Great Lawyer

Brenda was very informative and honest. She cares and that is important when having someone represent you. She helped me in my dui case with injury and after that whenever i had questions I could call her and ask and she would give me advice. She is smart and compassionate and was very helpful. If y...ou are in trouble my best advice is after the time of your incident do something good to show growth for the judge. Brenda is amazing.

FIND ANOTHER LAWYER

She does not communicate or return calls. Does not study your case or provide any information prior to the court date. Gives false information. Tells you one thing and another happens not reliable or dependable just wants the money.

Replied last February 21, 2023

Hello LaToya, your review is untrue in a couple of ways. First, you did not hire me, I was appointed to your case by the court. As such, every time we communicate you are charged $100 per hour by the county--therefore, I do my best to limit conversations with appointed clients to the minimum to save them money. Secondly, we have spoken before, both at your last hearing and again after that. Finally, it appears you had another criminal case filed against you that you did not inform me of--perhaps that is what you're really upset about, but it is nearly impossible for me to help when I'm not aware of what is going on. Please retract/remove this false review.

Terrible lawyer

She was representing my boyfriend in a case we paid her completely up front. She never answered her phone. Never called back if left a voicemail. She’s never in the office overall very frustrating and terrible experience. His freedom is on the line and she won’t do the work for the services we paid h...er for. Would not recommend

"I've been fortunate enough to have Brenda as a colleague to bounce ideas around. She is battle tested and always ready to fight for her criminal clients. We represented co-defendants in a matter and it was comforting to know I was working with a lawyer like Brenda who was meticulous and ready to work."

"I endorse this lawyer. Brenda was second-chair in a criminal case of mine. She demonstrated a strong working knowledge of criminal practice and the rules of evidence. After a mixed verdict, Brenda took over the case as sole-counsel for post-conviction matters, and obtain excellent results for the client."
