Brett Hawkes Pritchard

If I can give this law firm 0 stars, I would. I am utterly disgusted with this law firm. I typically never leave reviews for anything, but this law firm is nothing but a scam. I paid upfront 5,000 for a simple child support/ custody dispute. I can just say, Brett Pritchard and Brent, did absolutely n...othing for my case but charge me an arm and leg. Before finding a different lawyer, I have paid triple over the original balance for a temporary order that even the judged questioned what was my attorney expecting. A year goes by with this firm, and my son was about to be taken away from his mother from CPS and yet they still couldn't read up on my case. When the CPS court arrived, my attorney was ill-prepared and even made the excuse he didn't know about the case until the day prior!!! Mind you, I was aware about the court hearing a week prior along with the paralegal, CPS workers, and opposing counsel. This law firm almost made me lose my son to the system if it wasn't for CPS lawyers who was able to put my son into my custody. However, prior to this, my attorney canceled my final hearing 3 times before CPS got involved. Which one, he canceled because of "scheduling conflictions," but when I confronted Brett about it, he said "he was on vacation." THEY CANT EVEN KEEP UP WITH EACH OTHERS LIES. I am filing for a grievance to the board, because a firm who doesn't represent their clients to the best of their ability, or even have the DECENCY to look over a case, then they shouldn't be practicing. And going to find a way to make this law firm black listed for military members. I never want another soldier to go through a scam law firm as I did.

This law firm is both negligent and incompetent. I hired them for a divorce/child custody case in which timeliness was essential. In the week and a half after I hired them and paid a retainer of $8,500 they failed to do anything whatsoever. My assigned attorney never reached out to me so I scheduled ...an appointment with him. On the day of the appointment I was told he could call anytime during the day, which is very inconvenient if you have a job and life to attend to. At the end of the day, I called the office to inquire as to why he hadn't called and I was told that he got "tied up." In the meantime, I missed the deadline for responding to the divorce petition. The next day, the paralegal messaged me to inform me that they were "about to start preparing the petition"....... I didn't need a petition, that had already been filed by the other party, I needed them to file a response to the petition. Clearly they didn't read through any of the information or forms I had promptly provided them upon retaining their services and they had no idea what was going on. I fired them and hired the Tisdale law firm who, within 24 hours, had filed a response on my behalf which fortunately was accepted by the courts in spite of the passed deadline. I have been trying to get a refund of my retainer fee and they're giving me the runaround. I read the fee agreement and they take $3400 off the top that is non refundable!!! That $3400 isn't applied towards the hourly work they do on your case, it's just their representation fee. As to the other $5100, it remains to be seen if I will ever see that again. These guys are expensive and incompetent. Do yourself a favor and call the Tisdale Law Firm instead. They charge less and they actually get things done and communicate with you.

I met with Brett Pritchard in order to obtain guidance on what I should do to assist my parents in maintaining their quality of life and not be taken advantage of by their youngest son (my younger brother). After seeking assistance from Adult Protective Services, for almost a year, my parents' circum...stances (especially my mother's) worsened. I realized that I needed professional help outside of APS. Mr. Pritchard listened with compassion and provided sound counsel. Although he could not take the case, he recommended that I contact a lawyer in the county where my parents live. I am very appreciative for his advice and I truly believe that he has each of his client's best interest in mind.

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 seasoned and aggressive advocate. He has close to 20 hrs of experience yet his prices are reasonable making him accessible to people who normally would not be able to afford this level of quality representation. My husband had a hearing coming up and Brett took his case, showed... up and sent the other side home with their tail between their legs. Truly an extraordinary attorney and we would highly recommend him.
