Posted by Darren | July 17, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Fellow ATTORNEY here warning to AVOID him at all costs!

ANOTHER ATTORNEY HERE, and I STRONGLY advise working with Mr. Brindley. I was referred to work with him as local co-counsel for a client with serious drug charges here in Ohio. Even when we started working together, he was incredibly difficult bordering on impossible to get ahold of about handling th...e case. He kept saying he would apply for pro hac vice (basically for a single case) admission to Ohio for this case to be able to act as lead counsel as agreed (after all, the client hired him to direct the case). It should've taken a few weeks, but it's been over FIVE MONTHS since we started the case and he NEVER did so. Imagine hiring an attorney and they never file with the court to officially become your counsel and be able to appear and argue in court! Matters then developed to the point he so completely ghosted me that I had to file a motion to withdraw (tomorrow). He essentially left our client stranded. Oh, and all the reviews listed on Birdseye about him taking money and not doing the work? TOTALLY true! He ran up over five grand owed to me, which I naively believed a fellow attorney would eventually honor. But no way. Not only did he wind up writing me a bounced check for two grand, he again completely ghosted me the last few months after a few half-hearted BS promises over payment which, of course, he never followed through with. I attempted contacting this guy literally countless times over the last few months, about both managing the case and then payment, and his sporadic at best contact devolved into complete non-contact. BE FOREWARNED! If this guy is going to fail to communicate with or pay another ATTORNEY working on a case with him, how do you think he'll treat you or your family member needing representation? There are thousands of criminal defense lawyers in Chicago, and I assure you 90+% will serve you better than this guy.

Atlast found a Federal attorney you can trust!

I hired Mr. Brindley in 3/2013, for my sons criminal defense, Mr. Brindley replaced Joe Lopez (which my son had hired in 4/2012) For one year, Lopez pressured my son to accept a plea agreement that was not acceptable and he did not do anything for him, he has focus on the Peterson Case. Kept making ...promises that we are going to trial etc.etc. which it was all a bluff. after one year of waiting and my son sitting in prison. I checked over 25 cases on Lopez and saw that he did not file many motions for his clients, all he did was a plea agreement and a sentencing memorandum. After all verifying all cases, Lopez was fired! and Mr. Bridley took over the case! My son was not forced to accept the 1st offer that government and Lopez wanted to give him. He is home this summer 2014. Its very difficult to trust attorneys. After all the research, I recommend Mr. Brindley to fight and not give up on your behalf.

Federal crime lawyer | Jun 11

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer's work. In 2004, Mr. Brindley was graduated in the top 10% and Law Review from the University of Iowa College of Law. There he not only won two consecutive national mock trial championships, but coached two consecutive teams to national championships as well. His academic and mock trial credentials are obviously nonpareil. In practice, Mr. Brindley won a rare federal acquittal on all counts in only his second jury trial. He hung a jury (universally considered a victory for the defense) in his third. He continued to win verdicts on lesser charges thereafter. He has quickly become the fastest rising star in the federal criminal defense bar. Because of his success, he has earned the ire of many Assistant U.S. Attorneys, who are not used to losing and facing such a vigorous defense, and the admiration of the federal criminal defense trial bar. If there is ever another Clarence Darrow, Mr. Brindley will be it."
