I am an attorney who formerly practiced criminal defense, though not in Georgia. When my younger brother faced a very serious federal criminal case in the Atlanta Federal Courts, I urged him to seek strong recommendations before retaining counsel. As an attorney, I know well that billboards and advertisements rarely reflect true trial skill. Brian Mendelsohn came highly recommended by people who recognize the kind of trial attorney they would want fighting for them.

I attended the trial to offer support and, if asked, any input. From the moment I observed the legal team my brother assembled, I was immediately put at ease. Brian communicated with my brother consistently and thoughtfully—often sending emails late at night or early in the morning. He demonstrated a thorough understanding of the case and a clear plan of attack for each element of the charges. He arrived prepared with relevant case law and exhibited exceptional competence and confidence when addressing the court and interacting with the prosecution’s team of three lawyers, a dedicated paralegal, and an investigator.

Mr. Mendelsohn handled jury selection with skill and precision, ultimately empaneling a jury we believed would fairly and impartially consider the case. His cross examinations were strategically crafted, carefully weakening the prosecution’s theories with each question.

When the trial concluded, we achieved an excellent outcome due in large part to Mr. Mendelsohn’s efforts. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of top tier criminal defense in the complex and high stakes federal system. I am deeply grateful that my brother chose him to lead his defense.

If you’re reading lawyer ads right now, you’re probably stressed and worried about what comes next. I’m a complete stranger, which means I have no stake in your situation—only my honest perspective. From that objective position, I can say that Brian and his firm were the best choice I could have made. Once Brian was by my side, I felt like I finally had a real advocate and a genuine chance. In court, I was impressed by how calm, firm, and clear he was—and by his thorough command of the law. Most importantly, we prevailed where I genuinely doubt that outcome would have been possible with a less skilled or less committed attorney. If you’re deciding who to trust with your defense, I recommend speaking with Brian and his team without hesitation.

He is extremely knowledgeable in all Court proceedings and it was apparent that he is highly respected and well known in the Federal Court System. In addition to his legal skills, Brian is also the most responsive, compassionate and kindest attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I am so grateful that we were referred to him.

Two years ago our son-in-law called us -- out of the blue -- to say he'd been arrested on Federal charges. We had no experience with this sort of thing and no idea of what was to come. We thank God for sending us Brian Mendelsohn to lead the way.

We met Brian for the first time just prior to the bond hearing. His calm demeanor and obvious empathy quickly eased our minds. Brian explained the charges and gave us an initial idea of how the case might proceed. During the hearing Brian overcame strong objections from the prosecution and got our son-in-law released on bond, which was just the first of various rulings in our favor that Brian won. During the next 18 months, through to the last days of this case, we have got to know and admire Brian as a person and an attorney. No one could have done a better job.

We now know that a Federal case is more than just legal documents and Court appearances. It is like having a serious weight hanging over your head 24/7 for its duration. If you are facing this, you want to make certain you have a lawyer you can completely trust to be your best, strongest possible advocate. In other words, you want Brian Mendelsohn.

Brian sees past the legal charges to see the person deserving the best, most aggressive representation, from beginning to end. Brian is extremely experienced. He's knowledgeable about the law and how the legal system works. He is personally accessible by phone and email and kept us fully informed of all developments. He brought in important resources and assistance for our case. He met with us many times, by phone and in person, to ensure all of our questions were answered and our concerns were addressed. Whenever he gave advice he clearly explained his reasoning as well as the pros and cons of any and all legal/procedural decisions. We were never kept in the dark, nor were we kept waiting for information. Brian's work equipped our son-in-law with the knowledge he needed to make the best decisions for himself and to enable the best outcome.

We noticed during our case, in and around the Courtroom, that Brian is well-liked and respected by colleagues, judges, and other Court personnel, which we believe further enhances his already stellar effectiveness as an advocate. Brian fought our son-in-law's case intelligently, ethically, tirelessly, and on many fronts, and he achieved what is certainly the best possible result for our son-in-law. We will always be thankful for Brian's exceptional legal results and for his professional and personal presence in our lives at such a confusing and scary time.

Five Stars are simply not enough, but that is the highest number Google allows. To sum up this review: call Brian Mendelsohn. He is the best.
