Experience

Brian has assisted clients in obtaining receiverships over commercial properties on an expedited and emergency basis on several occasions, including situations where existing property management had abandoned the property.

"I helped my client to quickly appoint a receiver over a student housing project subject to a $12 million dollar mortgage loan after the property manager abruptly abandoned the property."
