Amazing

The relationship with my ex has been deemed high conflict and for a reason. To say co-parenting with my ex is exhausting would be an understatement. I have been in court for roughly five years battling various accusations including parental alienation, child neglect and abuse. I was facing losing pri...mary residence and all decision making rights. Because of this, I wanted to be represented by someone who was willing to get into the trenches with me and fight the accusations. Brad and his team did just that. His lead paralegal, Kelly, even gave me some advice that turned the case upside down in the best way possible. Brad, Kelly, and Shelby worked extremely hard for me and my kids. They were available to answer questions and to even offer emotional support when needed. They do not sugar coat possible outcomes, which can be hard to hear sometimes but I wouldn’t have it any other way. When we finally had trial in September, Brad was able to expose my ex for who she truly is thus making future cases easier to fight. I was able to keep primary residence, final decision making and more. I honestly don’t know if that would have happened if I had hired someone else. Brad and his team have won my trust and my respect. As mentioned, I know there will be more court cases in the future and I will use Brad for every single one. My advice would be to hire Brad from the very beginning if you want someone 100% on your side. Thank you Brad, Kelly, and Shelby for everything! Our family will forever be grateful for all y’all have done for us.

Successful Child Support Case, Termination of Parental Rights, and Adoption

Brad and his team helped us through a few vital processes that led to the complete family we have today. He worked with us on our child support case, termination of parental rights, and then ended with an adoption case for my daughter. I could not have done any of these on my own. Brad is well kno...wn in family court and his expertise was vital in all of our court proceedings. Me and my husband had to do very little, with Brad and his team taking on all of the work. It is so important for court documents to be filed correctly, to be represented in a professional way, and to have clear instructions on what is needed of you when going to court. Brad prepared us and we were confident in his services because he provided all of that. Don't worry if communication is light between you and his team. They are busy and at the end of the day, they know exactly what they are doing. They won't waste your money on a million calls or emails. They will only contact you when absolutely necessary in order to make the most out of your retainer. Thank you Brad and Crider Law for all of your hard work and ultimately being the reason we have a complete (legal) family today. I wouldn't have been able to pick anyone more suited for the job with the exact results we hoped for.

Great guy and Attorney

I owe everything to Brad and his staff. I retained in May 2019, he changed everything. Mine was a nasty divorce battle with several motions and hearings leading up to my final trial June 2020. The hearings are short, so Brad knew all the key points to hit on with the small amount of time we had at th...e hearings. His motions and pre-trial statements were all spot-on. Brad knew my case very well and was great with his words/questioning during the several trials we had. He was also compassionate and knew I was going through hard times, he did great at re-assuring me that everything will work out fine, and it did. Also, he was aware of all my circumstances and did not try and jack-up the bill like a lot of family law attorneys tend to do. He is a good guy, I will recommend him to anyone.

Brad Crider is Amazing and you need to hire him!!

It is my pleasure to introduce Brad Crider, his highly competent paralegal Kelly and extremely professional legal assistant Shelby Beecher. Brad and his knowledgeable team are compassionate and also possess the legal knowledge to navigate you through the stress that is caused dealing with a divorce a...nd the many issues that arise. They eagerly answered all of my questions, helped ease my concerns and did not overcharge me for needles legal fees. Whenever I was scared and even in tears, Brad and his team were always there to comfort me and provide the support I needed. Furthermore, his calm disposition when dealing with me and extensive knowledge of the intricacies of the legal system and his positive relationships with other lawyers and judges led to an amazing outcome. Brad maintains a soothing demeanor with his clients but is extremely assertive in the courtroom and I highly recommend hiring him to represent you.

Useless

After our consult he made me think I had a slam dunk case. Once I hired him, communication was few and far between. His office staff had no clue what was going on whenever I called. I wasted thousands, and he never really did anything for me - other than agree with opposing counsel without a fight... or even negotiation!
