In 2022, Brian was named a Leader in Law Honoree by The Daily Record and the Maryland State Bar Association. In 2020, Brian was selected as “Trial Lawyer of the Year” by the MAJ. The MAJ Trial Lawyer of the Year Award is bestowed annually upon the Maryland trial lawyer or team of trial lawyers who made the greatest contribution to the public interest by trying or settling a case of precedential value – precedential either because it changed the law in a way that is beneficial to Marylanders or has, for other reasons, “sent a message” to those who might otherwise trample upon the rights of Maryland citizens. Brian has been named as a Super Lawyer, and he has been selected as a member of both the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and of the prestigious Litigation Counsel of America. In 2024, Brian was named an "Icon" by the Daily Record. The Icon Honors awards recognize Maryland leaders over the age of 60 for their notable success and demonstration of strong leadership both within and outside of their chosen field.

Brian has appeared on the "Great Trial Podcast" on two occasions. This podcast offers conversations with leading trial lawyers, taking listeners "behind the scenes" of America’s greatest trials.

Outside of his legal work, Brian has served as the President of the Board for the Maryland Disability Law Center (now known as Disability Rights Maryland), and has volunteered with other civic organizations, including with the Upton School Foundation and with Higher Achievement.
