Outstanding and Gifted Attorney

It is hard to put into words what a wonderful attorney Brenda Coppede is. She has been my attorney since 2014, and has been a guardian angel to me and my family. Her knowledge of legal matters is advanced, her kindness and skill in communicating are always apparent, her poise and stature in the court...room is powerful, her written work is of the highest standard in excellence, and her ability to critically synthesize information is exceptional. She takes the time to really be there, explaining the important points and has helped me to understand how the legal system works. I owe her, and my family owes her a deep debt of gratitude for the service and commitment of this truly fine attorney and person.

Couldn’t be happier

Brenda was the best teammate I could’ve hope for in handling a very challenging legal matter. She was efficient, effective and an all around pleasure to work with. She engaged in my problem as if it were her own and delivered an amazing result. I could not be more pleased.

A Ray of Hope

I had a very difficult emotionally and complicated divorce. My Ex was in the wrong, and turned out to be a narcissist. She tried to sink me, my reputation, and my business that I worked incredibly hard for. Despite my life falling apart and becoming self-destructive in the loss of hope I was feeling,... Brenda went above and beyond to help me, consult me, comfort me, and was the strong voice that pushed me to persevere. She became a ray of hope and a friend throughout the long process and court proceedings. Brenda is an incredibly bright, strong, professional and forceful woman and lawyer who is also compassionate and down to earth. She helped me win duel custody of my son, my business, and gave me my life back. Three years later, my business has grown dramatically, my son is doing amazing, I have been given back my reputation, and I am very happy and finally at peace. I am forever in debt to Brenda, and grateful to have found such a wonderful person at a time when I truly needed it.

A beacon in the storm

Brenda is an excellent lawyer and person; I highly recommend her. From my first meeting to the last time we spoke I found Brenda to be an empathetic consistent highly capable skilled proffesional. Brenda has the knowledge, experience, talent to handle the most challenging cases. My custody case migh...t have been one of her best challenges to date , I don't know, regardless, Brenda won. I have never felt more compelled to right a review for anything or anyone. This is my first review ever. Brenda, great job, hopefully I have proven myself a better witness for you this time around. I rest my case.

Knowledgeable, kind, and to the point

I hired Brenda after reading her reviews and being underwhelmed with my previous lawyer. She helped navigate with firm kindness the rollercoaster that is my ex. She helped make a high stress situation and a highly manipulative ex much more manageable. We were able to get a signed parenting agreeme...nt that was in the best interest of me and my daughter without ever going to court. She had a firm grasp on the law, and a no nonsense approach. Always respectful and very responsive. I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone.
