Posted by Andy | July 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

An Attorney that Cares

Unfortunately over the past four years, I have hired and/or consulted with a handful of attorneys regarding child custody. Until I hired Andrew, I had not met with an attorney that I thought truly cared about me, my well-being, my relationship with my son, or my case in general. In most cases I felt ...they were "clocking in and out" just for the paycheck. Andrew was a breathe of fresh air as he made it very apparent that he was constantly thinking about my case. He would text me frequently, sometimes in the evening, with new ideas or approaches. It was clear that he was brainstorming and actively thinking about my case. He is also very sharp and knows the law. During a previous trial, I did have an attorney that "dropped the ball" by not knowing the law, which lead to me losing the case. Andrew is also very honest and transparent. He does what is "right", ethically/morally speaking. I know there are some attorneys out there that twist and spin the law and truth in order to get their expected outcome. Andrew has great integrity and will also ask that of you as his client. He has many positive qualities that you do not see in most attorneys, but hope for. My case is now currently resolved, but if I should ever need an attorney, I will contact Andrew.

Great job in a difficult case

Mr. Andrew Brendle and Mrs. Katlyn Sally did a great job for me in a very difficult case. I had a very bad experience with my two previous attorneys. I just wish I retained him first. He gave me the facts and I believe he is honest and trustworthy. He was very knowledgeable of the law and was co...nstantly keeping me up to date. I would highly recommend their firm.

Great Family Attorney - Would always recommend first - CC

Mr. Brendle was a great find. I had already met with three other attorneys when I found him, and I wish I could have started there. I had an extremely complicated case, and he navigated through the entire process with cautious confidence, knowledge, and experience. He always listened, and did not ...make knee jerk reactions. He always thought through the entire process to ensure the decision we were making was the right decision to make, and always made sure I understood the implications of those decisions. My case lasted over three years, and Mr. Brendle represented me for a big portion of that. In the end, I was absolutely satisfied with his service, experience, professionalism, responsiveness, and back bone. I have already recommended him on a few occasions, and will always do so. I could not be happier with the level of service I received from him. My case involved equitable distribution, child custody, separation/divorce, alimony, and child support. He got me through it and I was extremely satisfied. Case Closed! CC

Excellent, responsive, knowledgeable - would recommend

I hired Mr. Brendle for a civil matter. I was the defendant in a case which was quite complicated. Mr. Brendle did an excellent job explaining the legal complexities of the case to me and also was not afraid to say he didn't know and then researched for the correct answer. He kept me informed of the... progress of my case and was always responsive to my calls. My case ended in dismissal before it ever went to trial. I'm convinced that had a hired another attorney they would have stretched it out to just bleed me of more money. I'm honestly not a big fan of lawyers but Mr. Brendle did an excellent job on my case. I have and will continue to refer family and friends to him.
