Spartan Attorney

Brian, his two paralegals Kristen, and Nikki are fantastic! I had good communication with both of them and they were with me every step of the way. Brian is logical, stoic, and has a piercing persona. He can see through people in court and tear false allegations apart. Brian and his team helped me w...in a huge case that will determine the course of my life for many years. I am forever greatful to Brian and his team I highly recommend hiring them. Brian is great at dealing with people who are machiavellian, and dishonest.

Relentless, Tactical, and Results-Driven

Brian Bagley is the kind of attorney you want in your corner when everything is on the line. I hired him to defend me in a highly emotional and complex protective order case, and from day one, he came prepared, focused, and strategic. He understood the legal terrain better than anyone, and his courtr...oom presence is unmatched — calm, precise, and persuasive. What stood out most was that Brian never backed down from tough situations. He dissected false allegations with logic and case law, called out inconsistencies, and didn’t let the opposing side control the narrative. Even when the stakes got personal and emotionally intense, Brian stayed laser-focused on the truth and what was best for my children. Because of Brian’s leadership and legal insight, the case was resolved in my favor — a massive relief. If you’re in a custody battle or being falsely accused, trust me: this is the lawyer you want standing next to you.

DO NOT USE BRIAN BSGLEY

Do not hire Brian Bagley. He makes promises he does not keep, frequently assuring clients that he will follow up or take action, only to go silent for extended periods—sometimes 30 days or more. While his fees may seem appealing, the lack of communication and follow-through leaves clients in a diffic...ult position. His words do not align with his actions, resulting in a frustrating and unreliable experience. Unfortunately, filing a bar complaint is not a practical option when you’re in the middle of a legal matter, and by the time it’s over, most clients just want to move on. However, this man truly should not be practicing law.

Testimonial for Brian, My Outstanding Divorce Attorney

After being embroiled in a contentious five-year divorce, I can confidently say that Brian was the best decision I made in my legal journey. As my third attorney, he truly proved that the third time is the charm. My case was complicated. My ex avoided the first filings entirely and remained unem...ployed for years, living off his elderly mother to evade child support obligations. Meanwhile, I was raising and independently providing for our three children—one of whom has special needs. Despite these challenges, Brian took on my case with unmatched professionalism, care, and determination. When it was time for my final hearings, Brian showed up fully prepared with about five different divorce drafts to propose to the honorable Judge Levinius, who was incredibly compassionate. Brian was ready for every possible outcome, and his preparation gave me confidence that my case was in the best hands. Throughout the process, Brian was swift, thorough, and always professional. His paralegal, Nikki, was also incredibly kind and supportive, making the experience much easier. Thanks to Brian’s exceptional work, my case reached a resolution I am more than satisfied with. I cannot recommend his services highly enough!

"I fully endorse Brian Bagley as an attorney. I have known Mr. Bagley, both personally and professionally, for a few years now. I first met him not long after he first passed the Texas bar exam. Since then, we have developed a friendship and a working relationship between both of our practices. I can say with complete honesty, I would not do this with just any attorney. I have had always had complete trust that Brian always acts with complete professionalism, competence, and skill in the practice of law. We now office together, and again, I would not have chosen to do so unless I thought Mr. Bagley was in the absolute upper echelon of professionalism. He has a strong business background (before he went to law school) - and I believe this skillset serves him very well now as an attorney. Brian is an incredibly bright attorney, and has shown a strong competitive drive to improve/educate himself in the past, which will serve to only lead to an increasing amount of success in the future."
