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.
Brian was very knowledgeable in his area of expertise. He was professional and maintained a line of communication throughout my case. I appreciated his attitude and approach. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that will work hard for you
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.
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.
I read the letter and I have to say I have a “legal” crush on you, that was awesome!
