Charles Scott Bracey

I retained Charles Bracey in 2023 for legal representation on a divorce case. It was the worst decision I could have made. He was ineffective on my case never collecting discovery documentation from opposing counsel. We had no record of the other party’s assets due to the lack of due diligence by Cha...rles Bracey. He lacked poor communication about court appearances. The only time his communication was clear was when he wanted to collect payment. Most times, he was unavailable and unreachable. He lacked professionalism, becoming combative a few times, because I questioned the direction of my case. He threatened to drop the case on more than one occasion. He advised me to hire a private investigator to obtain information he should have obtained during the discovery process.He tendered all of my information to the opposing counsel and could have requested the same. He strongly advised me to send subpoenas to creditors (civil domestic violence case), which would have been a complete waste of my financial resources, but would have been billable hours/money for him. He refused to request maintenance for me, however, my then spouse was permitted to file for maintenance from me. He also refused to move forward with my Civil Case (Domestic Violence) that was consolidated into my divorce case by opposing counsel (Lee Jacobson - #62988 - of Jacobson Legal Services). Towards the end of my case in Sept./Oct 2025, he informed me that he was walking away from my case and I should settle the case, which I did, due to his inability to produce any results. It was a waste of my financial resources to continue to pay him for nothing/no results. He divulged my residency to the opposing counsel, asked me to produce my financial bank statements after the discovery process had been completed to provide to the opposing counsel as well as himself, to which I refused. He was working against me at several times during my divorce. I felt as though there was collusion present during the divorce proceedings. He abandoned my case and me by not making himself available to answer questions that I had on the paperwork he tendered to me for signature (MSA). I tried to contact him via phone and email to which he did not respond nor reply. He was available because it was not more than 5-7 minutes after he sent the paperwork to me. At a time when I was emotionally vulnerable and under duress, the person that I hired went MIA. This attorney and his business practices are a disgrace to his profession. I was then harassed by his staff for final payment for his lackluster services. I would strongly recommend anyone considering this attorney or his firm to RUN…..VERY QUICKLY…DON’T WALK…FAR AWAY FROM THIS FIRM!!
