An Excellent Attorney

My divorce case was not technically difficult, but I needed help immediately and Brad was able to leap in and help me with custody issues right away. Brad was aware my divorce was very difficult for me emotionally and his professionalism didn't just extend to legal analysis and representation; he als...o encouraged me and helped me through an awful period of my life, carefully explaining what was going on all the time. He was always prompt about getting back in touch with me when issues arose. While Brad is both smart and affable, he was also dogged in defending my interests. Once, in court, faced with opposing counsel mocking me directly, he responded aggressively in my defense — something that deeply impressed me, and for which I am still very grateful. I'd highly recommend Brad as a divorce attorney. He knows the law. He helped me get a result I can live with and which is helping me move on with my life. And, maybe more importantly, it's clear he actually gives a damn about his clients. That last bit is worth its weight in gold.

Outstanding attorney

No words can describe how grateful I am and appreciative of what Brad has been doing for my case for almost a year now. He has represented me in a post-decree case. He is a dedicated, knowledgeable and thorough attorney. My case has not been easy, especially considering my ex-husband's vindictiv...e nature. Neverless, Brad has never left my side, even during holidays, weekends, and weeknights - always ready to provide his professional expertise and respond to my endless queries. Brad even offered me to reach out to him when he was on vacation overseas, which showed how dedicated he is to my case. Frankly speaking, during the whole process I've felt that I have not only retained an outstanding attorney but also gained a great loyal friend, who is always (I mean ALWAYS) there for his clients. I've had several divorce attorneys in the past whose main priority was to put as many minutes and hours of "hard work" as possible on the billing statement at the end of the month. Not Brad!!! Divorce process can be emotionally, physically and financially draining, but Brad always finds reassuring words so that his clients start seeing light at the end of the tunnel. That means a lot during such a stressful time in one's life. This is the attorney who will work hard to find and fight for a very favorable outcome for his clients. I would highly recommend Brad - he will exceed your expectations.
