Excellent

A very complex, tenacious, governmental problem created by others had been dropped onto my lap. It was costing thousands of dollars per month. I sought Ms. Wilcox’s help. She and her staff persisted through layers of interference and delay from our government until their mistakes were corrected. She ...and her staff were very pleasant and professional and were extremely effective in resolving my problem. I recommend Briar Wilcox Esq. without reservation.

She's a bulldog

Briar is absolutely a no non-sense attorney. She is not going to coddle you by any means, but that's what you want in an attorney. She prepped me very well for court for which I am very grateful. Even on the days she was in court she would return my calls after hours or via email. I am very thankful ...I hired her for my family law case and would recommend her to anyone!

Disappointed

At the initial consultation, I was comforted by her compassion and seemed to understand my situation. However, after dealing with my husband and his attorney, I realized she was not consulting me about assets; but agreeing with opposing attorney. She never followed through, never prepared me for co...urt, and even suggested that she could refer me to another lawyer if I wanted to pursue by letting the judge stop the illegal actions committed by my husband. I am still having to deal with the fall-out of haphazard actions by her, and her hateful remarks to the affect that she was finished and I was on my own. I would NEVER recommend her to anyone else.

Divorce

Briar and her staff saved my life and my children. I called to let them know the violence that had been occurring in our home due to extreme alcohol abuse. I also had just found out about another cheating situation and I knew my children and I were sinking with the ship. I needed help and safety FAST.... Briar and her staff immediately took action the day I called. I felt safe again. They have walked me through every step and treated me with respect and care for my children’s BEST wellbeing. They helped me get my life back and all abuse was STOPPED.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

$300 Fee charged for consult and she called late

Briar called two hours late for the consult, and I was charged $300 for the 30 minute conversation. She spoke most of the time not listening. She acted as she was supportive of opposing side. I highly regret paying the consult fee since there are so many really good attorney's that do not charge a co...nsult fee.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
