    "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.

    "Outstanding and efficient job."
    Brian and his staff did an outstanding and efficient job in negotiating a fair outcome to my legal issues. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone seeking competent representation in legal matters.
    - James
    "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.
    - Justin
    "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.

    "Works for your best interest and gets results"

    I have used Brian for several cases throughout my life. Brian and his staff are always available to answer your questions and keep you in the loop regarding your case. Well respected by judges and prosecutors. Whatever your situation he will work hard for you and always be honest. You might not like what you hear but Brian will not promise you something he cannot deliver on. What he will do is work for your best interest and he gets results. I have been in some scary situations and Brian has achieved results that both astonished and impressed me. I would not even think of using anyone else when it comes to my freedom and goodwill. Highly recommended!

    - David
    "Well worth the time and money."

    We hired Mr. Hansford to assist us with a juvenile traffic citation. He met with us and shared the pros and cons of the incident. Mr. Hansford met with the Judge on our behalf, we were able to accept a plan from the court and continue with our lives. We could have faced the Judge without an attorney but thought it was best to have Mr. Hansford represent my teenager. He is well worth the time and money.

    - Previous Client
    "Immediate, thorough, thoughtful and very professional representation"
    We were in need of finding an attorney from out of state. Our good fortune was to find Brian Allen Hansford to represent our grandson. We received immediate, thorough, thoughtful and very professional representation. We were not left in the blind for one moment throughout the process. Everything was thoroughly explained, followed up on in a very timely manner with a personal touch. His staff is superior.
    - Kathleen
    "Excellent, caring representation and a good result."

    I met Brian Hansford shortly after having been arrested based on a personal recommendation from a friend. From the first moment, Brian did everything he could to assist -- both with Legal advice and practical issues such as helping find arrangements for my family to provide bail.

    The legal representation during my felony case was excellent. The fees were straight-forward and as expected. Brian worked hard both in and out of the courtroom (such as working hard to win over prosecutors) and we received a favorable plea deal. Within a few months, I was able to start putting my life back together. In the years since (including just a few weeks ago), I have voluntarily gone back to court twice to clear related issues. Both times I retained Brian and am pleased with the results.

    I also retained Brian's firm for a civil matter a few years ago. Again, excellent, caring representation and a good result.
