Fitzgerald T. Bramwell

I retained Jerry Bramwell after a consultation and had my engagement letter ready to mail back to him. On our first actual strategy call, he had no agenda and no opening context. After several moments of silence, he merely asked "so what do we need to talk about?" A few minutes into me answering his ...questions, he abruptly announced the relationship "wasn't going to work out," describing my answers as unusually "reticent," even though I'd responded to everything he asked. When I pressed him to explain what he actually needed from me, he couldn't articulate it; he just repeated that this "didn't feel right" and told me to go find someone else through NELA. If you're hoping for an attorney who runs a competent intake process, communicates clearly, and takes ownership when something isn't a fit rather than putting it on the client, I'd steer clear. This felt less like a professional assessment and more like being blamed for his own lack of preparation.
