Great Attorney

I retained Brandy Thompson after being served with a change of custody motion. On the day of the hearing she was there hours early to review my case and prepare me for my hearing. Brandy made me feel like I was not just a paycheck. She sat by me while the other cases were being heard and took notes ...while the other attorneys sat together away from their clients. She listened like a friend not like an attorney. My case was dismissed thanks to her knowledge of how the law and how the system works. I would call on Brandy Thompson for any legal issues that i at have in the future and would refer her to anyone that ask.

A great choice!

I could not be happier with the help & guidance that I received while working with Brandy & her team! Brandy is thorough & to the point. She listened to my wants, needs & concerns. She was honest & clear with her responses (even when she knew I might not like her answer). I would recommend Brandy... & her team to anyone looking for a no nonsense team that has the ability to be sharp, professional & yet compassionate!

CPS Nightmare

Never having any contact with the judicial system, CPS threatening to permanently remove our children from us was quite scary. I hired Brandy to represent us through this process. Brandy was great answering any questions we had. If there was anything that I needed I could call or email her assist...ant and get an answer right away. I was a little apprehensive about communicating through an assistant and not the attorney directly, however Brandy and her assistant always communicated extremely well. Brandy explained everything to us as we went along and let us know what to expect or not to expect. My favorite thing about Brandy was that she often showed up to the courthouse before we did. I think my wife appreciated this the most. Because she showed up early this helped us stay calm and focused on our case. She helped us get our kids back home as fast as possible. I will definitely recommend her to others and hopefully I never will need her services again but if I do she will be my first call!

Hire Brandy!!

I found Brandy at the 11th hour & she immediately reviewed my case & represented me in an extremely short time frame. She is compassionate & caring & knows family law very well. She was able to get the results our family needed & I would not hesitate to retain her counsel again.

"Ms. Thompson is an aggressive, capable lawyer who has a series of successfully-litigated cases under her belt.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
