This lawyer is no good

He is late turning paperwork in on time, he keeps the judge waiting for 45min. He takes your money and does nothing in return, claims to be a cristian, ha ha. I had to rate hime so it would be posted but he is not worth 1 star.

Do Not Use This Lawyer

Did not return calls timely, still have not received copy of paperwork or final billing. I believe he refuses to present paperwork or a bill of time because he was working against me trying to make a quick dime. He still owes me, so I will file a complaint with the Bar for further resolution. Don't u...se him, based on my experience he will not put your interest before his own.

Must have me confused with someone else. I don't recognize the name and if he has a specific grievance, he certainly knows where to find me. Not even a disgruntled client. More like a troll.

Honest and trustsworthy advisor.

I found Mr. Bradford to be a straightforward , honest and caring advisor. A rarity in this field. He was reasonable to deal with and didn't overcharge.
