I hired Brian after interviewing and working with multiple attorneys over four years of legal battles. My situation is considerably nuanced, requiring someone with the right mix of experience, insight and grit. Brian accepted my case a bit late in the game, and even though he had little time, he and his team came through and got a good result, despite considerable antics from the opposing party. I liked that he evaluated my positions, motivations and past actions before he accepted my case. It made me believe that he would champion a cause, and not just make money for his firm. His actions were measured, scrupulous and consistent with my children's best interests, which is more than I can say for opposing counsel. His billing practices are, IMHO, rare in the industry, in that he doesn't take advantage of your desperate need of legal assistance to suck you dry.

I've had the opportunity to work with Brian over the last eight years. I am very grateful for the skillful way he has helped me through a number of difficult experiences. I originally met Brian in 2006 when I chose him to represent me during my divorce. Brian helped me negotiate everything and settle all of the financial and custodial arrangements out of court, which I really appreciated. Only several years later, after things (unfortunately) turned contentious, did I learn what an effective lawyer Brian is inside the courtroom as well. Brian is a levelheaded and even-tempered attorney. He stays calm even in highly-emotional situations, and never behaves in a mean or vindictive way. Brian has the respect of other attorneys and judges alike, and this goes along way toward establishing credibility and being able to come up with the right decision or solution. Brian has consistently given me good advice about not only legal strategy, but also how to handle problematic situations with my children and ex-wife. I can honestly say that I've never regretted following his advice. (In fact, had I followed Brian's advice on a decision I made four years ago, I could have saved myself a lot of grief and hassle.) One big thing that I underestimated initially was the value of a good litigator. It's hard to know how a lawyer will perform in court until you have had the chance to observe him in that setting. Having had Brian represent me in a number of hearings now—and prevailing every time—I can confidently say that he is one of the best in the courtroom. Going to court is always a stressful experience, but it is much less so when you have confidence in your lawyer. Brian maintains a calm, measured demeanor, and is consistently articulate and credible. His arguments are very effective and he always presents my position well. Above all, I appreciate what a genuinely good person Brian is. It is clear that he cares about me and my family, and his principal motivation seems to be to help us in the best way that he can. No lawyer is perfect, but Brian has those qualities that I consider to be most important. I value his experience, his wisdom, his excellent litigation skills, and his goodness and decency.

I wish I would have found him sooner, unfortunately my previous attorney had done such a bad job that no one could repair. I would highly recommend Mr. Hirsch. He showed a lot more knowledge and experience and was quite helpful. The damage that was done by my earlier attorney was just to costly and complicated to fix. I would most definitely hire him if in need in the future.
