Bradley Justin Crider

The Crider Law office handled my divorce. As is often the case, the relationship with my ex-wife deteriorated profoundly. When I was referred to Crider office by our employee assistant program, I was in deep pain, confusion and disappointment. My marriage was fairly long and I loved my wife and fa...mily life. I was clinging to the chance that a tiny spark remained and that spark could turn to flame. In our initial meeting, Mr. Crider was understanding and listened with heart and head. He engaged his right-hand support Kelly – who is wonderful, fantastic and full of heart and humor. When I mentioned joining a support group, she encouraged me to join it. The approach to the divorce they took was eminently fair. Brad and Kelly helped me appreciate fundamentally that when children are involved, the goal of a divorce is not about getting even. It is about the well-being of the children. Also important is redeeming my capacity to be whole and integrated to live and love again. From working with Brad and Kelly, I came to realize that I should comport myself during the divorce and hearing in such a way that I would not be ashamed of reading the transcript of the case years later. More importantly, I am not ashamed or embarrassed of my children reading the transcript when they get older. In that spirit, they advised me to make fair offers to my wife – which she refused. In the end, she should have accepted my offer because it was more generous than that of the court. So without compromising dignity, I feel vindicated. More importantly, I can continue with rewarding relationships with my children and have a clear conscience.

Brad and his team have represented me for 3 years and counting in a pretty diverse and sensitive custody case. Brad has been 100 percent committed to the safety of my child and brings facts and evidence, and his extensive knowledge to each hearing. Family court is emotionally exhausting and I can be... confident knowing I have the best representation. He’s smart, thorough, compassionate, and takes pride in his clients and their well being. His paralegal Kelly is one of my favorite people and have greatly enjoyed her advise and conversation on how I should proceed. Shelby is another great asset to the team and always willing to help. Without them, my son could have been exposed to some very toxic and unpleasant situations and I am FOREVER grateful to the Crider team.

I will be forever grateful that I found Brad to represent me in my family law case. I hired Brad three years ago and he has been my attorney ever since. When I originally met with Brad to discuss my case, I immediately felt comfortable and knew I had found the best lawyer for my family. I had a diffi...cult case and some difficult situations to work through pertaining to my divorce and child custody and Brad first asked me what I wanted to achieve and then helped come up with a plan to get there. Since then he has stuck by my side for every hearing, trial, and issue that I have had. He is very well respected by the judges and other lawyers and is beyond amazing in the court room. He has taken the time to know all of the details of my case so that he never misses a single detail when we are in court. His paralegal Kelly is one of a kind, beyond knowledgeable and really takes the time to help you understand the process and answer any questions you may have. Both Brad and Kelly are very invested in their clients and make you feel as though you are family and will stick with you until the end. They have both been very upfront and honest with me each step of the way and have always explained all possible outcomes to each hearing and motion to me. I could not have asked for a better outcome to a difficult situation for myself or my children and I could not have achieved any of that without Brad and Kelly by my side. I am forever grateful for all they have done for me and recommend them to anyone and everyone I know.

Brad helped us in a very ugly situation with my nephew,cps and family issues,he set our minds at ease and did exactly what he said he would do,my nephew is with us and we are currently are adopting him with Brad's help. I couldn't think of a better person to go to if you need help. I have recommended... him to all that need help.

Brad Crider, is the best Family Law Attorney there is and here is why below and following. If any attorney you use doesn't know anything about the judge you’re going in front of (unless he/she is new), then run away because they are probably not a very experienced attorney. I was referred by a Father... who he represented who had everything against him not to get Joint Custody but Brad was able to convince the court in his Trial. Although, my case had holes in it, Brad, immediately took on my case, while another person turned it down. Kelly (paralegal) and Brad, are by far the best team you can have on your side. They will not tell you want you want to hear but tell you what you need to hear and are honest all the way. HOW BRAD HELPED ME IN MY CASE: I fired my attorney and hired Brad to take on my case December of 2017. Mother had won sole legal decision making and I acquired weekend time and that was all as a temporary order that lasted a long time. I got the short end of the stick. The mother made a lot of claims, filed an order of protections twice with my child on their, a false DCS case, I was not able to talk to the school, at one point not able to see or talk to my child. This was just 20 days before my trial date September of 2018. Brad, stepped in and he was able to convince the court for us to get a court appointed advisor and move our court date to a future date. I was at a lost at times because of lack of seeing my son and false allegations made against me. I thought I was going to lose all my right as a Father. It's very damaging to the entire family and almost damaged my career and life. Brad's team convinced me not to file additional court proceedings against the mother and to remain calm. He said the gloves come off at trial and not to worry, although I stilled worried. He definitely held to his word. I was awarded Sole Legal Decision Making and with Mother having Supervised Parenting Time as the best interest of our child. It was sad that the Mother could not agree to joint everything and instead she fought me for more. Brad was up against an attorney from Stewart Law Group. Communication: Schedule appointments with Brad and/or Kelly and have your questions written down prepared ahead of time or send them as an email all at once. Emailing them every hour is not the best use of your money or their time, trust me. Financial Costs: Brad, is very reasonable compared to others and is definitely better than them. He is not out to nickel and dime you but to get results. Your money will be best spent here, don't waste your time on craigslist, don’t do it. Court Filings: Brad is willing to do what you need to do, but he will caution you as to what you shouldn't do and/or the consequences if you do. Tips: Get a therapist to help you with dealing with a divorce, it'll save you time and money. Don't use attorneys as a therapist, although they are respectful because they know. Lastly, I'm so thankful for Brad Crider and Kelly. They really helped me through the most troubling of times even after trial. Because of them I know how to deal with the Mother going forward. There is not enough money nor enough thank you’s I can give to either of them, that I feel repays them. I would never hire another attorney for a Family Matter. I will always refer Brad Crider Office to friends and family. Good luck with those others.
