Unexpected !!

Had used Brad in 2022 for my DUI so I was definitely using him again. This incident was two traffic tickets and a criminal offense for driving without the breathalyzer in the car. Brad went over to the other attorney and worked his magic. I left there with three dismissed charges and only paying ab...out $42 for court costs. Brad should be your guy !!

Avoid this lawyer

If given the opportunity I would hire a different lawyer. His communication skills are atrocious. He expects his clients to know the law, and give him all information without being asked. He purposely delays sending necessary documents to the court, and when asked about it there is no answer. Do not ...expect your case to be a priority, unless you are pestering him. He provides absolutely no guidance on how you can help your case along. I had a divorce case that, according to his paralegal, should have finished in Nov/Dec 2020. It didn't conclude until mid March 2021 due to inaction on his part. And if you call him out on this behavior he turns it around on you and makes it your fault. All he wants is your money and then forget seeing or talking to him unless you have court. If I could I would get a refund and stay far far away from him if possible. You would be better off representing yourself. Hope you have a better experience than me if you hire him.

A GREAT result in traffic court

Brad went above and beyond to help me with a recent speeding ticket. I would recommend working with him to anyone who wants a good result in court!

Excellent, knowledgeable, and affable lawyer

I hired Brad Thompson to handle a divorce started 20 years ago. He was very savvy and was able to use the papers from earlier to complete my case swiftly and quite reasonably as well. Brad answered questions promptly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to hire him ...again.

Hired for my divorce

Brad is a good lawyer, he handled my case well even though there was a lot of going back and forth with the ex. He helped me to reach a suitable outcome and I highly recommend his services.

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.
