This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Calm and professional !

We were desperate, facing bankruptcy 5000 miles from home. But the calm professional guidance of the Branson Law Team gave us the best advice, always at hand to answer difficult questions, ultimately seeing us through the darkest times. We will be eternally grateful

Branson Law PLLC

First, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to you for making the decision to take our case literally the last minute. When I received your message that you would, indeed, take my case I felt relieved, as you are known as one of the top lawyers in this field of law. From da...y one, I knew that we had a chance at winning this thing, and fortunately for us, this proved to be true. We realize that this was not the easiest case to win, and that you were required to spend long hours preparing for one of the most difficult business challenges we’ve had to personally overcome. It is for this that we thank you. You treated us just as well, if not better, than your more prestigious clients. In fact, I was not prepared for the kindness and consideration I received from you and your great staff. It was not all “business” with you, it was something more personal. This made me feel secure in you handling our case. We saw the light of day and won by all standards. Jeff was absolutely “Awesome”, I would take him into any battle without hesitation! Your dedication, your attention to detail and diligence made this all possible. Thanks to your expertise and prowess, our case not only You and your staff believed in me and my situation, and did not leave my side, but remained steadfast through it all, even when it did not look promising. Thank you for not only being my lawyer, but also my friend through this. Tyrone and Adriene Nabbie

Don't give up, call Bob Branson.

Without question Attorney Branson is the absolute best. He and his staff we saved our home and got the big bank to modify our mortgage. We now have a 2% mortgage! Attorney Branson takes the time to get to know you and your circumstances and then sets you up to win. If you think your situation is i...mpossible don't throw in the towel until you've called Branson Law.

  • 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.
