Posted by anonymous | June 26, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Divorce

Brandon is a personable and intelligent attorney. I hired him to be my divorce lawyer. It was a difficult and contentious divorce. Even though I personally like Brandon I cannot recommend him if you have a high net worth and are receiving military and civil service benefits. Brandon had many clients... which adversely impacted his availability to work on my complicated case. Brandon was unable to negotiate an in-house separation agreement, which cost me money in home expenses and left me exposed to shenanigans from my wife and her attorney. He also did not seek a legal remedy for the inequitable payment of home expenses. Consequently, as a retiree I carried the full financial load for maintaining the house. Brandon was unable to bring the opposition to the negotiation table. I had to email my spouse with an offer. In November 2022 we finally reached a settlement. I suspect that Brandon was unavailable during a portion of November, which delayed sending the divorce documents to the court and pushed the divorce into 2023. That delay cost me thousands of dollars in additional Federal and state income taxes. Even though Brandon was unable to bring the opposition to the negotiating table he advocated using an expensive meditator.

After consulting with Brandon on a custody case I immediately hired him. He is very knowledgable, offering honest advice and opinions, which I appreciated. He worked hard for me for over a year, with multiple court dates, responded to me with questions or concerns quickly and ultimately we won our ca...se. He exceeded my expectations and I am forever grateful. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a family lawyer. The BEST. 10 stars

very professional

Brandon represented us in a custody situation with our granddaughter. Through the whole process he knew what should be done. We won and things went very easy due to his professionalism and knowledge. We would highly recommend him!

My experience

Mr. Waltrip represents me on both my custody case and traffic case. He is knowledgable on handling both. I have a very complicated custody case and Mr. Waltrip handled it in an excellent way. I see that he is a Christian that serves the Lord. He handled my case with a Godly love and manner. I als...o see that he has wisdom from God, and God bless the works in his hand. His willingness to do things right and just, makes him an outstanding lawyer! He will do things the right way, God's way, not my way. I don't always appreciate that in the beginning, but I always find out that he is right in the end.

Posted by Celeste | May 15, 2012 | DUI & DWI

Best representation I have ever had.

I recently had a violation on a DUI incident and hired Mr. Waltrip. He was VERY professional, courteous, and knowledgable. He went over the best to worst case scenario which had involved incarceration and fought to have that lifted ending in the lesser of consequences. I was very pleased with my resu...lts and would recommend him to anyone needing any sort of legal representation.
