Ghosted

Brian is a competent attorney, when you can get a hold of him. Left me in the lurch after promising to take my case. Huge disappointment.

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 neg...ative reviews on Google echo this experience.

Polite, professional and responsive!

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 handles Landlord Tenant actions.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
