Bridgette took my case over the phone. She was my 3rd attorney and of the 3 she provided what I believe to be the most transparent, realistic strategy for what would become a 7+ year battle with one of the most crazy making contentious attorneys in the pikes peak regain in a court room governed by on...e of the most “legislates from the bench” judges ever on the books for Elpaso county. Bridgette helped level set expectations on how family court really works vs what we have learned through urban understanding and TV. Bridgette does not just say she is an advocate of a father’s rights, she practices it. There was no shortage of emotion in my case, but Bridgette was able to manage me as her client and kept me focused on the end state. We did not win every battle, but my children did win the war and that would not have been possible without Bridgette’s level of expert understanding of the state statutes along with the lunatic dynamics of the family courtroom where the judge alone is the jury and executioner. Bridgette was timely in responses to motions and court appearances. She executed motions with the precision of a surgical tool. Bridgette was always available to address concerns and strategies. I never once felt that that my needs or concerns were beneath her. Bridgette’s moral compass along with her high standard of ethics was refreshing in today’s world of money hungry attorneys. Her billing was always more than fair and always accurate. As a matter of fact, you get more than you pay for with Bridgette which is rare in family law.

This attorney is non-responsive. When she does file paperwork it is incorrect which actually gives the opposing side the leg up. Communications she had on my behalf were filled with incorrect information, again making it worse for me. She definitely did not review the case history. I would receive an...swers from her and research them with other attorneys – she had given me wrong information. She routinely played games with the other side that AGAIN worked out in their favor. I feel like I got a dollar bin attorney. I am not sure if it is because she only started practicing here a few years ago and then I find out she routinely represents fathers in cases who have been accused of abuse. Not the lawyer for me – shouldn’t be for you either.

Bridgette was fighting a child custody case for me. She brought action against my ex for violating the parenting agreement. However, when it came to trial, she "forgot" evidence to submit and stood in the courtroom like a limp noodle not fighting for me at all. In fact, she let my ex lie on the st...and and knowing that, never called her out. I was also going to be on military duties which Bridgette had known about for over 6 months. She waited too long and delayed in getting trial dates that the trial ended up occurring while I was gone. I had to appear by phone and was unable to do any trial prep with her. She blamed it on me. She caused me to lose the motion against my ex, thus incurring the ex's attorney's fees. I told Bridgette because it was her fault, she should pay. She refused. I would NEVER recommend anyone use this attorney. She has no backbone, no common sense and "forgets" evidence about your case. The only thing she seems to remember is getting her money.
