Client Feedback

“Justin Bryan proactively pursued a settlement for me based on his knowledge of an investment situation, and his thorough research on the defendant. This resulted in a very positive settlement for us. He is outstanding at what he does. He has been a great communicator on progress and fought hard for his plaintiffs based on some serious homework on the situation and laws. What I loved about his process is that not once did I feel like I was confused by legal jargon or process. He over-communicates in a manner I could understand, and earned and kept my trust quickly. If anyone is looking for a GREAT business lawyer, I highly recommend Justin Bryan.”

“I would recommend McCathern because of the quality of work, the quality and timeliness of communications, and the stamina of the lead and the outcome you all were able to accomplish. Justin Bryan was the lead and he was the real deal. All in, never frustrated by a group of variable intelligence, and provided great guidance to the group.”

“I always look for a legal team that looks for the best result possible for their client. This applies to Justin Bryan and his support team. They did exactly what I expected. They looked out of the client’s best interest and always kept me informed of progress, updates, etc.”

“Justin and his support staff have been excellent in communicating the dealings of [our] case and simplifying complex concepts with his clients. Secondly, he has always made himself available for questions and he has been very responsive whether it is through email or by phone.”
