Excellent service

I would recommend Brabazon Law Office. I was facing 3 charges with the possibility of 9 months in jail and $10,000 in fines. I hired Shane to help me with my case. He explained everything to me and was very understanding. He researched my case and worked with the D.A. to come out with results I was h...appy with. He was able to get 2 of my 3 charges dropped and a small fine to pay. No jail! I'm completely satisfied. He's someone I would definitely call on again. Thank you again Shane

The best attorney, bar none

I was charged with a serious sexual assault crime. Although the charge was absurd, I was very afraid of the possibility of a bad outcome. While I felt the criminal justice system was always stacked against me I had the advantage of a great attorney on my side to give me a little peace of mind. ... My case dragged on for about a year and a half. I had to sit in jail for half of that time awaiting trial. I am certain this would have been much less if I had hired Shane sooner. I assure you that this man will handle your case to the best of his ability. Thankfully, his ability is equal to or above any lawyers in the area. I was impressed at how well he handled the court proceedings and that he always took my opinion of what was happening and how to handle things into consideration. The law is not fair. The system is not fair. Don't kid yourself. I had my life turned completely upside down over a lie and the DA's office could not have cared less about the truth. Thankfully, after a year and a half, I had my day in court. My jury trial was nothing like a movie. Shane knew everything to be expected and how to pick and handle a jury properly. He knew all the technical significance of every aspect of the proceedings and any case law that applied. I was overjoyed and relieved to get the justice I deserved, finally. To hear the words not guilty have me a sense that jury trial is as close to a just process as we can get, considering we use such little science in some of this. I would advise ANYONE considering hiring an attorney for ANY CRIMINAL MATTER to do it and if you take that advice HIRE MR. BRABAZON. The price is high, but life is something that a person can afford to pay for.

Great Experience

I had a very favorable experience with this lawyer. I have never been in touble before, so I met with at least 5 lawyers. Even though he was more expensive than some of the other attorneys..it was well worth it. He gave me as much time as I needed and had a very friendly staff that always seemed t...o give me the answers I needed. WHen we walked into the court room you could see how the other attorneys and Judges respected him. After watching some of the other attorneys, I knew I picked the right one. He seemed to go the extra mile and stood up for me. He didnt make false promises to me like I hear about other attorneys. Some of them I met with seemed like used car salesman.. always telling me what I wanted to hear. I am a firm believer in the concept you get what you pay for. Attorney Brabazon was worth every penny.

Excellent Experience

I was recently charged with a drunk driving (DWI). I had been in this predicament before and have hired an attorney with little benefit. I was facing some jail time so I thought I should get an attorney but truly I did not expect very much. I had heard some good things about Attorney Brabizon. Whe...n I met with him, I wasnt sure if he was telling me the truth, or just telling me what I want to hear. I decided to hire him because of his reputation and he seemed to really know alot about these type of cases. He really kept me informed about what to expect. He didnt sugar coat anything. He filed some motion about the officer not doing something right. When we got in front of the judge, I could tell the Judge respected what he said. He knew the law better than the prosecutor. He ran circles around him. In the end, my case was dismissed! Wow, what a difference the attorney can make

Not satisfied

When I first hired him I assumed he was a good fit, but shortly after he was hired and payed I could never get a hold of him. Anything I asked him to do on my case he would not do ... then he lied to me and told me a deal that was never the plea offer at all misleading me telling me it was only a pro...bation plea when it was also jail time included .. not satisfied

Replied last February 07, 2019

When we are hired, we are the attorney. While we advocate for our clients, we are in charge of legal strategy. We consider our client's thoughts and opinions, but we have to consider all legal considerations. Many times clients believe certain issues are relevant to a case when, in fact, they are not. Our clients have a lot of emotion in their case. As attorneys, we need to appreciate that emotion, but we also need to look at some issues devoid of emotion and let the client see it from another perspective, usually the way a judge or a jury may look at the situation. As this person is anonymous, I can advise you that this client did not pay the retainer as promised in the representation agreement, which was a significant reason for us asking to withdraw from her case.
