Brett Hawkes Pritchard

I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I have no idea how this law office gained 4 stars but here’s the truth! This Law Office DOES NOT research their client, they are bias against clients, they DO NOT have an open line of communication between them and their clients, they do not inform clients of all hearings, the...y do not allow you to speak with your lawyer (you speak with some random person via this sketchy site they’ve created, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT MONEY! After paying them for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for over 2yrs (Due to COVID delays) they want more money. Never having a proper hearing and they thousands more, if you do not pay, they will withdraw as counsel leaving you with absolutely NOTHING! They are already extremely expensive so be aware. Brett H Pritchard is not worth your time!

Do not use this law firm! They took a 7k retainer amd did absolutely nothing and the attorney Brett knew nothing about my case the day of the hearing. He was completely unprofessional asking about if my antidepressant medication works ..in front of other people . He kept saying he needed to go to his... car and acted uninterested in helping me with my custody case. Everything I discovered about the opposing side came from me finding out on my own and informing them about it. What am I paying for? They told me they would “expedite “ having the opposing served and they dragged their feet for weeks. After letting the attorney go I have requested a refund and they continue to charge me for miscellaneous things to drain the retainer. This attorney is unprofessional, rude and unprepared. He did not look at or use any documents I sent to help my case. Don’t waste your money. I will be filing with the Texas Bar if I don’t receive some of my retainer back.

From the initial consultation to present day, this law firm has been consistent in one thing, doing nothing. I hired them to represent me in my divorce. Everything was already decided, but the only thing we were fighting for was custody of my son. I was never able to meet with the attorney face-to-fa...ce due to COVID (and I understand that) but the two times I requested him to call me so we could discuss my case, he called me days later than the original appointment time. They are quick to request money but they do the bare minimum. They did no prep work on my case and represented me poorly in the courtroom. Brent couldn't even manage to win my case against my ex wife and she did not hire representation. You're telling me that someone that went to law school can't win against an average citizen with no legal background. This firm is a joke and would highly encourage everyone to stay away from them. Lastly, I paid the $5500 upfront and did not use all of it during my case. They have yet to return my remaining funds and continue to charge me $30 per message when I try to ask about it. My case was finalized back in January 2021, why is it taking 7 months to return my money? They are going to everything in their power to retain those funds or keep charging me until my funds are gone. STAY AWAY FROM THIS LAW OFFICE!!!!!!!!

I can't speak for the entire firm, however, the lawyer from this firm may as well have been a court reporter, as his skills primarily entail what everyone else is saying or doing. Why would I say this? Because my brother, after 6 months of incarceration, was basically only represented by me. There w...ere mistakes made and when it was pointed out to the lawyer, his response was ...yeah I guess you are right, but took no actions to help. The reason that was his response is that per his words, that he had not looked at anything but the items of discovery. They may be okay for a will dispute or even some type of plea deal but not anything that would entail actual legal work. They have a portal to update you and to make it appear as though they have contact. but since his incarceration, my brother has had a total of 5 visits and one .. he wasn't even aware of where he was located... mighty fine lawyer (note the sarcasm!) I am not objectifying the skills as a family lawyer ... but for any kind of defense ... you would do better with the prosecuting attorney representing you. The lawyer will not proceed with any requests that you make, only after you submit a written request, and then his only argument is with you as a client, not as any type of defense. No Way would I recommend this firm for a defense -
