Advice and a little peace of mind

I was referred to Mr. Pritchard regarding CPS legal advice /council. After taking the time to speak to me over the phone as well as in person, he was very kind and understanding of the situation at hand, while we did not hire him at the time, we most definitely will if it's needed.

Excellence, Honarable and Integrity

Attorney Brett Pritchard is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure to have known and and/or hired. I have been a paralegal for many years, worked with dozens of attorneys and have hired many over the years. I have never been more impressed with someone's work. Brett honestly cares abou...t people, his clients and doing the right thing. He stands up for the little guy being mistreated and the people of this county like no other ever has. Brett is very responsive and communicates information quickly. He was on top of my case and handled it more professionally, ethically and honestly than anyone else ever could have. I had gone through three other attorneys in the area and were disgusted at their work ethic. There is no other attorney I will ever hire now. No one can walk into battle for you, fight for you and win like Brett and he will do it withholding the highest standard of the law. Thank you Brett Pritchard. My son and I couldn't have gone through our battle without you in our corner.

Brett Pritchard was the best decision to make for my attorney!!!

I was going through a rough time with my ex-husband and how wife, I was told about Brett Pritchard through one of my work collogues who used to work for CPS, she told me to get Brett Pritchard because he is a really good lawyer and is the type of lawyer that will not take anyone’s crap, he is really ...good at what he does, and that is why CPS and other Lawyers are scared to have to go against him in court because he does everything he can to really defend his clients, so I took her advice went for a consultation with Brett and he was a tremendous help and answered all my questions and concerns. Brett Pritchard has been my attorney since December 2014. I have gone through 2 different lawyers before hiring Brett Pritchard as my Attorney, I wish I would have known about Mr. Pritchard before I have hired and wasted my money on those other lawyers. I first used Brett when my ex-husband refused to return my son during the Christmas Break, knowing good and well that he was not supposed to have him. Brett was quick on trying to get my ex served and getting my court set up, but took longer than we expected because of privacy act. There were a few times I thought he was not doing much to help me, once we were in the court room he was expedient, effective, quick, and stern. Brett did a tremendous job on representing me and was on point; he did such a wonderful job that I won my case and got what I wanted for the best interest of my son. My ex-husband got what he deserved not only from my attorney but also the judge they did not take it to kindly to what he had done and how much pain and suffering he had caused me. As this was my first experience with Brett and his team to represent me. I am very pleased that I can still call Brett to consult him on various matters regarding my case and upcoming case. In fact, I have to retain Mr. Pritchard as my attorney again for services that are soon to come my way with my ex-husband and his wife. Brett Pritchard’s retainer fees are fair, but what do you expect when you want to hire the best to represent you, to get the best you have to pay for the best, and with that being said I have no concerns that I will lose my next case with Brett representing me. Thank you very much Brett for all your help and what is also to come our way!!

Family Values

Brett is a good trust worthy guy. The type of attorney you form friendship with. He offers clear informative advice and follows up with you. He's someone I would trust time and again with my legal advice. He's a family man who believes in family values completely and fights for them. Our family w...ill always be grateful for his advice during a stressful time.

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.

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."
