What a joke!

Brad was referred to me by a co-worker. Looking back, I should have known better. He gave a flat rate over the phone when we set an appointment and just decided to increase by $500 before I even sat down. He must've really been hungry that day. Most of his cases were probably "not-contested," easy wi...ns. This guy dropped the bomb several times in my divorce case. Copied/pasted my name here and there on someone else's case and almost had me paying additional child support for 2 other kids I never even heard of as well as wrong information throughout the file. And presented it! Incomplete and unprepared during court sessions (very embarrassing and humiliating, especially as the husband plaintiff) and had to set continuances. Fails to complete finale/closing documents after all agreements. Which in fact lead to major issues, years later. Informed him of the agreement violations from the ex and literally did nothing. He failed to act in my best interest, period! When confronted, he quit, just like that. I would suggest giving a novice a chance before considering Brads halfassed services. Good Luck!

Great attorney

I hired Brad for a family case that seemed to just drag on and on. He answered any questions and addressed any concerns I had. He is a "down to earth," straight to the point kind of attorney. If you need someone who will realistically advise you instead of sugar coat it for you, I would highly recom...mend.

Family law

I hired Mr. Popurella for my family law case. He failed myself and my children majorly. Even though I made it clear that we needed supervised visits on more than one occasion due to abuse, he failed to make sure we got it. We met prior to trial with my ex husband and I felt pressured with my ex in th...e room to give in to what he was asking for. Unsupervised visits every other week. 2 days after the divorce was finalized, my ex husband threatened to commit suicide. I filed a police report and everything. I made Brad aware the next day and asked what we needed to do. Instead of filing for emergency change, he said we should wait and see if my ex filed contempt as he advised me to NOT send my kids and go against the current order. Because of this, my ex husband has now got an interim order of protection against me saying i need to follow the current court order which was given June 7, 2021. I tried to file for relocation as my children and I have had to flee the state due to my exes abuse and had to file for emergency relocation on my own as I didn't hear from him for 2 weeks. He then decided to withdraw as my attorney and my life has been hell since then.

Amazing!!

Brad has been our attorney for years. He has handled everything with the utmost professionalize. He always throughly explained the good and the bad of whatever is happened at that moment. I have never had an attorney treat us more like family than a pay check.

Not a good result

This lawyer was only concerned with how much money it would cost to go to trial. Had to settle. He didn’t even think as a lawyer what options I could try for. After settling I spoke with another lawyer…she asked why he didn’t do XY or Z….I wish I had gotten a different lawyer. Paying the price for ig...norance now. Go somewhere else.
