Brad and his Team of Super Heroes!

Brad took over my case from another attorney during a difficult time. My daughter's father (my ex-husband) did not return her after her agreed upon visit the summer of 2014. He took away her means of communicating with me and others. Over a period of days, he would set a return date, then change it. ...My daughter was distressed and lost her trust in him. Because of previous attempts to get a resolution that supported my daughter, I did not have a lot of faith in the system. Brad is honest, has a serious level of attention to detail, great energy, and a strategic mind that works for the best interest of, in this case, my child. In the end, Brad and his pretty wonderful team of legal super heroes were able to provide me with a sense of relief and protection for my daughter. I could not ask for anything more.

Bradley Coldwell is my Hero!!

In late December 2015, Bradley Coldwell stepped in when my then attorney could not continue with my case as he was running for public office and my common-law husband of 16+ years was pulling every dirty trick he could think of to make the divorce as difficult and expensive as possible. After agreei...ng in April 2015 to mediation within 60 days, he refused to turn over discovery forcing me to subpoena the requested documents, denied we were married, demanded a jury trial at the last minute before the final trial date, then firing his attorney and hiring a new one who he said was “the number one family law attorney in Williamson County”. My husband than announced that he had deliberately conflicted out every good attorney in town. Thank goodness, he skipped Brad in the conflicting process. Brad got a second temporary orders hearing scheduled for early February 2016. Not only did he get the agreement that I regretting making in April 2015 reversed, he also got me temporary support, a large amount of attorney’s fees and the judge denied every one of my husband’s requests. Watching Brad and his paralegal, Ryan Dixon, in action at that hearing was more than I could have asked for. Calm, cool and always in control. Brad became my hero that day. Through discovery updates and everything else that happened Brad and Ryan kept me up to date, never missed a deadline and were always there to answer my questions and calm my fears. Our half-day mediation in June 2016 lasted 14 hours and turned out better than I could have dreamed of. By agreement, I received over half of the martial estate and other provisions that I don’t believe another attorney could have gotten for me. I believe that my now ex-husband understands that he did not hire “the number one family law attorney in Williamson County”, I did …. and his name is Bradly Coldwell. I highly recommend Bradley Coldwell of Coldwell Bowes. He will always be my HERO. Everyone at Coldwell Bowes are extremely professional and very nice.

Extraordinary knight in shining armor!

I was referred to Mr. Coldwell and his firm by another attorney with whom I'd worked in the past. When I discovered infidelity and insolvency on my now-ex's behalf, Mr. Coldwell fit me in the same day for an initial consultation. He was kind, cool, collected, and very clear that he could help me. ... He was patient for several months while I debated whether to file, and when I was ready he and the team sprung into action. From the day I filed to the day that I stood before a judge and was officially divorced, Mr. Coldwell and his team were nothing short of my knights fighting for every key thing. Every "non negotiable" which I initially identified, they won. Every concern I had, they were able to clarify. Every fear that I had, they were there to say "this is what we do" and took exemplary care of me and my causes. I simply cannot thank them enough; the entire Coldwell-Bowes team has my gratitude forever.

highest recommendation

It is my pleasure to write in support of Brad Coldwell and his team. I met and hired Brad during a crisis earlier this month – my husband had taken physical possession of our 18-month-old and refused to return her days later. As we worked towards a Temporary Orders Hearing, I was impressed with Brad...'s attention to detail and overall case prep. We did great in court, and now we're well prepared to move through mediation quickly. With confidence, I recommend Coldwell & Bowes for your family law needs.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have worked with Brad for over five years, and I cannot say enough about his character, ethics, attention to detail, hard work and commitment to obtaining the very best results for his clients. I am constantly amazed at his command in the courtroom - whether with a judge or jury, and ensuring that the fact finder has everything at his or her disposal to understand the nuances of the case in order to come to the most appropriate conclusion. Whether it be advocating for a spouse who has endured years of abuse, addressing complex property issues, or addressing a more simple child support matter, I am confident that Brad will bring the very best of who he is to the situation to achieve the very best result, whether through settlement or trial, for the client."
