Your future


Legal issues can be complex. To make matters worse, the idea of spending multiple years trying to navigate the litigation process is a heavy burden to bear. Whether you're dealing with a divorce, a business issue, a landlord-tenant dispute, or anything else, it's important to reach out for help. As a certified mediator and family lawyer, I strive to lessen the burden. By handling the legal aspects of your case with efficiency and empathy, I allow you to focus on what really matters in your life.
I've always been a numbers guy. Graduating with my B.S. in Mathematics from Villanova University and earning my LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida led me to work as a CPA in a small accounting office. I never thought I'd be a lawyer. But after my own personal encounter with sub-par family law and mediation services, I knew I could make a difference. My depth and breadth of life experience—from my Navy career as a member of a patrol squadron, to my post as Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina, to my work as a court-appointed mediator in Pinellas County—has allowed me to find great satisfaction in listening to the stories of others and helping them seek fair resolutions.

As a Certified Public Accountant and Florida Bar Board Certified Tax Attorney, I've honed my ability to think quantitatively. When you need help drafting documents with accuracy, precision, and an eye for numerical detail, I can help.

If you have a choice of mediators, I recommend Brian Gilroy without hesitation! He's a very nice man, and an extraordinary mediator to boot.
Very much enjoyed this gentleman. He helped us through every step. He was early for the appointment, and got the job done in no time. I hope I never have to use a mediator again but if I do, I’m looking him up. You’re lucky to catch this guy.
