Brendan Daniel Harold

I hired Brendan to help me during a scary time with a domestic situation. I was very intimidated by the whole legal system and afraid no one would believe my side. I had a less than satisfactory experience with another less-expensive attorney, whom I realized was costing me more in the long run by ...wasting my time. Brendan was recommended to me by someone who used his services before. A little higher priced than I had hoped for, but as they say, you get what you pay for. It was a complicated case, as the person I was trying to get protection from had been filing false retaliatory cases against me and there was a long history of evidence and events. Brendan off the bat was very direct, organized with what information, evidence he wanted from me, and it kind of forced me to get myself organized, which was difficult because it triggered a lot of trauma and anxiety trying to recall events. It was a bit of a learning curve for me understanding what was pertinent to the case, so when I was going off the rails, he very directly got me back on track so that I'm not wasting valuable lawyer fees on things that won't help my case. That being said, I may have not been the easiest client to deal with but he remained professional and empathetic . Most importantly, when he is in the court room, you get the feeling that he is "about business" which made me feel I was in good hands. We won the protective order. Subsequently, when the other party side filed an appeal and retaliatory protective order against me, we won again.

Working with Brendan Harold was a wonderful experience. I have no history with this kind of thing, so I was completely overwhelmed and out of my depth before he agreed to assist me. He made the process so simple and easy, and consistently gave me advice and reassurance in what will probably be the mo...st uncertain year of my life. He was always kind, honest and willing to explain the legal process in a way that was never condescending and always extremely helpful. He really went to bat for me when it felt like no one else would, and for that I will always be extremely grateful.

Brendan was excellent. Very responsive and made sure I understood what was going on and what my options were. We had three court dates and then a fourth for an appeal. He helped me so I did not get an interlock put on my car. I have heard nightmare stories from other people with them and it was the ...best money I ever spent on a lawyer. He knew the judges and prosecutors which was critical for my case.
