GREAT JOB BRAD!!

I was involved in a serious auto accident in April 2018. Car totaled, broken and bruised.... I needed help and didn't have a clue where to begin! Unable to drive, Brad came and met with me. He was compassionate & caring about what I was going through. I don't know where I would be now without ...his help. He handled everything and kept me informed. I would highly recommend Brad and his team! You do feel like family when you step into their office. Thank you for taking care of me! You were a God send!

Highly recommended

Back in fall of 2017 I was in a car accident and was seriously injured and needed an attorney desperately. I met with a few before I ended up hiring Brad to handle my case. Brad was absolutely phenomenal throughout my entire case. I felt comfortable and at peace knowing that he was looking out for my... best interest while also leaving me with the final say in whatever big decisions had to be made. I was not familiar with most of the legal issues that were being dealt with but Brad was so helpful in keeping me updated and explaining in depth was something meant and how it would affect me. If anyone I loved or cared about was in an accident and needed representation I would not hesitate to recommend Brad and I would without a doubt use him again for myself.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
