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!

Brian R. Bagley, Esq. is an A+ Outstanding Lawyer!

I had another lawyer handling my divorce case prior to Brian, and she was an absolute MESS. It was very difficult to communicate with her, and she basically refused to listen to my concerns as far as my own personal family dynamic and how I wanted her to handle some things. Months into the divorce ...process, which was just not progressing At All under her handling, she unexpectedly filed to withdraw as my counsel, leaving me high and dry and out of money. I felt cheated, defeated, and very weary for I certainly did not want to get burned again with a new lawyer. Nonetheless I had to find new counsel to finish my divorce case. Thankfully I found Brian, who was nothing short of a godsend. He analyzed what had been done so far in my case, and then effortlessly and seamlessly corrected the mistakes and filled all the gaps my prior lawyer had needlessly created, and quickly got my divorce proceeding fully back on track. Additionally, his comforting, yet no nonsense way of speaking, also put my ex-wife much more at ease with the process and got her to comply with certain things that the other attorney could not. He strived to keep things amicable and always on the level for the good of all. He also kept the paperwork aspect of things very streamlined and did not file unnecessary paperwork in order to charge me more. Brian's pricing was fair, just, and reasonable. I appreciated this very much given what had just happened to me with the prior lawyer. I also appreciated his and his assistant Kristen's prompt responsiveness to my calls. While divorce is certainly not an easy or a pleasant process for anyone, having a great and compassionate lawyer who strives to understand your own particular situation helps smooth the process along immensely. Brian was certainly that person for me. His professionalism and utmost competence can only be matched by his human compassion and sincere friendliness. Brian was a pleasure to work with, as was his office staff. Since Brian took over my case not once did I ever feel that my case was being handled improperly, or that I was being ignored or unheard when I needed clarification on things. I would recommend Brian in a heartbeat to anyone who is just beginning the divorce filing process, or who needs a knowledgeable attorney to fix a prior lawyer's mishandling of their divorce case. He'll be your shining star in either case, and certainly through and through!

If your in need of a Rockstar Divorce Attorney, I highly recommend The Law Office of Brian Bagley! I’ve worked with Brian now for over 2 years, Through a highly complicated Divorce Case. Brian has been amazing to say the least. He is very responsive, easy to talk to, strategic and a Rockstar in the c...ourtroom during litigation. He has responded personally to all my questions and has a strategy for any situation thrown his way. He ran circles around the opposing council and always made sure we stayed ahead of the game. Brian genuinely cares for his clients and understands how traumatic this can be for his clients and their families. High stakes/complex divorce or not, you definitely want Attorney Brian Bagley on your team!

I have so much to say about Kristen Tinker, the paralegal, she is authentic, caring, a true fighter in your case, a hard worker, a listener, responsive, patience, empathetic, someone to cry to, and most of all very compassionate about her clients with a heart of gold. My case was very complex, and difficult in that I was dealing with a narcissist but when I hired attorney Brian Bagley and Kristen Tinker as his paralegal, they were the only ones who were able to get me divorce and fight for me. Brian Bagley And Kristen Tinker together are true life savers and believe in fighting to get you out of a bad situation! Now, I am happily divorced after hiring them on what another attorney could not do.

Excellent Family Law/Criminal Law Attorney

Brian Bagley is really an amazing and very impressive individual. He is always there for me when I need him any time of the day. He knows how to handle all cases, especially, divorces, modifications, child custody, adoptions, DWI, criminal, actually pretty much any case you put in front of him, he... will be able to handle it. I just know that being a lawyer is hard and he does a great job protecting clients and being there for them. He is not one of these attorneys that just want money, he is actually an attorney who cares about his clients and their cases. He will actually fight for you until the end. I will always recommend my friends, family, and people I know to him, because he is someone I trust.

"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."
