Brian has secured significant resolutions for his clients through trials, arbitrations, mediations, and settlements. Brian’s clients have reviewed his work as restoring their faith in attorneys:

“Attorney Brian Lawson is honorable, intelligent, and he conducts his cases with the highest level of integrity. I was fortunate to have Brian walk alongside me during the most horrific time of my life. Throughout the case Brian worked meticulously at gathering every bit of information. Brian had endless patience explaining the process and keeping me well informed. The work Brian did greatly impacted my life. That impact continues to resonate in my life and the lives of my family. There are not adequate words to express my gratitude.” – Sue
