Stay away

BE VERY CAREFUL BEFORE HIRING THIS ATTORNEY. I hired this attorney approximately six years ago for a custody matter involving my two daughters. According to my records, I paid $4,000 up front and another $2,000 later. When my financial circumstances changed, I asked whether we could arrange a p...ayment plan so the representation could continue. I was laughed at and the attorney stopped representing me. These events were extremely stressful because the case involved my children and was very important to me. Approximately six years later, I am being sued by the same attorney for an additional $3,500 that he claims is owed for the prior representation. I dispute or question this amount and am addressing it through the appropriate legal process. I cannot speak to anyone else’s experience, but my experience left me feeling that I did not receive the flexibility or continued support I needed when I could no longer pay immediately. I found the situation financially and emotionally difficult, and I am still dealing with its consequences. Before hiring this attorney, ask detailed questions about the fee agreement, billing practices, payment plans, what happens if your financial circumstances change, and under what circumstances the attorney may withdraw. Get all agreements in writing, keep copies of invoices and payment records, and document your communications. This review reflects my personal experience and opinions. Prospective clients should do their own research and carefully consider whether this attorney’s policies and approach are right for them.

Brad Guillory review

I retained Brad Guillory to represent me in a complicated case involving several issues including loans to a business project that I was involved in and professional work that I did for the person who made the loans. Over the extended period of time it took to resolve this matter, Mr. Guillory and h...is entire staff were at all times courteous, available, and extremely knowledgeable about my case. I had a great deal at stake financially, as well as an affront to my personal reputation, but thanks to the work of Mr. Guillory, I was completely vindicated and had a huge burden lifted off my shoulders. I would highly recommend Mr. Guillory to anyone in need of legal representation.

Money Well Spent

I would recommend Brad to anyone. He represented me to the fullest extent and was very knowledgeable. He wasn't a pushover, and straight forward about everything. Took the time to explain what I should do.

Very poor advocate

I was a client of Brad's in a divorce hearing. After paying him tens of thousands of dollars we still had not gone to trial and then he had the audacity to tell me I had to pay him another very large sum of money before he would represent me in court when he did get a court date. In one pre trial he...aring he showed up completely unprepared. he does not return phone call or emails and you will end up doing everything to prepare witnesses. For what I paid him I could have gotten a very high end lawyer and three times the quality.

Biggest crook in Lake Charles

I paid him over $10,000 to handle my divorce and nothing has been settled still. On top of that when my debt got too high he dropped me. This guy only cares about money and he definitely charges too much for the work he does or should I say lack there of. I had to get a different attorney to handle m...y case cause like I said he literally did nothing and I still had to get the divorce, visitation, & custody settled. What a waste of money and time!!!
