Composed, professional, got bogus emergency motions dismissed!

I found Brad during the most challenging time of my life. He was a professional, reassuring and supported my understanding and parsing of what truly mattered with regards to my case during an the most intense period of my life. He gracefully navigated me through a war against bad faith actors, threat...s and false allegations. Brad's honesty during difficult times and willingness to not sugarcoat some of the realities of potential outcomes helped me to stay grounded and calm during the most excruciatingly painful period of my life. My kids are back with me now in my home state after challenging first round interstate battle navigating UCCJEA and a number of other complexities thrown at us by people acting in bad faith during the most vulnerable time of our lives. Brad's your guy!

Family attorney for a reason! Kind, Compassionate, and Professional! Wrapped like a gift, given to yourself!

Where do I start appreciating everything Brad has done to help me through getting out on the bright side feeling seen, heard and handled with poise, dignity and empathy while being highly professional. He LISTENED to me, never rushed me, and always gave me the right advice and direction. He and his t...eam represented me in such a dignified and strong position, were always thorough with their work and kept it clean! I am extremely grateful and honored to be represented by Brad. I can go on, but, the bottom line is, he has your back!

Exceptional Divorce Attorney

Brad Kaye is the divorce attorney you want when the stakes are high. He was strategic throughout my entire case — knowing exactly when to push and when to hold back — and that instinct made all the difference in my outcome. Highly recommend.

Smart and Strategic!

Brad knows the law, inside and out! His approach is one of logic and solid strategy throughout the case. Through the ups and downs Brad is steady and offers his client understanding, patience, and empathy. He is genuinely good person, a fantastic attorney, and I was honored to have him in my corner. ...

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
