Just awful

Bleed our custody case out for months. Took thousands and thousands. Did not fight for us. I think we actually would have done better representing ourselves. Do no hire this man if you are a father fighting for custody.

Brandon is the real deal!

He is a no nonsense type of lawyer. He is aggressive in getting his client what they deserve. Excellent office staff that stays informed. I have utilized his firm twice and would not think to go elsewhere. Thank you PZ

Look no further, hire Brandon!

Anyone who's been engulfed in a child custody litigation scenario knows and understands the emotional struggles that come along with it. Not only did I experience this, but my situation went on all the way through the Court of Appeals. I found myself in front of multiple judges in multiple cour...t rooms facing everything from contempt of court charges to jail time. Sitting next to Brandon during these hearings/trials gave me the ability to gut through them. I would not have handled these hearings very well otherwise. I say this because Brandon knows the law. He knows it backwards, forward and upside down and it's apparent that the judges know and respect this. Brandon will not coddle you. He has a tough exterior, but inside the courtroom his tough turns to unstoppable. He will use the law, every single letter of it, to right the wrongs. His firm is fantastic. Everyone from the paralegals to the administrative staff. They'll treat you like family and are sensitive to the stress that comes along with feeling like you're unable to protect your child. I HIGHLY recommend Brandon.

Posted by Jesse | December 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Absolutely Thrilled With Mr. Zeigler

There is nothing that I can say that would do the representation I received from Mr. Zeigler and his firm justice. He was diligent in advising me of my rights and what steps I needed to take from the moment my former wife and I separated. And when I say from the moment, I mean that he took my call on... no notice within 30 minutes of me leaving my marital residence and made sure that I did everything necessary to set myself up for success in my matter. From that point forward Mr. Zeigler made sure that the separation and divorce process was as smooth as it could be and also ensured that it disrupted my already stressful life as little as possible. Mr. Zeigler and the rest of the team at P&Z have my utmost respect and deepest gratitude for the outstanding representation and support I received from him and his firm. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

Very satisfied

My ex-wife made false accusations and stole large amounts of money when filing for divorce. Brandon used his resources to discredit all accusations and in the end recovered the stolen money. In the end I was very satisfied.
