What a joke.

This was the laziest lawyer I have ever encountered. In one of my virtual hearings he looked as though was dozing off. I genuinely hope he was actually taking notes. He gave me and ultimatum that I pay him another $1000 of the $2000 I owed him after just last month I paid him $3000. I said I won’t b...e able to for another week or so. The next day I’m court he withdrew off of my case. Then I ask him for one simple thing weeks after to get me documentation that my bod matter was resolved and I don’t owe the bondsman money he throws insults using my arrests against me calling me insults and making up lies. I seriously do not recommend this attorney to ANYONE. You would be better off with a public defender.

Reunited with My Kids at Last!

My ex-wife kept not only me but all family from having any contact with my kids for 11 weeks. Ed had her injunctions dismissed, and her subsequent requests for sole custody dismissed as well. He was compassionate and genuinely cared about my kids. I haven’t been happier to see them since the days the...y were born, and I don’t know if it would have ever happened without his help. Worth every cent and more!

Highly recommend

My husband and I hired Mr. Brandt to represent my husband in a petition for an injunction filed by his ex wife on behalf of their two minor children. We found Mr. Brandt to be very knowledgeable and understanding, we felt like we were long time friends from the moment we walked into his office. His p...aralegal, Lizza was also very professional and kept us informed. The petition for the injunction ended up getting dismissed. Even if the judge had not ruled in my husband's favor, our opinion of him would be the same. We would recommend his services to anyone in need of legal representation. If we ever find ourselves in need of his services in the future, we will not hesitate to retain him again.

Excellent Attorney

I was referred to this attorney by my niece for a legal issue concerning a Will. I cannot believe how hard he and his secretary worked to help me. Both of them went out of their way to bring my problem to a satisfactory conclusion. Their legal knowledge is boundless. I came away from there not lookin...g at him as my attorney but as a dear friend. I will definitely recommend him to anyone that asks me for a good attorney.
