Peter demonstrated a reasonable approach to the practice of law and had earned a great reputation for honesty and trustworthiness. “Pete did not play games.” Mr. Proly’s ability to see the forest and the trees, as well as spot the issues quickly and cut to the chase was the type of attorney practice that attracted Brian to join the firm, located in Port Richey, Florida, in 2001.

Brian confirms that he enjoys the practice of Criminal Law. Dealing with people, prosecutors, judges and clients brings enjoyment to every day. Mr. Mulligan sees himself as a problem solver and works in the best interest of each client. “When I meet with a client, their situation comes alive and my work with them is very personal.”
