Brian is rated “AV” by the respected, nationwide Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory.
The ratings are developed by obtaining confidential opinions from lawyer adversaries and judges before whom the lawyer has appeared. An “A” ability rating is the “very high to preeminent” category, the highest rating possible. It signifies that the lawyer has reached the highest levels of skill and integrity. The “V” rating is the highest for adherence to ethical standards, reliability and diligence.
Brian was appointed by the Minnesota Supreme Court for service from 1990 to 1998 on the Minnesota Judicial Selection Commission, which was responsible for interviewing and assessing lawyer candidates for judgeships, and making recommendations on appointment. From 1996-99, Brian was a member of the Minnesota Eighth Judicial District Ethics Committee, which investigated ethics charges against lawyers.
