Steven Martin
I had the pleasure of working with Brian Hanafin during a complex corporate restructuring for my family’s business. His deep expertise in corporate law, especially given his recognition by Best Lawyers, was immediately apparent. Brian’s strategic insights and meticulous attention to detail were invaluable in navigating regulatory hurdles and negotiating terms. He communicated complex legal concepts clearly, ensuring I felt confident in every decision. That said, while his counsel was outstanding, I did notice that response times to emails could sometimes be slower than expected, particularly during high-demand periods. Cost-wise, while reasonable, it would’ve been helpful to have a clearer breakdown of billing increments upfront. Despite these minor points, Brian’s professionalism and results-driven approach left me thoroughly satisfied. I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing top-tier corporate legal guidance.

I hired Brian Hanafin for a corporate law matter, specifically a contract dispute, and he handled the case with a solid understanding of the legal nuances involved. His expertise in corporate law, recognized by Best Lawyers, was evident in his approach, and he efficiently navigated the complexities of my case. However, communication was occasionally delayed, and I often had to follow up to get updates. While the outcome was favorable, the process could have been smoother with more proactive communication. Brian's legal skills are undeniable, but his responsiveness left something to be desired. For straightforward corporate matters, he's a competent choice, but clients should manage expectations regarding timely updates.
