Brett Hawkes Pritchard

I paid $6,500 upfront, and later gave them another $2,500 under pressure — over $9,000 in total. From day one, I told the attorney and his staff that another man was on my son’s birth certificate and that a legal Acknowledgment of Paternity was already on file. Despite that, the man was never served ...in time. The first hearing was postponed mid-hearing because of this mistake. Even then, I didn’t give up. I personally located the man, paid for the notary, got the affidavit signed, and submitted it to the firm. But before the next hearing, my petition was amended behind my back, causing another delay. I was never consulted — just notified after it happened. At that point, I was devastated, confused, and still being billed. I kept seeing vague entries like “Review File” or “Respond to Message,” with no real movement in my case. No court orders. No name change. No representation in a full hearing. And when I raised concerns, I received a letter with these exact words from Mr. Pritchard: “When I agreed to take your case, it became MY case… Your opinions on legal matters are of little significance to me… I will not allow a civilian observer to make demands… nor will I heed to recommendations given to you by ChatGPT or any other AI program.” That’s what I got after $9,000 — a letter saying my opinion didn’t matter. To make it worse, I recently discovered that my contract was never even signed by an attorney. They took my money, but never fully executed the agreement. That speaks volumes about how my case was handled. I hired this firm because I believed in the same values I thought they stood for. I thought I was choosing someone who would fight for what’s right. But instead, I was left to fight alone. If you’re a parent fighting to be in your child’s life, please think twice. Ask the questions I didn’t know to ask. Don’t mistake a public image for personal dedication. This was my experience. And it hurt more than just my wallet — it hurt my hope.

Terrible professionalism. I hired this firm based on the overall rating given on google. I wish I would have went through each individual review! You will literally wait weeks for an update on your case. The first time speaking to my lawyer she knew nothing about the case, the conversation was liter...ally spent with her asking me questions about details she should have already been privy to before calling me. The conversation was not productive I was not able to ask or receive answers to my questions due to the lack of information she had. Secondly, after reaching out to them about an appointment and getting no response, I reached out a second time and finally got a date to speak with my attorney. On the day I was supposed to speak to my attorney the firm informed me same day that I will not be receiving a call from her and rescheduled me to the following week with a new attorney. A simple custody revision has turned into a complete drawn out process due to the lack of enthusiasm and professionalism from the firm. All the while I am still getting charged with little to no communication. Honestly, weight your options before choosing this firm.

We hired this firm to represent our daughter in a divorce over a year ago. 5k down and guess what? The attorney assigned to us, secoya, i think his name was, never provided a strategy, said we stand great chance at everything. Then crickets. He missed phone consults, ignored emails through their syst...em. Next thing we know we are being billed again and we haven't even gone to court or spoken to opposing attorney! They said all our deposit was used up by calling in to a ghost attorney. They charge for calls, emails, storing calls and emails, replying with canned responses etc etc. Avoid this firm like the plague! Read their other reviews on Google. Same pattern over and over.

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!
