What Brian's Clients are Saying about Him

"I have never known a lawyer to win more trials than Brian Karalus. If I had not personally confirmed (I am a lawyer myself) his percentage (roughly 97%) I would never have believed it. Any lawyer who wins 75% is elite and there are probably only a few in the state that can do even that. To win almost everyone he ever tried is simply an inimitable gift. I know who'd I hire if I ever got accused."

- Stephen G. 7/2018

"Brian Karalus cares deeply about his clients and getting great results on his cases. He takes the time to develop a relationship with his clients to understand the issues in their cases, their lives and what is important to them. He is dedicated to treating his clients with respect and getting excellent results. He is an experienced trial attorney with proven results, including an acquittal on a 1st degree murder case. He has courtroom demeanor and reputation that commands respect from prosecutors and judges."

- Lindsay S. 6/2018

"Mr. Karalus is extremely responsive and fast acting. His no BS approach and straight to the point communication makes it easy to understand the process and keep expectations in check. He is hands down one of the best. He is also very upfront about cost. Highly recommend!"

- Kara K. 4/2018
