"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.

"They were on top of my case from day one."

Brian and team were reassuring and certainly prepared to take my case! They were on top of my case from day one and followed through when some court-related documentation were not processed correctly. I would like to especially thank his paralegal Erin who was instrumental in keeping me informed and updating Brian when needed. Brian is honest and has years of experience with the Georgia court system. When I started this process he was just a name on a list at the end of this journey he will always be someone that I will always trust and provide a reference when needed.

"Brian was amazing to work with."

We were not prepared for the legal situation we found ourselves in with our daughter and wasn't really sure if we needed an attorney or not. But after a consultation with Brian, we knew we needed help. Brian was amazing to work with. He listened, answered all of our questions, phone calls, and emails with grace and always right away. He and Erin, his legal assistant, made a terrible situation, not so terrible. We knew we had someone on our side who was looking out for our child in a way no one else would. Brian is well connected in the legal community here in the Forsyth County and was able to offer insight as to how juvenile court operates that we would never have known. He kept in close contact in regards to our case and made sure we knew what to expect every step of the way. And I'm thrilled to report, got us to the best legal outcome we could have hoped for for our daughter. But Brian often spoke to us parent to parent...offering not just legal advice, but options and ideas for our child's future. He even called us a week after our court appearance to check on us and the whole family and to see how everyone was doing and if there was anything we needed help with. We are so grateful for his legal ability as well as his compassion and grace during what has been a very challenging time for our family. If you or your child is in need of help, do reach out to Brian. You will be so thankful that you did.

"Super responsive and great to work with"

Brian Hansford represented my 18-year-old son in a first offense reckless driving case. Brian was able to obtain a plea deal bringing the case from a 6-month suspension of his license and $1,000.00 fine to community service, a defensive driving course and a much-reduced fine of under $100.00. He and his assistant Erin were super responsive and great to work with. I hope never to need this type of legal help again, but if I do I would not hesitate to use Brian again to help.

"On point from the very beginning and kept me and my family in the loop"

I wanted to thank Mr. Hansford and his legal team for their professional help with my very major criminal case. He was on point from the very beginning and kept me and my family in the loop. Very experienced and firm attorney. I was never expecting the deal he got me from DA's office. He kept me out of jail and kept my record clean. Thank you, Mr, Hansford for changing my life around. I found an Angel in my life. He brought comfort and happiness back into our lives and into our heart. Whenever I called his office I always get answered. God bless you and thank you million times.

"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.

"Kept us informed every step of the way."

I was frantic trying to find an attorney, and me being out of state, it was proving to be difficult for the situation at hand. I reached out to the firm on a Sunday evening and received a response that night, as well as a follow-up the next day to confirm the details of the case. By the end of the week, and after speaking to multiple firms, I chose Mr. Hansford. Mr. Hansford, and his assistant Ms. Bell, were beyond helpful in our situation. They were very accessible and returned emails/calls ASAP. They kept us informed every step of the way and answered all questions in a thoughtful, and timely, manner. I highly recommend this firm for your legal issues. Best part is, we avoided even having to make a trip to GA thanks to Mr. Hansford and Ms. Bell.
