Insufficient Evidence: If the prosecution's evidence is weak or circumstantial, we will work to create reasonable doubt in the jurors' minds.

"I attribute the success to the outstanding service provided by Mr. Hansford"
After engaging Mr. Hansford in a legal matter, the professionalism, accessibility, service, reliability, and kind support demonstrated by Mr. Hansford and his team was so impressive I have referred Mr. Hansford to friends and colleagues. My legal matter resulted in a favorable outcome and I attribute that success to the outstanding service provided by Mr. Hansford.

"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.

"If ratings could go to a 10, He would be an 11."
Brian Hansford will go above and beyond like no other in any matter regarding navigation of the Legal system. He is relentless in his pursuit to help on any level. NO OTHER ATTORNEY can accomplish what Brian can do when it comes to being a professional and a positive influence in the courtroom. I have personally witnessed the respect that everyone gives him when he walks into court. Judges, Clerks, DA's, other Attorneys respect him like no other because he is a man of Character and Integrity, and trust this message when you read it, it matters! If you are on AVVO searching for legal help, stop reading ratings and call and hire Brian right now. If ratings could go to a 10, He would be an 11.
- Side note, his assistant Erin is a "one of a kind" herself. You will always get a prompt response and she as well has the utmost respect by any and all officials that you may encounter. First Class all the way around and you always feel better after talking to her.
10 Stars for Brian and Erin- back afloat.

"They provided good, solid advice to my family."
I cannot say enough about the service that Brian and his team member Erin provided. He was recommended to us by a friend who had hired him for their son. They provided good, solid advice to my family when my son received a fairly severe driving citation. The punishment that the state was suggesting was pretty brutal for the offense. We told Brian what we would like for the outcome to be and he worked hard to negotiate with the state to get the best possible outcome for us while still giving our son adequate punishment to hopefully make sure a lesson was learned. Brian was very professional from our first consultation all the way through to the sentencing. Erin was very good about keeping us informed and responded promptly to email anytime we had a question. Would not hesitate using his services in the future. Hopefully that won't be necessary.

"Brian helped my daughter out more than I ever expected!"
Brian is the Best!! His knowledge & experience made all the difference. Erin, his paralegal, is awesome as well! They are both very attentive & quick to answer emails & phone calls. Brian helped my daughter out more than I ever expected! I'd recommend them to anyone!! Thank you, Sir!

- Previous Client
"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
"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.

"They even got back to me on weekends."
Brian and Erin are amazing! They are caring and always there for you. I bombarded them with questions and they had an answer for me every time. Even got back to me on weekends, which I never expected. If I have another need I will use them and their office again.
