The worst of the worst...Mr. Brian Hamner

My story is pretty similar. I recently saw this pathetic excuse for an attorney's name and was reminded of my horrible experience with him, which took place in 2007-2008. I paid him $5000 to do a slam dunk modified child custody case against my mentally unstable ex. To make a very long story short.....Mr. Hamner took my money in 2 payments of $2500 (he wouldn't start working until I paid in full)..and then persisted in never returning a phone call, or email or seeing me when I finally resorted to stopping by unexpectedly in the hopes of catching him, he was unsurprisingly never there. At the time $5000 was very difficult for me to come up with. After months of trying to get him to respond to me, I finally filed a complaint with the state board. After which is got back with me and wanted to remedy the situation...we proceeded to court FINALLY...during court my ex lied to the judge (not a good idea)..the judge granted me temporary full custody until my ex got a mental health evaluation and presented it back to the court. All Mr. Hamner had to do was write something up for the judge to sign..WHICH HE NEVER DID. Despite again my repeated call, emails, attempts to reach him at his office...to this day that document was never completed or signed by the judge. He never gave me an accounting of his hours, he never gave me anything more then a hand written receipt from one of those cheap receipt books you find at Office Depot. I would give him a negative 5 stars if possible. This man should be ashamed to walk the streets. I see from the entries here that it is business as usual in the Brian Hamner world.

Very disappointed

My experience was dismal to say the least. A traffic ticket which I provided the lawyer with the information to prove a not guilty verdict took four months and thousands of dollars of lost income, was dismissed when the prosecutor saw my evidence and the case was dismissed. There was no communicatio...n by the attorney. It was all initiated by myself. He got paid, but I did all the work. Do not waste your money or time on an attorney that does not invest any time or interest in your situation. You never know where you stand, because he never communicates with you directly!

Don't trust this man with any case!!

This man did not even plead custody of my children in court! Lost my children, he let the opposing lawyer write the divorce decree when I was the person asking for the divorce. I lost my children for 5 years because of this man. When I complained to the bar, he had 5 other people on the discipline sh...eet!!! He was being sued by others just not me, which made me feel somewhat better that he just didn't hurt our family, it was his business to hurt families.
