Client Review:
Lesson learned. I should have read the reviews online from Martindale, Avvo and others before I hired this attorney. I hired her in regards to a support order modification as my ex wife's income had increased. I found that the McCune Law Firm did not return calls. Sometimes I waited 7 - 10 days before I got a phone call. This is unacceptable to me and in my professional world I do not engage with vendors who operate with sloppy practices. I felt tied to have to work with her as she charged me a retainer in advance. I also caught typos on paperwork that her staff completed and I ws charged when I asked them to correct their errors. I did not think that was fair and I think there is no accountability with this firm. There seems to be a level of entitlement by this attorney and that she is immune from mistakes. She tried to blame me for the error which I thought was incredibly unprofessional. I cannot recommend this attorney and will not use her for future work should I need to revisit my orders again.

This is my own opinion any nothing more. I would stear clear from this attorney. Overcharged, sloppy work on my case, late for almost every meeting and court date. Comes across on first meeting then downhill from there.

Client Review:
I had a bad experience with the attorney. There was a lack of organization and attention to details on my case. Her responsiveness was really poor with phone calls unanswered for weeks. She showed no commitment toward settling the case, looking for leverage opportunity areas and did not take action on my requests. This was a frustrating and painful experience. I fired her.

Read the other reivews and take heed. She doesn't return phone calls. Her staff is disempowered to do anything without her. Disorganized and doesn't remember the details of your case. She will not work to settle and will use your retainer as it suits her. I do not recommend her. Don't believe it when they tell you she is well connected with the judges, it is just to get your money. Better attorneys out there and I fired her and got a good one who handled my case quickly.

Client Review:
She does not return phone calls unless you threaten to fire her. We won a judgement but she did not file the judgement. Repeatedly asked her to file the bifurcation documents which all parties had signed and she would not. Sloppy documents with incorrect information. Missing documents at trial. She likes to litigate and not negotiate. Likes to take your money and not get the work done.
I would recommend in a heartbeat.Posted by: a Family client, 2009-07-20 over 2 years ago. Flag
Client Review:
Brenda did an excellent job handling my family law case. She was able
to effectively point out mistakes that my previous lawyer had made in the case and strived to have them successfully corrected and changed. My ex hired a well known Los Angeles law firm to handle her case. The attorney handling the case thought she owned the court room and was a real b****. Her approach was to try and bully me, the judge, and Brenda. Well, neither of these worked. In a nutshell, Brenda beat her up with facts and knowledge and the Judge also didn't buy into any of her redundant, regurgitation of facts not relevant to the case. Brenda held her own against this beast and didn't back down in any way, shape, or form. I was very impressed and proud of Brenda. I would certainly recommend Brenda to anyone needing an honest, reliable, knowledgeable attorney who will fight for what is right. Although my case is currently off calendar, I have a feeling it will be on calendar again soon, and Brenda will be my #1 choice for representation. For now, I'm only hoping that Brenda will willingly accept the invitation to represent me in the near future. |
