Good

consulted with Brett Pritchard about a family matter. He helped so much just during the consultation. He managed to give the advice to keep my son from being taken out of state. If I did not consult with him that day my son would most likely be out of state at this moment. Ryan Lawton from the Brett ...Pritchard Law firm is who represented us. He was awesome. Within just a couple months I had conservership of my son. He now lives with me. I was able to keep up with everything going on with my case through mycase.com. If i had any questions I could message through mycase. I always got fast responses. I also had access to all documents in the case due to the website the brett pritchard law firm uses. I was also given Mr. Lawtons cell phone number. SOO I was ALWAYS informed and NEVER left in the dark. The whole process was so smooth. I think this was the biggest plus. I do believe they genuinely cared about our case. I would hire again without doubt.

Brett Pritchard is a bad lawyer.

Tells you what you want to hear to get you to hire him and demands payment upfront. Bills excessively and unnecessarily on minor issues. Charges a hundred dollars to mail you anything plus attorney time. If you complain about his poor performance he just withdraws from your case (was told he has th...e one of the highest withdrawal rates in the county) and keeps whatever money you paid him. Takes on too many clients and can never remember specifics on your case, fails to prepare. Lacks integrity and character as a lawyer and person.

Excellent Attorney

I have used Mr. Pritchard and his partner, Mike Rizzo, for several different legal matters over the years. I have always had good experiences with them. Both are very professional and know the law. They represented me in my divorce case when I thought all was lost. I can never thank them enough f...or the help and advice they gave me. I will definitely use their services again should I need legal help in the future.

Great Family Law Attorney

Brett Pritchard helped me with an adoption/family law case. He is very knowledgable and was helpful to my husband and I during a a time when we really needed it. We had a very unique situation and he was able to help us nagivate throught it.

Brilliant Duo.

Brett Pritchard is great. His partner, Michael Rizzo is currently representing me in court over a child custody case. When I first approached this office, Brett was great. We laughed, he had a lot of knowledge and insight regarding this case. I was happy to hire them and to have them represent me. T...hank you Brett and Michael. You have done an outstanding job with my case. I will make sure to pass the word along!

Family lawyer | Jan 14

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Simply put, if CPS is coming down the block, call Brett. He is an absolute master of the CPS courtroom. I have sent him clients on many occasions because I know Brett will fight like hell for them. Many times I have watched him make a complete fool out of CPS workers who don't know their own SOP manual, let alone follow it. Strongly recommended."
