Review Michael Leslie Broadus

Lead to the loss of my children

1.0 star

Posted by Jeremy

In 2014, Mr. Broadus represented me in a Family Law Case. I met him at a networking group and because I didn't have much money, he seemed like a great choice. Well, as they say, "you get what you pay for". The Judge in the case wrote an Illegal Order, that Mr. Broadus did not catch. After the illegal clause written by the Judge was triggered, allowing my Ex-wife to flee the state with my 5 daughters, the "30 days" had passed, meaning the ruling could not be contested. I am just now, 5 years later, able to muster the resources to sue Mr. Broadus for Malpractice. I would DEFINITELY steer clear of Mr. Broadus. He is very nice and personable, but unless you want to lose your case, your children and endure years of depression because of his incompetence, I would suggest someone else.

Mr. Broadus was hired to represent me in a custody matter. I hired Mr. Broadus thinking since he's been practicing as a family law attorney for several years that he would be competent in the area of family law. My experience was every thing short of a good one. Mr. Broadus case load is too high. He lacks effective communication. He lacks attention to detail and made me lack confidence in him as my counsel.
