What clients say
“I am thrilled to recommend Brian as a lawyer for any fintech startup. As an early stage company building money movement/banking products for homeowners, we needed a fintech generalist to help us navigate bank partner negotiations/agreements and fintech regulatory requirements. Brian seamlessly integrated into our team, grasping full context of our business, our legal needs, and our trade-off preferences quickly. Working with Brian was a breeze since we were able to easily collaborate over email, Google Docs, and phone/Zoom. Super sharp, great sense of humor (sometimes you need it!), clear communication skills, easy to reach. I would work with Brian again in a heartbeat!”

“I am thrilled to provide a glowing testimonial for Brian and HeyCounsel for their exceptional legal services. As the founder of a global fashion brand with online and in-store presence, we were in dire need of expert legal counsel to help us with our privacy policies and provide general advice. Brian promptly responded to our request for assistance and demonstrated his expertise by sourcing an attorney through HeyCounsel. What truly set Brian apart was his professionalism, attention to detail, and thoughtful approach to our legal needs. He took the time to understand our industry and connect us with industry experts who provided invaluable solutions. Brian's thoroughness and ability to find the best possible legal support for our company was truly impressive. Thanks to Brian and HeyCounsel, we now have the peace of mind knowing that our legal obligations are being met. I cannot recommend Brian and HeyCounsel enough for their outstanding legal services and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with someone as knowledgeable and dedicated as Brian.”
