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.

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.

Worst Lawyer u can Hire !!

Worst Lawyer u could ever hire !!! Paid this man 1,500 dollars to do a simple name change for my child . He not only did absolutely nothing and got no where in 9 months . He filed nothing made me sign papers than waited another few months than call for more papers to be signed for him to file nothi...ng .He was always dis organized dressed in basic clothes wasted time talking about himself and sports . Than when called out for asking for more money to do more nothing I said no and decided to find another lawyer he proceeded to call me a b**** and other names on the phone until his secretary hung up the phone . He sent me rude texts and spoke to my father and told him to f off after he tried to speak to him because I was to upset . I'm. Single mom my only concern was to change my sons last name and he scammed me and did nothing w the money I paid upfront to him. Word to the wise don't waste ur time and especially ur money on this Pos scam of a lawyer . Learn from my mistakes .

Caring and Compassionate Attorney

Mr. Brandt assisted me with a family law case. He was affordable and allowed me to pay in installments. He and his staff were totally available for us day or night. I once received a text from his paralegal at 11pm. Talk about on the ball !!! Mr. Brandt is easy to talk to and really cared about the o...utcome of my case.
