Retain at your own risk

He and his partner, Kirk were hired in 2012 to help with a tax problem. They advertised heavily in the Houston area with letters etc. The initial meeting was positive, "we're going to fight this" "that's why I went to law school to protect the small businessman" , bla bla bla. As soon as the fee is p...aid they disappear. Hearings get missed, papers go unfiled, bank accounts get seized, etc. I finally had enough when a hearing was scheduled in August,2014. Tidwell was cc'd a copy but does a "no show". It's rescheduled for September, another "no show". Around the middle of February, 2015 I receive a letter from Mr. Tidwell advising me that he left the firm in September and wanted to know if I would like to retain him to handle my tax problem. Really Gary? I think I'll pass. In hind sight their "big successful firm" was a house of cards with 1 lawyer trying to pull in clients from Houston, 3-4 locations, San Antonio and who knows where else. One of the hands even bragged that you didn't need "brick and mortar" law offices you just do it all on the Internet. I guess it is easier to hide from your clients if you don't have real offices. He did manage to afford one of the best white-collar criminal defense attorneys in Houston. Don't say you weren't warned

Replied last March 09, 2015

To whom it may concern: I was never Kirk Brannan's partner. I worked as a contract attorney for his firm until August 2014. During the year prior to my resignation, I lived and worked in San Antonio. My cases primarily involved clients in San Antonio and Austin. Clients in the Houston area most likely should have been handled by Kirk Brannan. I regret that you were disappointed with your representation by the Brannan Law Firm. If you would like to discuss, I would be glad to speak with you. Please feel free to call my office.
