GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS

was looking for aggressive attorney who would return e-mails phone calls etc whenever new thing would arise and HE IS NOT THE ANSWER! he returns nothing! Plus we didn't know anything moving forward until the last minute! I was also scolded like a child for coming into his office without a appoi...ntment! We were threated like children . HE DID GET US VAGUE ORDER THOUGH

Do Not Use Him

I also need to say the he is only in it for the money. As soon as thing started to get hard he wanted out. He did not have the knowledge or experience to fight for me or my child. He did not get orders signed and did not return my calls. Beware of his comments and be sure to record his comments to y...ou outside of the court room. He did not come thru on what he told me he would do.

If I could give him negative stars, I would.

Brian was not only unreliable, but unprofessional. He didn't care about my son's best interest and did a crappy job in the court room. He failed to represent and defend me. At times, he sounded like he was not even familiar with my case, after being his client for a year. He failed to note important ...details that were important in my case, and therefore did not represent me as best as he could of. When I changed attorneys, he delayed the process because there was still a balance on my account. He's a misogynist and definitely isn't going to fight for you if you're a woman.

Did NOT put my child first!!! Only cared what he thought, not what was true!!

After reading good and bad reviews, I agree with all of them BUT, the BAD outweighs the GOOD!! No matter what is happening with the child, he will believe what he wants. Beware Parents!!! He has a tendency of assuming one thing when the evidence says another which is very BAD for the kids in a lot ...of cases!! If you wants someone FAIR, find someone else. If you just want someone that returns your calls, hire him.

Unprofessional Attorney

I hired this attorney and he did not respond in a timely fashion, if at all, to my phone calls or requests for information. He did the minimum required to handle my case and I found out later, from other attorneys in the field, that there was much more he could have done to protect my child's intere...sts--his work was sloppy and disinterested. The worst was perhaps, towards the end of my case, when I overheard him joking in a very offensive, sarcastic, and mean-spirited manner about the child of another client.

  • 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.
