Effective and Authentic. Truly in a class of his own.
Let me preface this review by first saying, before meeting Brandon, I hated divorce attorneys. I really wanted to avoid getting a lawyer as much as I possibly could. I viewed them as grimey snakes ready to capitalize on the pain of families being torn apart and after interviewing several of them, it ...was confirmed that my preconceived notions of them, were indeed true. Snakes.
UNTIL, I met Brandon. When going through a custody battle/divorce, at least for me, I felt at my worst... vulnerable, uncertain about the future, in my case there was serious safety issues regarding my children and when choosing my attorney I knew their lives could be at stake if it didn't go how I needed it to. I really wanted and prayed to find someone who authentically cared that real life children were at stake here- not just names on a piece of paper.
Brandon had a gentleness and a patience about him that made me feel comfortable enough to share with him all the ugly, scary, humiliating, embarrassing, details of what we were going through. He also spent an extensive amount of time in the days leading up to our court date making sure I was prepared and knew what to expect.
Although, he was gentle and patient with me before out court date- in the court room he had another side of him- when it came time to protect his client and make sure I was heard. He was sharp and tough without being disrespectful or condescending to our opposer. I truly felt protected, heard, seen. Best of all- we won the case and I immediately got sole legal custody of my children.
One of the things though that stuck with me the most about him is, when we were leaving the courtroom after winning, he made a comment about how it should be a celebratory moment, but there was a sadness to it because of my ex husbands addiction issues... and when he said that, I just thought he was a really authentic, human being with a truly good heart. On one hand "yes we won!! my kids are finally safe!" and on the other.. you see the truth about what drugs do to people and families and you can't help but have a little pang in your heart about the whole thing.
He truly is an authentic human being ( not a snake, haha)
So, to recap why you should hire him immediately: Incredibly smart, detail oriented, gentle, and incredibly patient, but also thorough, tough, and incredibly sharp in the court room. I can't recommend him enough and will forever remember him and be grateful for what he did for me and my family. The only thing I would have done differently, was hire him from day one when I knew I was getting a divorce.
