I've been trying to get rid of my timeshare for years, and after failed attempts with another firm, I decided to research online about finding a new firm. Mr. Pedergraft came up in my online search so I contacted him. Both he and his office staff were incredibly responsive and professional. In the end, he was unable to help me with my problem, BUT instead of the "sorry, good luck" response, I had gotten so many times before he referred me to someone he knew could help me AND connected us directly. Such personal service. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. I will definitely look him up in the future for any legal needs I have. Thanks, Mr. Pendergraft!
Mr. Pendergraft hired me to stand in for him in a District Court hearing. The data and arguments he preppared for me to execute were absolutely perfect everything I needed to successfully handle the matter on his firm's behalf was right where I needed it. He is very courteous, punctual, and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone with the need of his services without hesitation!

A Breath of Fresh Air!!
I wasn't sure if I was going to need legal representation but I did have several questions and needed legal advice. I was seeking a firm that offered either a free or partial hour consultation fee and left numerous messages with other firms. I left a message for Atty. Pendergraft and was pleasantly surprised to not only receive a call back, but he very willingly listened, answered my questions, and provided his expert opinion on what my next course of action should be if I chose to take any. I certainly was left with a great first impression and would not hesitate to recommend or contact Atty. Pendergraft in the future.

Wonderful experience.
I was seeking information about estate planning and mortgage transfer now that my mother is much older. I wanted to make sure that I'm taking care of my sister, who has been my mother's care giver for many years. I called Brian Pendergraft because his office is near my mom's home; I immediately got through to talk to him personally. Despite my worries, his professional and thoughtful advice put me at ease. I highly recommend him for his knowledge, his advice and most of all his care for his community.

Brian is a SOLID attorney!
Recently, I hired Brian Pendergraft for a case. Despite it’s a small case, he didn’t take it lightly. Throughout the process, he was thorough, diligent and prepared for all contingencies. He was genuine and motivated to help. No sales pitch; No over-promise and under-delivery; No BS. If you need a professional, competent and trustworthy attorney, you should seriously consider having Brian Pendergraft in your corner. He truly cares!

Excellent Choice
Brian was excellent as we started up our real estate business. Our impression of the other law firms we encountered were that they cared much more about closing the deal than teaching us the facts, and in one case they wanted to charge us – literally – twice the amount that Brian did.
We found Brian to be a welcome change. He answered our questions thoroughly, quickly, and even gave us a free publication that he authored which clearly outlines steps landlords should take in order to make legal and wise business decisions. I highly recommend him, particularly if you wish to support someone who is young, enthusiastic, hard-working, and very committed to the success of his business. Also, it's worth noting that he regularly appears in court, which is invaluable when it comes to staying current in real estate matters.
We will continue to hire him for any legal matters in the future.

Excellent representation in holdover case
I leased a property and ran into the difficult situation of a holdover tenant. Brian very competently walked me through the process of regaining possession of the property through the courts. His instructions were clear, he was prepared and he was always easy to reach by phone or email. While I was unhappy to have to hire a lawyer in the first place, I was very glad I had Brian on my side once I did make the decision to go down that route.

KNOWLEDGEABLE, DILIGENT, AND FRIENDLY
I was dealing with a landlord situation where they were trying to force me into a lease because they fell short and behind on doing the paperwork. He immediately,willingly and kindly interjected for me on my behalf and proceeded to speak with the landlord and explain to them that it was not ethical or allowed to force a tenant into a lease and backdate it. I won all because of him having my back. I love how personable he is and how he just genuinely care for how you are doing. Highly recommended.

Landlord/Tenant dispute resolution
My husband and I contacted Brian Pendergraft, of the Pendergraft law firm, regarding a possible landlord/tenant dispute resolution. He made himself available to meet with us just hours after our initial contact with him. Mr. Pendergraft was very prompt, professional and deliberate with all of his actions. Thanks to Mr. Pendergraft and his intervention, he was able to successfully convince our landlord that an amicable agreement between us and our landlord will be beneficial to all parties involved. We highly recommend the Pendergraph law firm for any landlord/tenant disputes.

Poor Communication
What was initially a great experience, ended with a complete ghosting from Brian. I tried to contact him multiple times but he simply ignored me. What made it more uncomfortable was that it was mid-conversation. I would not recommend anything beyond an initial consultation from this lawyer, their negative reviews on Google echo this experience.
