As a mother, nothing is more important than to be there for your child whenever she needs and to give her all the love and nurturing a mother can. I was scared and stressed going through separation and custody fight. When I found Brenda through AVVO and met her for an initial consultation, I felt str...ongly that she will be able to help me reach what I wanted for custody. My intuition was right. Brenda has been straightforward since the first time I met her, as she told me what I can expect and what I should not. She acted not only professionally, but also showed caring attitude throughout my case. It was as if she can feel what I was suffering before and during a rough divorce. She was very assertive, strong, knowledgeable, and knows what a mother wants the best for her child as she is one herself. She helped me step-by-step. Whenever I had questions or doubts, she and her staff were always quick in response. When my ex and his attorney tried to control things with threat, I wouldn't have been able to stand my feet so strong without her team. I totally agree with another person said in her review: She is confident because she knows what she is doing and will not be intimidated by games that unfortunately some attorneys try and play. I learnt the most important thing: NEVER give in to the opponent, always stand strong on your feet, because then they will always bargain with you. In the end, what matters the most is that I got what I asked: That I am the primary parent because I have always been since the day I became a mother, and that it is and would be in my daughter's best interest to be with her mom mostly and we could relocate together. What a relief! In addition, she also fought for me for part of the attorney fees that the opponent should pay due to their irresponsible actions and not following agreements and the court granted me. I really appreciate Brenda and her team and feel lucky that I have her behind my back. You can count on her and her staff.

I have just settled a post decree motion and can't say enough positive things about Brenda and her entire team. My case has been lengthy and complicated and emotional - as most cases can be. I have been dealing with an emotionally abusive/ addicted ex, who put our kids in jeopardy, and hid all hi...s financials from me- to the extent that I wasn't even receiving child support. After years of trying to solve the matter on my own, and "nicely"- I faced facts and Brenda helped me get tough and truthful. If you really want someone to fight for you, and for your children- Brenda really is the attorney for you! I thank her for all she did for me and my children.

The day I walked out of Brenda's office after my initial consultation I cried tears of relief. I felt like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders after our meeting and that I had found the perfect attorney to represent me in my less than typical case and help me protect my kid's future. She has... a wealth of knowledge surrounding mental health law and her experience and expertise in this area were invaluable to my situation. Going through a divorce is an exhausting process so having someone as compassionate, professional and experienced as Brenda in your corner is critical. I met with two other attorneys before I spoke to Brenda and am SO thankful I found Brenda when I did. She was extremely professional and maintained this demeanor even when my spouse's attorney was less than. She respected my budget and was motivated to help me reach a fair and reasonable settlement in my case which could have gone in a completely different direction costing me mental anguish and money I did not have at my disposal. I can't thank Brenda and her team enough for all their hard work, support and compassion during this process and would recommend her 100 times over!!

I have nothing but great things to say about Brenda and her staff. Divorce is not a fun thing but with Brenda by my side she made it as enjoyable as possible. We actually laughed a lot together! May people view lawyers as non-compassionate robots but Brenda is nothing close to that. She is kind an...d caring but a bulldog when she needs to be. Whether that is with you or the other party. She will hold your hand look you in the eyes and tell you your irrational fears are just that. She was willing to go above and beyond for me to get the job done. She offered to call me at 230am while I drove into work to finalize some details before our finally hearing since I work crazy hours (which I said was crazy but she simply replied "That's just the kind of attorney I am - willing if needed!" I will forever hold a special place in my heart for her and her staff! You will not be disappointed!
