    "An amazing and knowledgeable attorney."
    Brian has helped me and my family with several cases. Not only is he an amazing and knowledgeable attorney, he also truly cares about his clients. I can't thank Brian enough and, if the need arises, I would not hesitate to call on him again.

    "Brian and Erin were so patient and encouraging"
    From the first phone call to the last e-mail, Brian and his Paralegal, Erin, promptly responded to and answered all of our questions, guiding us through both the legal and emotional aspects of our case. Even though our situation was repeatedly complicated, Brian and Erin were so patient and encouraging that we felt more like friends of the firm instead of paying clients. Not something I could say about other attorneys we've dealt with. It was a difficult situation and required some tough decisions that Brian was able to help us make through informed discussions. He was honest and forthcoming about both the pros and cons involved and is in my opinion, personally compassionate about what he does and about the future of his clients. We really feel like we've gotten the best outcome we could have under the circumstances and would definitely recommend his services and hire him again, if we ever had the need.

    "Mr. Hansford is a valuable asset to have on your side"

    Mr. Brian Hansford was hired to represent my 20-year-old son with a felony drug charge and misdemeanor charges of shoplifting and underage possession of alcohol. This particular case was more difficult due to the fact my son was having emotional issues that led him to act out in anger that was getting him in trouble with our family and law enforcement. Our family was becoming a battle zone, with no end in sight. Mr. Hansford’s approach was to help the whole family through a troubling time from a legal stand point as well as an emotional one. Brian first directed us to counselors that helped us understand the deeper issues that were triggering my son to lash out. That process alone gave the whole family direction and hope again for the future. We could see immediate results in my son’s behavior. In addition, Mr. Hansford negotiated sentences that were directed more at rehabilitating my son and not ruining his future. Mr. Hansford is a valuable asset to have on your side. I will continue to recommend him to anyone needing a good knowledgeable lawyer and particularly to families that are also struggling with teenagers in the home.

    "I enjoyed working with him and Erin"
    Brian and Erin were great from the outset. I initiated with them on a Sunday, got a call the same day and was in the office to chat the next day. Based on my discussion with Brian I hired him to represent me in a case involving multiple charges stemming from an incident on the road. Brian navigated me through the legal process making sure I was aware of my options. I enjoyed working with him and Erin to the end of my case.

    "He will fight to make sure you are given a fair shake"

    My son, who is now 16 years old, faced some serious charges. We expected the worst. This case involved felony charges, and the prosecutor was being tough. She did not want to work with us to settle, but Brian and his team worked a miracle in our favor. Brian is persistent, strategic, and resourceful. He thinks outside of the box on how to resolve difficult issues. We were impressed with his diligence. Brian is always calm under pressure. He did not waiver or give up or settle for less. He will fight to make sure you are given a fair shake. We were beyond pleased with the result. Brian and his team deserve all the credit for making sure my son will be able to go on with his life without these charges holding him back. I also have to mention Erin Bell, who was there every step of the way. She was a huge help to us on so many occasions. Erin was always patient when we were going through frustrations or roadblocks. I appreciate all Brian and Erin did for us. I highly recommend you give them a call!!
