Brett Hawkes Pritchard

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.

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!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

He makes you believe that everything will be okay and when he is faced with a great lawyer, he starts to get red and frustrated. He likes to delay the trial so he can keeps billing you. I wish I can show you his letters and compare them to a very excellent lawyer. He doesn't know how to write. I...t's either he needs to get a new assistant or refresh his writing class. My friend hired him for child custody and it's has been three years and he is still not done. So, my friend decided if anyone needs an attorney to stay away from him. My other friend, on her court date Prichard didn't even show up.
