Don't Take Our Word For It

At Brian Hansford Law, your satisfaction is our priority! See for yourself what our clients have to say about working with us.

    "Beyond competent, knowledgeable and worth 10x his fee"
    Atty Hansford was hired to defend my son who was facing serious felony drug charges and extradition back to another state for previous probation charges. Atty Hansford and his staff were readily available for anything and were always in constant contact with us. My son was looking at serving time in a state prison for a few years and facing the same in another state. My son was absolutely guilty for the charges he faced. Instead of going to prison, Atty Hansford was able to get him in a 1-year drug treatment program and probation. I would highly recommend Atty Hansford for representation in any legal defense you needed. He is beyond competent, knowledgeable and worth 10X his fee. His staff always went above and beyond to contact us and answer any questions we had. We can't thank them enough for representing my son.

    "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.

    "I always felt like I knew exactly where my case stood."
    I sought Brian's help for a DUI charge. Even though I was a first offender with no prior arrests, I faced some serious charges due to the circumstances of my offense. Brian counseled me on the steps to take before my court appearance in order to make my case as strong as possible. He was also able to get my most serious charge dismissed, which enabled me to obtain a limited driving permit for work, child's transportation to school, etc. Brian's office also provided information that allowed me to complete much of my sentence before my plea, including DUI school, substance abuse assessment, and all of my community service. The sentence resulting from my plea agreement was the best I could have hoped for, given the circumstances. Brian and his assistant Erin Bell kept me updated throughout the progress of my case and responded quickly to all of my questions. I always felt like I knew exactly where my case stood, and what to expect next. Since my arrest, I have spoken with others charged with DUI who have been amazed by the assistance I received from my attorney. Many told me that they had trouble contacting their attorneys, or scheduling appointments, and some received harsher sentences. I feel extremely fortunate to have had Brian and Erin on my side throughout this process. Brian's services may be more expensive than that of some others, but he is definitely worth it. I greatly appreciate his help during this difficult time.

    "Forever grateful for his help and success in our legal issues"

    Brian handled several cases in the past few years. I had two children who suffer from addiction which landed them in some legal trouble. Brian was sensitive to the fact that this was heartbreaking to a mother and father, as well as informative and very professional. He kept us updated and very educated. I will be forever grateful for his help and success in our legal issues. I will always use Brian for any future legal concerns that may occur.

    "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.

    "Intelligent, dedicated, and wise."
    Brian Hansford has represented several of my immediate family members over the past five years, multiple times. He is intelligent, dedicated, and wise. Brian has always been very thorough and fully committed to bringing about the best outcome possible in each of these cases. So much so that I don't even consider another criminal defense attorney for my family's needs. He explains your options very carefully and gives you his assessment of how each scenario is likely to play out. Brian is also a judge for a local municipality which gives him another perspective when considering strategies for a case. His legal assistant Erin is absolutely top-notch and keeps communications flowing smoothly between all of the parties involved. She is truly a valuable asset to his operations and I cannot overemphasize her importance. I truly could not be more pleased with both Brian and Erin. I enthusiastically give Brian an A+ for his efforts and for his solid results. Brian is not a discount-priced attorney, but he is also not unreasonable with his rates. I am happy to pay him because I know what I am getting. This attorney is a solid choice! I thank him for all he has done for my family!

    "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.
