Brandi is honest and trustworthy

Brandi is so ethical and zealously represents her clients. The courts are often corrupted, Brandi understands that, so she can better protect you. She won't sell you out.

Brandi fights for what is right

My custody case was extremely complicated and based on discrimination of my legal profession. I received a TRO and lawsuit trying to get sole custody of my son with supervised visitation. I only had a few days to find an attorney before the TRO hearing, and after one consultation and several differen...t phone calls with other attorneys, I met with Brandi and knew she was the right one. Brandi has integrity and fights for what is right. We discussed early on how we would like to proceed if we were to be in court for the final decision making time, and she requested a jury trial early on. We went through 2 half day hearings, one full day hearing, and mediation. I didn't know what to expect during mediation, but Brandi was there to assure me every step of the way, and also let me know that she was prepared to go to trial if we needed to. Luckily we were able to settle at mediation, which is amazing because my case was so complicated and political. In the end my sons dad and I have equal rights as joint managing conservators and 50/50 visitation (prior to this custody case I was primary guardian and we had 50/50 custody). While it felt like a long time at 6 months, in reality it was quite short for the kind of case I had. I would 100% recommend Brandi, and if anyone I know ever needs an attorney for any kind of law that she practices, hers will be the first and only name that I recommend to anyone.

Brandi gets the job done!

Brandi helped me with a custody case where my ex and his well to do family hired an over the top lawyer to take custody of my children away from me. She was diligent and tough and fought for my children and me. Case resulted in me having primary custody. In the court room, she was knowledgeable,... prepared and professional. Her demeanor was solid despite my ex's attorney being an overpaid bully. I would recommend Brandi Stokes as your legal counsel because she gets the job done!

A nightmare finally over

I was involved in a four year custody battle with my Ex. It was a case of their side having unlimited funds and me broke. I had been on supervised visits for three years with no proof of malice on my part and only accusations on theirs. I paid thousands for lawyers that seemed far too afraid to go up... against my Ex's lawyer. Through common ground on other situations I found Brandi. She had assisted me with a complaint on a different situation. When all else failed and my current lawyer seemed to intimidated to fight for what was right, I fired her and Brandi took the case on. In one month she succeeded winning me 50/50 custody of my children, something four other lawyers couldn't do in four years, and she made it seem so simple to do. Brandi is knowledgeable, tough, dedicated, and committed to protecting children and parents that have been ignored by the system. today my children and I have been loving our time together. I highly recommend Brandi Sokes as your legal counsel.

Helpful, attentive, knowlegable

I hired Brandy for a custody case in 2012/2013. She was a great advocate for my case, she did an excellent job directing me to get her relevant info. She was very quick to respond to emails/calls/voicemails, and I always felt like she was on my side. Ultimately I got the desired outcome, and it wa...s all thanks to Brandy's hard work.
