Brenda T. Coppede

Brenda made a very difficult process as comfortable as possible. She was always professional and kind in every communication. She explained potential options clearly and in a timely manner. She was fair and I always felt as though she had my best interest in mind. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Custody suits are always tough, add to the mix that the person seeking custody is not a parent and it becomes even more tricky. Ms. Coppede was honest from the start, never promising anything but was reassuring about what could be expected. Her knowledge and understanding of NC law won our case. My niece and nephew can now lay their heads down at night without fear of what tomorrow may bring. When the other side tells you they can't stand your attorney, well you know you've got a great one. I would trust Brenda to help me with any legal issues I might have. Thank you, I can not express just how our family feels about what you have done for these children. May you find nothing but blessings in your future.

I hired Brenda last year based on her ratings on this website and a couple others. Searching for a lawyer is hard, even when you live in the same town as the case. I however live in California. I spoke to several law firms and read countless lawyer reviews before settling confidentiality with Ms. Coppede. Right from the start she was straight up with me. She didn't try to blind me with false hope nor say something and not follow through. Ms. Coppede was everything I had hoped she would be. She's on time, prepared, organized, level headed and I do not believe another lawyer could have produced the results she has. We won, she was excellent in trial, and it was obvious that nearly everyone we encountered in and around the courthouse has respect for her. Even the judge. Brenda Coppede is a great lawyer. You will be in good hands. Oh, and she has a great vocabulary.... Thank you again Brenda!

Brenda Coppede went way above and beyond to help our family. She was prompt, intelligent, and professional -- and also honest about the potential outcomes of our case. Her assistance was priceless to us and we will never forget it.

Brenda Coppede assisted me during a lengthy and contentious separation and divorce. She provided expert legal advice, exhibited very high standards of professionalism and offered wise counsel as we navigated numerous twists and turns over almost two years of negotiations. Brenda and her staff were also always available when new issues erupted. On one occasion she even came to my workplace and met with my co-workers and volunteers (on a weekend) after they were exposed to personal and private information related to my divorce. I fully recommend the services of Brenda and Siemens Family Law to anyone seeking professional, ethical and compassionate legal advice.

Ms. Coppede's work is professional; her suggestion to have a mediation was right on the mark. I am grateful to her for her positive outlook and professional demeanor.

Brenda by far exceeded all of my expectations. From the day we met she told me what to expect, what to do and NOT do, kept me informed and at ease. She is not just an attorney wanting a paycheck she really cares and does an amazing job in the court room. I will always recommend Ms. Coppede to my friends and family!

Brenda Coppede was the blessing I needed when going through my divorce and custody battle. She was always very upfront, honest, professional and responsive. Brenda was always be very honest and forthright in all aspects of the case. She gave a very realistic view filled with multiple options. I was never in the dark about what to expect and I always felt that I was in the best and most competent hands. I have recommended Brenda to many people since my case and they have all ended very well in her capable hands.

Brenda helped my son and I with a new parenting agreement. She was very professional and pleasant to deal with. Everything that took place did so exactly when and how Ms. Coppede said it would. My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with Brenda's services. Without a doubt we will continue using Ms. Coppede in the future if in need and will advise others and friends to do the same.

I found Brenda by searching through the Yellow Pages. Being new to the area and not knowing anybody, I had no one to give me a lead on a attorney. I guess it was here profile that first made me contact her. At first I was some what apprehensive , her being so young. That option changed at the first meeting. (I was in good hands). She was there for me mentally as well as looking over my best interest. It took a year to get my divorce, and I got to know her pretty well. Thank You Brenda!!

It has taken me a little while to post my review because I have not been able to find the words to express how amazing Brenda really is. I had a terrible custody case that stretched from North Carolina to Tennessee and has been going on for years. A great friend of mine had used Brenda for her divorce and suggested her highly. As soon as I met her I knew she was the one to help. She is so kind and comforting. I used a different attorney several years ago in this same issue and never once did I ever feel secure or confident walking into court. Many times I would not even get a call until the morning of court. When I realized I was going back into court, I knew I couldn't do it with someone who didn't work harder to make me feel strong going into court. Brenda did that and much more. She even met with us on her day off just to make my daughter, who had never been on the stand feel more confident in front of a judge. I honestly do not think I would have survived this one without her. I highly suggest Brenda for anyone who really needs a great lawyer who cares about the person as well as the case. She is absolutely amazing!

Words will never express our gratitude to this fine lady. Throughout our entire case, she is by far the most professional, compassionate and informative lawyer my husband and I have ever encountered. We initiated a custody case in January of 2010 and had hired six previous lawyers in states of NC and GA (including a guardian ad litem) to represent us in a most highly complicated custody and abuse issue. After spending countless thousands of dollars to no avail and much hardship to our entire family for over four years, we were blessed to have Brenda Coppede enter our lives. We were recommended by another lawyer in the NC community to Siemens Law Group when we had almost lost all hope and we can honestly say that if it were not for this firm, we would still fighting for custody today. Siemens Law Group is highly recommended to the utmost. There is much knowledge and expertise in focusing on the client and having the strong desire of ensuring that justice is served. Every lawyer that we had hired, each and everyone said that it could not be done due to a highly complicated case. One of the biggest issues was being grandparents, since it is known that not many grandparents are granted custody of their grandchildren. On top of this, emergency ex partes are not often given in the state of NC. However, Brenda made everything happen, giving us a sense of security, hope, and her kind words of support to lessen our highly stressful situation. Brenda was on the same page as us and knew exactly what steps needed to be taken, and always thought out the procedure way ahead of time to ensure that a positive result would occur. She was extremely trustworthy, and was always on our side never making us hesitant in that we had made the wrong decision in hiring her........she always listened with attentiveness and compassion and would respond quickly whenever there were deep concerns or upcoming issues. She is extremely honest, has great expertise and dedication and strongly believes in what she stands for. We are honored to have had her in our lives. If it were not for Brenda, these two children's lives would have not been saved and it would have been total devastation to our family. This was not just an ordinary custody issue as to which party gets the children from a regular divorce;this is an issue of severe corporal punishment and exposure to pornography. She took all of the appropriate steps and procedures in gathering the important witnesses to support the case. She did everything with such responsibility and grace and we will never forget her for what she has done. She is highly intelligent, dedicated, professional in every sense of the word and is an ICON of what a lawyer should represent. We love you Brenda........everything that has been said is straight from the heart.....
