Beverly L Brennan

Very disappointed with her services, don't waste your money. Extremely dissatisfied with the level of service provided. I would advise against investing your funds with this attorney. You will receive numerous emails until your escrow account is drained, with claims that your situation is highly comp...lex and demands extensive backend efforts.

Beverly Brennan was hired by me in March of 2015 for a parenting plan agreement. I paid the retainer amount requested and signed the agreement which stated the hourly fee as well as the fact that I would receive monthly billing statements. Over a year went by throughout the case from start to finish ...and I expressed to Mrs. Brennan the need to keep costs low during our initial conversation as I do not have much. Not receiving monthly statements of my account as outlined in her agreement gave me the impression that my retainer was still being used. When the case was successfully settled, I received a whopping invoice for over three times the amount of the original retainer without any prior disclosure or monthly billing statement (which was outlined as common practice in her agreement). When I emailed her regarding my concern, my email went ignored and a month later, I had received a bill from a collections company for the total amount. Beware of this attorney as she had no problem escalating charges without my interest in mind and secretly kept the accruing amount to herself despite what her retainer agreement states otherwise. If a legal document states that I should expect monthly billing statements (as my other attorneys have done in the past), then when I am not receiving them, I naturally assume that the retainer amount was sufficient. I am now contacting the Florida Bar Association and filing a formal complaint as I have found discrepencies on her invoice for billed phone time in excess of what my phone records show. Makes me wonder about the emails as well as she has billed me for emails sent on dates that cannot be validated through documentation. One month she claims she emailed me a couple of times ($120 worth) and I have only one email from her for that month that states she was on vacation. Sad part is that now I am stuck with an absorbant bill in collections and am left to the assistance of only the Florida Bar Association.

I retained this attorney by phone from Denver Co. to represent me in a divorce/custody suit. I had to "trust" the my attorney was going to do right by me due to my living in another state. I came to find out that not only was she NOT representing my interest but actually conspired with opposing couns...el and sold me down the river. I FIRED HER. I then represented myself exposing the ILLEGAL ruling that my own attorney wrote and ultimately winning the divorce AND most importantly custody of my son. Yes that's right folks, I , a man fared better in court representing myself than with the "aid" of this so called attorney. If you look at her experience you will see that she was with the prosecutors office for years. Perhaps she is confused as to the definitions of defending/prosecuting.
