Not a good attorney or moral compass

He represented my ex. Said he’d write up the new orders. It’s now been 90 days plus and Mr griffen has been to vacation and back to court but can’t seem to do a simple write up of a modification. Him being in trouble with the board is no surprise. He encourages dead beat parents

Fantastic Attorney !!

Hi, Attourny Griffin was outstanding help. Brad has many years of experience and is a fighter and will help you. Brad fully understood my situation regarding my sons complex visitation agreement. We worked together formulated a solid plan that was helpful for all participants involved, the iss...ue was resolved in a seamless manner. This saved time and money and most importantly worked out best for my son.

Unprofessional

I saw Mr Griffin and paid $250 for a one hour consultation. I thought he would be good for me but I guess he decided otherwise. I called 3 times to set up another appointment and he never returned my call. It's very unprofessional to not call and tell me he doesn't want to work with me. It makes me w...onder how good a lawyer he is in a courtroom if he's afraid of confrontation.

Family Court Matter

I hired Mr Griffin for a Family Court Matter and he was Great, Listened to what I wanted, explained to me everything in details what could or couldn't happen, If I called him and he wasn't available within 24 hours he was calling me back, I recommended him to a family member and in both of our cases ...he was Wonderful, I would definitely recommend him to anyone

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in DC, 2008

updated on 07/19/2016

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in District of Columbia Bar.

Censured issued in NY, 2007

updated on 04/08/2016

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
