Collaborative Family Law

Hired Attorney

As both a client and attorney (one who does not specialize in family law), I highly recommend Brian Urban as collaborative divorce counsel. With Brian's expert guidance, I was able to drive my own collaborative process in terms of the timing of the process and pursuing my priorities in the divorce, negotiate agreements with my ex spouse that best suited our respective needs and the needs of our children, and preserve communication with my ex spouse about our children. Brian is an excellent communicator who responded promptly and with a great deal of consideration to my every question. I appreciate that Brian's fees are reasonable, and that he worked efficiently and effectively to control costs of the collaborative process. In addition, Brian's integrity is second to none. He exhibited honesty and professionalism at every stage of my collaborative process. I would recommend Brian without reservation to anyone who elects to pursue a collaborative divorce.

I have been proud to have Brian Urban as my lawyer during this “collaborative divorce” process. Brian Urban helped us reach a win-win resolution to our divorce avoiding painful and damaging litigation. Our divorce was complicated because it involved several companies that we own. Brian’s knowledge and experience in Divorce Law was instrumental in keeping the process moving forward in a timely, cost effective manner. I can tell you HE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST AT WHAT HE DOES!

Brian was magnificent in guiding me through a long, difficult and complex divorce. He is professional, brilliant, responsive, kind, compassionate and diligent. He's the consummate gentleman who holds himself to the highest ethical standards. He worked well with opposing counsel, and made sure I understood every step of the process. His steady calm was exceptionally reassuring to me. His staff is extraordinary as well. I highly recommend Brian.

It's so rare in today's society that you experience excellence in service. Not so with Brian Urban. Brian was responsive, attentive, and extremely personable. I could contact Brian anytime of the week or day and he would get back with me almost immediately. A collaborative process is still a very emotional time. Brian offered guidance, was empathetic and looked out for my needs!

Brian and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and responsive. He was always prepared and made certain I was prepared as well. Brian's calm manner kept meetings from getting heated and emotional. A year after my divorce was finalized, and my former spouse and I are amicable and the kids are thriving, largely due to our use of the collaborative process.

I hired Brian as my attorney for my divorce. We chose to use his collaborative practice to minimize long term destruction that often happens during the divorce process. Brian was wonderful in all aspects of his practice and in the collaboration. He was compassionate and refined, yet knowledgable and competent. I highly recommend Brian for anyone who wishes to transition through the process of divorce in a healthy way.
