Brent Tanner

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.

If you genuinely fear for your children’s safety, and you feel like the deck is stacked against you when it comes to your future involvement in the lives of your children; Mr. Tanner is equipped with the experience and expertise to do legal combat on your behalf. He is a legitimate heavyweight in fam...ily law. He can level the field for you. As a subject matter expert, Mr. Tanner has a clear grasp on all aspects of how military service impacts family law. He immediately began to aggressively defend me at a critical junction in my case. It is impressive and humbling to work with people at the top of their field, and that was my experience when working with Mr. Tanner. I had his mobile number and he was very responsive. Because, of the interest and personal attention this man and his Paralegal, Mrs. Caling took in my case, my child now safely lives with me against great odds, and I can make most of the decisions necessary to keep her safe . He listens more than he speaks and presented me with options that I previously did not know were available. He was also able to preserve my military pension and shut down the opposing party’s alimony claim as a bonus win. You get what you pay for. He is a value buy at his current rate. If you have a case that doesn’t fit nicely into a templated pre-made order and could potentially go to trial, don't blow your opportunity. If your kids are in a dangerous situation or a bad environment, you can't put a price on that. It's worth more than everything you've got.

I hired Mr. Tanner to represent me in a series of civil actions against my former spouse. He was recommended to me as being well-versed in the law and as an excellent legal counselor. Mr. Tanner proved to be both. He is excellent about communicating with his clients, and it was usually within 24 h...ours (or less) that I would get a response from him or his paralegal, Felicity "Fizzy" Little. He's great about working to establish reasonable goals and tailoring a legal strategy to meet them. He's honest and forthcoming with his recommendations, which is greatly appreciated. In court, he's calm, confident and articulate. Having sat in on a hearing, I was extremely impressed with the legal research he had done and allowing us to present a strong, compelling legal argument for our case. In short, he makes for an extremely charismatic and effective litigator. I couldn't have asked for a better strategy, and ultimately, a better outcome than the one achieved in this case. Thank you, Mr. Tanner, for being the epitomizing zealous legal representation and getting me the outcome I'd hoped for from the start. On a side note, Mr. Tanner has one of the finest paralegals I have ever encountered. Fizzy is more effective as a paralegal than many attorneys. She harbors an intense devotion to her clients and works tirelessley on their behalf. Most of all, she get results, even in the most difficult of situations and with the most difficult to work with opposing counsels. I can't speak highly enough of Fizzy and was damn fortunate she was on my side for this case!
