Save your time searching- Hire this one!

Before hiring Brandon, I had worked with another attorney who dismissed my concerns and offered no real help. Feeling unheard and unsupported, I knew I needed someone who would truly advocate—so I consulted with; and hired Brandon Epperson. From our first conversation, Brandon was honest about the ch...allenges ahead but took the time to listen and assured me he would do all he could to help. I was in the middle of a very difficult custody battle, deeply worried about my children's safety while they were with the other parent. Without going into the personal details, the situation was overwhelming and emotionally draining for both me and my kids. Anyone who has gone through a custody dispute understands just how heavy that burden can be. During this incredibly hard time, Brandon was a steady, reassuring presence. When fear and uncertainty felt paralyzing, he brought calm and clarity. His paralegal, Deidra, was also an incredible support—together, they went above and beyond to walk with me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. Their responsiveness was outstanding. I never waited more than a few minutes for a returned call or email, and that level of communication made a huge difference. When your children’s well-being keeps you up at night, having a legal team that’s truly present and invested in your case offers a tremendous sense of comfort. In the end, the results far surpassed my expectations. Brandon didn’t just win the case—he gave my family a fresh start. My children are safe, and I finally have peace of mind. I’ll always be grateful for Brandon’s compassion, determination, and unwavering dedication. His impact on our lives will never be forgotten.

Worst Attorney in Collin County

Brandon represented me took my money and didn't put up any type of fight against opposing council during the trial. He allowed OC to grill me and didn't object. He made zero attempt to follow my advice in our case and did very little to paint a picture of my Ex who had multiple pieces of evidence th...at proved she was a bad parent. The amount of overwhelming evidence that we could have used was not used. He appeared intimidated by the judge in my case and seemed to acquiesce to both the judge and opposing council. My case was lost because of his terrible decisions and trial choices. He literally lost my case which should have never happened. Save your money and use someone else. This guy is TERRIBLE!

I recommend Brandon Epperson

I met and started working with Brandon Epperson back in 2012. I knew Brandon was going to be efficient, professional and someone great to work with when I showed up at 6:45AM for my first appointment with him at 7AM and he was already there ready to go. Brandon did an absolutely incredible job for... me during my divorce and subsequent legal battles over the past few years. He knows the laws and legal aspects of every possible situation and is able to explain everything in great detail where you can understand it and relate it to your situation. I am in a much better situation with my living situation, my son and my divorce because of Brandon and his work and I have continued to utilize him for advice over the years because of my tumultuous situation. Brandon is fair, professional, knowledgeable, and will fight all day and night for you and that’s someone I want to be associated with. I will continue to use Brandon going forward and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Best Family Law Attorney!

D. Brandon Epperson has respresented us for multiple cases. He has always been very honest, even when it wasn't what we may have wanted to hear. He kept us informed of the status of our cases, did not hesitate to spend countless hours on the phone with us and responded effectively to our emails as ...well. While I know our cases may have been standard, he never made us feel like he was going through standard motions and he always made us feel like a top priority. When the time comes for us to need an attorney again, he will be the first one that we call.

QDRO case

The experience with my lawyer was a very enlightening experience. He and his staff were very professional and very responsive. I would hire them again in a heart beat...but I would also realize that I would have my pocketbook open to pay for the attention. That was my enlightenment experience. Each p...hone call...each email...each interaction had a charge to it. But again...it was a business transaction and my completed case got me more than I had expected...so the unplanned expense was well worth it for the long run.
