Brent Tanner

I was in a high asset divorce where I, was the plaintiff. Mr. Tanner gave me very poor advice to have the defense make their argument first. I didn't understand but went with it. By doing so I was put totally on the defense, loosing all initiative and not being able to layout my complaint at all. Dur...ing the course of the trial he didn't submit a single objection and I felt totally alone defending myself without much representation or advocacy. Additionally, the little cross examination he conducted seemed very unprepared even though I provided a considerable amount of detailed evidence supporting my position nearly a year in advance. In the end I lost nearly 80% of my assets and was strapped with significant alimony in addition to his extremely high fee. For high priced lawyer he puts out a very, very poor product/effort. I do not recommend Mr. Tanner

Brent Tanner is a terrible parent coordinator! I state these facts from personal experience. I would stay clear of any involvement with Brent Tanner. He is very unprofessional and disrespectful. If I could sue a PC I would definitely go after him for malpractice and negligence for what he put my fami...ly and most of all my daughter through. There isn’t a decent parent who would put their kids through what Brent Tanner put my daughter through. He got my daughter involved in unnecessary immature drama over a silly Apple Watch and phone. All because her mother wanted control at my house. He didn’t have a legitimate excuse for his directive. Brent ran behind my back like the coward he is and had a zoom call with my daughter, without my consent, while at her mothers house, knowing she would be influenced by her mom. Within two months after Brent got my daughter involved she had to quadruple her dose of Prozac. I have the medication timetable to prove it. He put my daughters mental health at risk. When I brought this to his attention he ignored it and keep pressing with his ridiculous directives. He allowed my 10 year old daughter to make her own decision regarding the Apple Watch and phone at my house against my rules that had already been in place for nine months, during which time there were no issues at all. This caused extensive drama between my daughter and I which eventually turned my daughter against me. Brent taught my daughter that she didn’t have to follow rules at my house anymore. Only an unqualified parent would do such a thing. My daughter stopped bringing the watch to my house completely for eight months. During this time Brent filed a complaint with the court trying to hold me in contempt of court for not allowing my daughter to use the watch at my house that she no longer brought to my house. Makes zero sense! Brent absolutely without a doubt lied on the stand under oath. As a result, I eventually lost temporary custody of my daughter for five months over an Apple Watch. I swear you can’t make this stuff up. I’ve been a single dad for 10 years and honestly lost custody of my daughter over an Apple Watch. Brent Tanner told me to my face the first time I met him, that “if he were in my shoes he would probably be in jail” for all the boundaries that my daughters stepdad had crossed with her over the years. He can’t deny it because I have it recorded. Brent stood on the stand under oath and defended the stepdad. He can’t be trusted! When I needed Brent Tanner for a legitimate issue, he ignored me. My ex wife violated the custody track out order. I sent Brent an email regarding this issue. Brent ignored the email, never responded , but charged me $25 to read it. I would like to see Brent’s firm try to justify this review. I have all the facts on paper to prove everything in this review is the truth.

Mr. Tanner represented me during my divorce. I worked closely with him and his team to develop a fair and very thorough separation agreement. He always answered any questions I had and replied in a clear, concise and timely manner. He was patient when walking me through the entire difficult process.... I trusted him and his expertise implicitly and would highly recommend him to anyone.

As a Reserve Service Member on Active Duty, upon returning from my last military deployment, it was to an empty house. I came to know my kids were taken to a different residence. I hadn’t realized my marriage was this distressed and unsalvageable. Hence, my search began for representation by a Fam...ily/Divorce Firm. I met with many different attorneys in the Triangle area before finding Mr. Tanner. He was actually referred by a lawyer from another firm, knowing him to be a subject matter expert with representing Military Members and divorce. I knew upon my first meeting with Gene “Brent” Tanner that I was meeting with the best. His professionalism and knowledge of Family Law and Military aspects were clear. In short, the mediation to establish 50/50 custody worked well to my favor as it could be. When my ex-wife remarried, 6 months after the divorce, and moved out of town, we went to court. Again, his knowledge of the law and court procedures were proven and I was granted primary custody of my children. In general, it’s unusual for the Father to get primary custody. I’m very pleased with Brent and his team. I have recommended him to Military colleges and Civilian fiends. I usually don’t write reviews for anything but, felt his quality of counsel is deserving of my first review.
