No!

Would not recommend for divorce unless you have thousands of dollars to throw away. I never even got the divorce. Was loosing the custody battle to a parent with a SUD. Cost me 10,000. Her aggressiveness did not work in my favor. She was fighting over a kayak I didn’t even want. Why would I waste her... time (350 an hour or part of an hour) to fight for a kayak. Never saw a spreadsheet with actual figures on it after giving her financials and asking over and over what the finances would look like. I was traumatized. Took me years to even write this review and stand up for myself. She said crazy unstable things about her therapist when we met. Stay away.

Great Job!!

Brenda helped me several years ago with a custody case that had been in and out of courts for years. Brenda was the lawyer that finally made it so that my child had a voice in the hearings. After years of fighting for more time with my child it finally happened. Thank you Brenda for all of your hard ...work and brutal honesty about how things may or may not go.

Outstanding!!!!

Brenda handled my divorce for me like it was a piece of cake!!! She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend her to anyone. She also a very nice person, and it was my pleasure just to meet her. She will not let you down, so just give her a ...call! I'm so happy I did!

Definitely amazing

I hired Brenda in April 2017. I have nothing but good words and so far a good experience through a terrible terrible terrible divorce. She has showed me so much kindness, professionalism and respect. She truly has her clients best interests in mind and is what I would classify a “mama bear”. She is n...ot afraid to stick up for what is right and not let her clients get taken advantage of. God forbid I will ever have to go through something that I would need a lawyer for- but if I did have a situation in the future she would be my #1 go to.
