Divorce Proceedings

I secured Brad's services for my divorce proceedings. Through no fault of his own, they dragged on for over a year. He gave me his expertise and guided me through the process. Although I did not agree with parts of the final settlement, he walked me patiently though the rules and regulations that ...he had to follow.

Consistent and Professional

Brad returns calls quickly. Brad took time to educate me on the law pertaining to me. I hired Brad for divorce matters, including child support. He has always answered my questions. Later, I returned to Brad to represent me in obtaining an agreement for support so that my children would receive he...lp in paying for college from my former spouse. I am very happy with the outcomes and Brad helped to put me at ease. He is very knowledgeable and consistent. I highly recommend Brad if you have to go through divorce matters.
