Waste of money and time

He would ignore my phone calls for up to 3 weeks on MULTIPLE occasions. He is on TikTok and he would ignore me but continuously be uploading ridiculous TikToks. All he wanted to do when we got to mediation was settle for anything the other lawyer offered, he did not care for my children and what was ...best for them. I got charged for a subpoena of bank accounts and they actually LOST the information to view the bank account statements. Absolutely unprofessional and unreliable. I wasted so much time and over a year. I probably could've been divorced a lot faster with less expense. Going through a divorce as a single mom is one thing, but to also end up wasting money and a year of time made everything extremely tough. Do not waste your time.

A jumbled mess

He was awful and completely show his @$$ in court. I will spare the details, other than what I think was the funniest aspect of his train wreck of a presentation: During his cross-examination, it was revealed that this guy FORGOT HIS NOTEBOOK!!!! He had no notes and had no idea of the line of questi...oning that he had prepared (not that his notebook likely contained any profound material). He proceeded to attempt to enlist my help while I was on the stand as he fumbled through what little he was able to recall….all this, while I was on the stand, patiently waiting. Needless to say… if this man is representing you… run. He was a jumbled mess, with an ill-fitting suit… his garbled presentation was an embarrassment to him and his firm.

Can’t ever get the job done

This attorney was my x husbands representation! He delayed the settlement repeatedly because of his personal life, causing years to go by and increase in attorneys fees for his negligence. Now over a month after finalizing through the courts, he can’t seem to get the financial part of the settlement... finalized. Nor does secretary return emails.

Horrific experience

I initially retained Brandon because he seemed to be personable and aggressive. After the initial consultation, I received two calls from him for the duration of a year and one from his paralegal. Ive tried to contact him through the office, personal cellphone, text, and email. After three months of ...trying to contact him, I decided to send a message through the website portal to which he emails me back. It seems like the lack of communication has to do with his current employment doing TikTok videos at his office. This attorney failed to notify me of a hearing that was served to his office. I received a call from his paralegal telling me I had to be at a hearing in 6 days and that there was a previous hearing months ago which he knew about. 2 days prior to the this hearing, I receive an email with a notice to withdraw as my attorney. If you want to spend thousands on an attorney who fails to communicate and do absolutely nothing for your case other than send emails to the other attorney, then this is your guy!
