If you want to pay to be yelled at; Brad's your guy

My husband and I had used Brad in the past, he wasn't great but he wasn't horrible so when visitation became an issue again I called him back. I explained what WE were looking for and was assured that Brad was completely on board, even though we didn't get to meet with him before the court date only ...his secretary and his assistant. I paid the retainer and my husband was suppose to meet with him to sign a retainer to go over strategy and fees. His appointment was cancelled, twice and we didn't get the opportunity to speak with Brad until a few minutes before stepping in front of the judge. During our initial meeting, Brad repeatedly raised his voice at me when I was simply trying to express what we wanted. I was told more or less I don't represent you, and if I'm going to represent your husband this is how we're going to proceed. I understand I'm just a stepmom but it's still my baby that my husband and are fighting for, how dare you treat me this way. Needless to say we fired him before even stepping foot in front of the judge. So in the end it cost us almost $400 for multiple cancelled appointments and a 5 minute session where I was yelled at minutes before my husband had to go in front of thr judge.

I apologize for raising my voice at you and remember the meeting you are describing very well. I'm very passionate about what I do and in this situation I felt very strongly about the strategy that needed to occur in your husband's case. Based on my years of legal experience, the strategy you were hoping to employ was unlikely to win and I strive to do what is in my client's best interests in order to achieve the most favorable outcome.

"I endorse this lawyer. Brad has taken extra steps to provide to the general public up to date legal analysis on many topics related to family law. In order to tell others the law you must be prepared. Not all attorneys are prepared many are concerned with billing and generating fees. I have worked on multiple cases with Brad to bring equitable resolutions to our client cases without draining the parties assets."
