Law Office of Brian R. Mason

Brian delivered everything that was discussed in our first meeting. He was very easy to work with, responsive and patient. I would definitely use Brian’s legal services again!

Brian was an amazing attorney. Only had to meet with him once to get the ball rolling on my case. It was wrapped up in no time & that was a great relief for me.
His office is in a great & easily accessible location. He’s very professional & responds to emails in a timely matter. He explained everything to me up front & there were no surprises. I felt very comfortable using Brian to handle my needs.
I’d most definitely recommend him & would use him again. His fees were on the lower end compared to others I checked into also.
You won’t be sorry.

I wish I could give 10 stars to this Mr. Mason and his team.
He handled my Bankruptcy case with the utmost professionalism and integrity.
I didn’t know what to expect and was very afraid. He responded quickly to my emails, never showing any frustration at my incessant questions. He advocated well for me. I couldn’t have gotten better representation for ANY sum of money.

Brian is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is genuinely kind and really cares about building a relationship. The impression that I got from him is that he really knows his stuff and operates from a high level of integrity.

Yes, Brian Mason is as good as it gets!
Brian is one of those honest attorneys and that’s why I chose him to help me. He tells the truth. He is 100% professional and at the same time, compassionate and understanding.
Brian has always gone the extra two miles to help resolve my issues and continues to be available for any instance when I need his advice.
I’ve recommended Brian to several of my friends and they all feel the same away as I do. Brian continues to find the best, fair solutions.
I trust Brian because of his honesty and because his clients well being always comes first with him.

We got very *very lucky* finding Brian. I was so embarrassed last year when my husband and I realized we had no choice but to declare bankruptcy, and intensely anxious that the process would prove to be a horrible ordeal. Although still stressful, it turned out far better than I had hoped and I felt like we were able to keep our dignity through every step of the process. Our story: We made appointments with five different bankruptcy lawyers in the San Diego area, and Brian was the *only* one I trusted. The other lawyers used high pressure sales techniques to try to get us to sign papers on the spot. I was not prepared for that at all, and it left a really bad taste in my mouth (particularly since I had never really interacted professionally with lawyers, and my first encounters made me think, «Oh, no, the stereotype is real!») In addition, not one of the others we met with suggested we do a Chapter 13. This *is* understandable from a profit standpoint b/​c it takes at least 5 years for a Chapter 13 to conclude, meaning the case drags on, demands extra time from the lawyer involved, and final fees are not collected until the end; Chapter 7’s close out quickly, and the client is out the door. In other words – quick money and much less hassle for the lawyer involved. For some people, Chapter 7 *is* their best bet. Chapter 7, however, was not the right choice for us at all: We owed both back taxes (my husband was self-​employed in a crashing construction economy) and financial aid, and Chapter 7 would not have covered those in our circumstances. Brian carefully reviewed our obligations and thoroughly explained the outcomes of both a Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. In addition, he seemed to assume that we would go home and talk about things before we either hired him or came to a decision about what type of bankruptcy we would seek to file. He did not pressure us at all, though he did recommend Chapter 13, an assessment with which we agreed. Filing Chapter 13 meant we are paying the back taxes, plus our cars off, and it has put the financial aid payments on hold until the case is discharged. In other words, I feel like we have some self-​respect, paying off huge chunks of what we owe, but we are managing the debt, not being crushed by it. Brian was the *only* lawyer with whom we met who either recognized our special circumstances – he seemed to know immeasurably more about bankruptcy law than the other lawyers we saw, who seemed to know how to sell just one «package” – or was the only one who cared about what was best for us. On top of all of that, he treated us with quiet dignity, was responsive to my smallest question (and I had many!) and was very agreeable about working with us even though I made our case more difficult by accepting a job out of state right in the middle of hard-​to-​schedule court dates. That was a year ago, and we’ve since moved, but he continues to stay in touch with us and on top of our case. I couldn’t have found a better lawyer, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone contemplating bankruptcy. Again, I feel very lucky that we found him!

I recommend Brian Mason to anyone who may need law advice or representation of any kind because he has not only given me advice in many different situations, but has also helped me win a settlement I thought I had no hope of winning. He is a great person and an awesome lawyer who will definitely fight for your rights.
