I was fortunate to retain Brian to represent me in my divorce case. He was aggressive in court and fought hard for me to protect my relationship with my daughters. This was a bitter and nasty fight but he was more than up to the task. In the end I felt like I won the war.
In my opinion he is a great lawyer and very compassionate, I would recommend to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer.

If you need a great family lawyer I recommend the freeman law center without hesitation. My life was a complete shambles because of the divorce I had to go through I didn’t know that i could feel so bad. The efforts that I received from Brian was outstanding and I can’t put in words how much I appreciated the way I was treated by his staff.
Their slogan “Quality and Commitment” was not just words it was action.

Question:
How do I modify my divorce agreement?Answer:
Parties often ask me – either during the divorce process or after they’ve been divorced – “Can we modify the terms of a divorce judgment or property settlement agreement?” Generally, the answer is no. If it is possible, it’s very difficult, and you would have to show extenuating circumstances. For example, I had a client who had agreed to pay a specific amount of alimony. Later, that client became ill with multiple sclerosis which, obviously, made it impossible for him to earn the same amount of income that he had earned at the time the agreement was entered into. A court can change some of the provisions of a property settlement agreement or judgment of divorce, however, when exceptional circumstances such as the inability to pay – which can require a high standard to show – actually do exist.
