Legal Experience That Stands Out
Brian’s experience includes white-collar and corporate internal investigations, multi-district litigation, RICO actions, Fair Labor Standards Act litigation, constitutional issues, injunctions, insurance coverage, healthcare litigation, and cases involving employment law, restrictive covenants and non-compete issues.

Prior to joining the firm in 2016, Brian was a principal in his own law firm, practicing commercial litigation and conducting corporate investigations.
Brian served as Philadelphia’s Deputy District Attorney from 2010 through 2012, conducting numerous wiretap investigations into international narcotic trafficking, money laundering, and gun violence/trafficking. Early in his career, he served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office’s trial and appellate divisions prosecuting gang violence, homicides, and narcotic trafficking.

He is a board member of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation (MCLEF-Phila), a youth sports coach, a member of the Notre Dame Club of Philadelphia, a member of the La Salle College High School Leadership Council, and a representative on Philadelphia’s Youth Aid Panel Program.
