I hired Brian originally because after talking to a few lawyers his fees were very reasonable compared to some of the other lawyers. The case was going to be a simple uncontested change of custodial parent from the child's mother to my custody. Everything went smoothly and the court order was obtained. This is where I was very impressed by Brian's firm. The Texas AG office started reporting me as late in my payments to credit agencies, kept charging me child support payments, threatened to take away my professional license to work and would not return the overpayments I had made for child support even though I had a court order stating I was the custodial parent. I made multiple calls to the AG office and sat on hold for hours trying to get this issue straightened out, with no luck. I called Jonathan at Brian's office and they got all the issues with the Texas AG offices resolved. They did this at no charge to me, even though I know they spent a significant amount of time dealing with the AG office. I highly recommend Brian and his associates.
Brian handled my divorce case last year and I was very satisfied with the outcome. My divorce was resolved in less than a year, even though it was a very complex situation involving a concurrent criminal case. Brian was very responsive and was able to handle difficulties with my former spouse with high levels of professionalism. Even when there were attempts to delay the process by my former spouse, Brian kept things moving forward.
There was never a doubt that Brian and his team were working to get this resolved as quickly as possible. This was an extremely stressful process for me, but Brian and his team continuously fought for the best interest of me and my young child. I really can't say enough for how well Brian handled my case and the whole process exceeded my expectations.

Friendly and trustworthy
First of all it’s already so overwhelming uncomfortable to find divorce attorney when you are planning to file for a divorce from your significant other after the trust flies out of window. Than It’s really not easy to find someone you can completely put your 100% faith on.
But after speaking with Brian for the first time put me on ease because I knew right away I was in good hands and he is looking out for me not because I was his client but because he cares and help me with his intellectual and honest conversation.
In the end he got me great deal and very fair deal and work with me in payment plan with no interest on my balance.
His whole team is helpful and amazing. Not to mention mr Jonathan Ortega “paralegal” was great in the process too.

Child Custody Case
Mr. Andrade was instrumental in representing me in a child custody case. Nothing can be more emotionally charged than when it comes to your kids. However, Mr. Andrade was great at helping me focus on what the important issues were by providing guidance, explaining options in a very complicated legal system, and achieving the best possible outcome for my family. He defended my case with integrity and did not manipulate the vulnerability of my situation for his gain as many attorneys are in the practice of doing. I am very grateful to have found him and would recommend him for your case.

A Lifeline of Support: Brian and his Team Transformed my Complex Divorce with Compassion and Expertise
I still have a nightmare and this terrifying feeling what would happen if I had a different lawyer. I am so grateful to the wonderful person referred me to Brian. I am thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional legal services provided by Brian and his dedicated team (specially Johnathen Ortega) during my complex divorce. From the very beginning, Brian’s understanding, compassion, and unwavering support made a significant difference in navigating the most challenging time of my life. I was extremely impressed by his straightforward approach, ensuring I had all the exact information I needed to make informed decisions throughout the process. This made me feel like I was in a driver seat and in charge of my life even if it is hard to feel that way sometimes during a divorce process.
The compassion and empathy exhibited by Brian and his team were extraordinary. They recognized the emotional toll divorce can have and provided a safe space for me to express my concerns and fears. Their unwavering support and reassurance helped alleviate the stress and uncertainty that often accompany divorce proceedings, allowing me to focus on healing and moving forward.
What truly impressed me was the collaborative approach Brian and his team adopted. They worked tirelessly, not only amongst themselves but also in coordination with other professionals involved in my case, such as mediators and financial experts.
Thank you Brian and Team!!!!

Of course, when hiring a lawyer, one most do it's part. Even if you may not know where to start, Brian and his team will guide you through every step and question you may have.

Divorce and custody
Brain worked well with my case, he definitely put in perspective of what was realistic to expect and what was achievable.
Having Brain do all the back and forth for me of defending me of questions the other side was trying to twist and confuse me with Brain was great to ensure that they asked the questions in a better and correct way so the judge would not be caught up in what they were trying to make me seem like.
The reality check of what was possible with what we could prove was very helpful. When I first got served I felt very afraid because of all the wording of the document, and in my head it felt like that was what would be happening and I was very hopeless. Brain assured me that these accusations were nothing to worry about, and my ex had no rights of taking matters into his own hands and demanding things from me until we stood in front of a judge. Giving me peace of mind and understanding that was crucial in how I interacted with my ex until things were done, because I understood my rights and recognized that he was trying to intimidate me.
Coming to the end of what seemed like dragged on forever, one month short of a year. We got what we were hoping for. I’m terms of custody with my child and divorce.
My best advice when looking for a a lawyer, is don’t be afraid of asking questions, even if they seem simple Brian didn’t make me feel dumb when I didn’t understand certain things that were happening in my case and he walked me through it.

Great attorney
Mr Andrade and his team are top notch. We had what I’d consider a simple divorce with just assets and no children. Mr. Andrade and his team were clear about the process, and set realistic expectations before mediation. He is straightforward and honest and I was glad to have him on my team for the divorce.

Divorce w/ children
I used Brian's office for my recent divorce. He knows the law and looks out for the best interest of children. He helped me look for what was important and settle my case that could have easily become a nasty trial. I can't thank Brian and Johnathen enough for their expertise and patience through out this tumultuous journey. I highly recommend Andrade Law.

Brian Andrade is the best family law attorney you could ask for
Brian is the best kind of attorney you could ask for in a family law case. Brian is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and a shark when it comes time to get in the courtroom.
Brian also has a fantastic support team helping him, and has an incredible network of resources should you need unbias third party assistance.
There's never been a time where I had any doubts in his ability to help me in my divorce, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to you should you need a family law attorney.

What can I say that has not been said about Brian Andrade Brian was a consummate professional throughout the entire process of my brothers divorce. Brian was not only a mentor, but provided sound legal advice throughout the entire process. Divorce is never an easy situation but having Brian at my brother’s side always left me knowing he was in good hands. I genuinely mean this that Brian deserves a five star rating and is an excellent attorney.

Child Support Case
I hired Brian Andrade to help with our case regarding Child Support payments. My child's mother was almost $40,000 past due on her support and this had drug on for years and years until I found Mr. Andrade. He was very responsive and was able to recover the entire money due for my sons support. He was even able to recover the attorney fees. Now having gone through a custody legal dispute for years I can say that its not always going to go as perfectly as this situation did regardless of which attorney you hire. But having an attorney that is responsive, considerate of your circumstance, sincerely and actively working on your behalf means everything. Brian Andrade most definitely was all of these things. In fact most of the time I was slower to respond than he was. I would absolutely recommend Brian as an attorney you can trust to do his absolute best for you legal situation.

Brian was the third attorney my niece engaged to represent her in a custody case. I wish he would have been the first. After a bad experience with another attorney, he was just who she needed. He is knowledgeable, straight forward and focuses on the law rather than slinging mud at the other side. He did an excellent job and got the results she needed.

I would highly recommend Brian to any of my friends who may need his services. Brian Andrade filed my original divorce. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and succinct. Years later, I am having custody issues with my ex. I reached out to Brian to understand what my options are, and get advice on how best to proceed with my situation. His office offered me a free 30 minute consult. Brian helped me understand that what I was feeling was valid. He gave me the tools I needed address my situation and told me that he is available if I need him in the future. Brian is always courteous and professional. He listens to you and give you valuable feedback. He does not waste your time.
