly stacked against most fathers seeking custody. Brian gave no promises as well as no sugar coating. He listened to my case, reviewed my evidence and gave me his plan. Through the long journey he kept me informed and upbeat. Needless to say I have custody of my son and the truth shines through. I cant stress enough how happy I am with Brians approach to his craft. I highly recommend Brian to any hard working fathers who need a voice.
