Stay away
Mr. Brannen helped me with my case initially and was ok at the time, and if you'd ask me back then my review would've been different. However, after yesterday's encounter, I would need to definately change that. The appointment was made over a week ago, yet they did not have my case file on site. ...
This person was a former client whose case I handled very successfully several years ago. She came back wanting me to do something improper, which I of course refused to do. Having been very satisfied with my representation years ago, she came back. Except this time she insisted I do something I would not do, hence her angry post. My ethics and morals are very high, and I maintain a strong standard to do what's right. In this situation, my integrity called me to decline handling a new matter. I regret that she chooses an open anonymous forum to try to defame me, but I know my decision not to represent her again was the proper thing to do. --Scott Brannen

Outstanding

I cannot recommend him enough. He and his staff were very kind during a time that was very stressful as parents of a college stu...

Great Lawyer!
Mr. Brannen represented me for a D.U.I.D. and I must say, he did an excellent job at getting it dropped with my only conviction being a "Failure to Maintain Lane". He definitely saved me from having that permanent DUI stain on my record which I will be forever grateful. He was not only the best price...
