In 2016, I was involved in a serious car accident. The insurance companies were over the top and it was hard to navigate through the process. I was hesitant to seek representation but a family friend who used Brian in the past for a car accident highly recommended him….I now know why! In first meeting Brian, I knew he was the attorney for me. He was patient, caring, easy to talk to and confident in his abilities. From that point on, Brian had proven himself consistently over the course of my claim with the insurance companies. I really appreciated his honesty in what to expect and what the risks were with any decision I made. By following his expertise, I was able to settle my claim for almost double what I had expected, which was almost five times the amount I was offered before coming to Brian. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone wanting to work with a true professional who really has his client’s best interest at heart.

My wife and I were hesitant to get a lawyer to help us with our medical issue. We believed the doctors office would take responsibility for their actions but that wasn't the case at all. From day one of meeting with Brian he took control of the case and everything went smoothly from that day on.

Coming into this experience I didn't know what to expect. Mr. Flahavan far exceeded my expectations. Dealing with a tough situation, he was able to communicate perfectly to me what I should be expecting out of the situation and actually was able to exceed that. Was very professional and organized and easily answered all my questions. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Top Notch Service!!!

Brian helped us navigate a very complicated new home construction real estate case.. Winning us a maximum settlement after we the close of escrow with our developer. During the litigation process he came up with numerous ways to get our demands across and eventually reaching a settlement much faster than anticipated and we're prepared for.. He's very responsive and always made time to take our calls and update us on progress and ongoing strategy. I would highly recommend Brian.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
