Title: Overbilled and Mismanaged Probate Case I hired the Law Office of Bryan Fagan for a simple, uncontested probate. I was originally quoted approximately $4,500. However, I was later billed over $6,500, and the firm acknowledged internally that $875 should have been credited back to me due to e...rrors made on their side. That credit was never applied. The paralegal assigned to my case left the firm, and I was not notified. During this time, my case did not move forward and important documents were not filed. When I raised concerns, communication became inconsistent, and I later discovered I was being billed for internal “strategy meetings” that were only needed due to the firm’s own mistakes. I eventually had to terminate the representation and seek new counsel to complete the probate. I have requested that the firm honor the credit they documented but have not received it. I am currently pursuing resolution through the State Bar and CAAP. My experience was stressful and expensive. I recommend asking very detailed questions about billing practices and follow-up procedures before hiring this firm for probate work.

Fraudulent practices

Hired this firm for an uncontested divorce, they had poor communication, fraudulent billing practices, passed me around to two different firms and 4 different lawyers never completed my divorce but charged me $6000 and before I fired them they gave my personal and medical private information to anoth...er client and broke client attorney privilege and my personal privacy refused to refund me stole my money refused to acknowledge or fix the damage done. Had to pay more and hire another lawyer. If you look at all their firms reviews and BBB you can see it’s a pattern of fraudulent practices where they pass you from lawyer to lawyer and charge. They know exactly what they are doing stealing your money and will not acknowledge. DO NOT HIRE

Terrible law firm and terrible results

This is the absolute worst law firm I have ever worked with. I would not recommend the Law Office of Bryan Fagan to anyone. They billed me for what should be considered administrative work and then showed up to court unprepared. They failed to send me a copy of my paperwork, they excessively billed m...e, the lost the case, the have been withholding my refund for a credit request for months saying “oh the paperwork wasn’t submitted right” every single time I call and say they’ll resubmit it. They fumbled serving the opposing party until I called the process server and told them exactly what to do to get them served , after racking up a bill with the firm. Total incompetence.

BEWARE!

DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM! My Best friend has spent over $70k and her divorce has not been finalized. Her husband has spent less than $10k. They have constant turnover and charge their client as a result. New paralegal texted to introduced themselves $130 bill. For one sentence. She's had 3 new parale...gals over the course of almost two years. Her attorney quit. They are charging her for the new attorney to learn the case. They do these docket checks every week and charge. It's a way to nickel and dime their clients. She spent over $5k to show up for a court date that the paralegal failed to actually schedule. Huge mistake, but guess who paid for it! I wish we would have researched them more. Now I'm researching how do we go about reporting them. It sounds like everyone needs to come together for a Class Action. The response is a joke! We have an extensive amount of documented correspondence with this law firm. They stopped responding. She called FIVE times over the course of two months trying to get her remaining escrow balance returned to her. I say again. DO NOT USE THEM!

Unprofessional, Expensive, and Poor Communication — Avoid

I retained the Law Office of Bryan Fagan in June 2024 for a straightforward, uncontested step-parent adoption. Despite submitting all required documents promptly—including having a signed relinquishment prior to hiring the firm—the case was mishandled and dragged on for nearly a year without progress.... I have paid over $10,000 and still face a $13,000 balance, which far exceeds the normal cost for such cases. The majority of charges appear to be for internal meetings and delays, rather than actual filings or legal work. The case was dismissed due to the firm’s inaction, and I was never notified of this dismissal—I learned about it from the other party involved. The firm later reinstated the case themselves but then withdrew from representation, citing my unpaid balance as a “financial hardship.” I contested the charges and attempted multiple times to resolve the issue, including sending demand letters, but received no meaningful response. Communication was consistently poor throughout, with little transparency about case status or billing. I expected competent and timely legal representation but was met with delays, unexpected fees, and frustration. I cannot recommend this firm to others seeking reliable legal assistance.
