Fantastic service

I recently went through a divorce after 26 years of marriage. Brad Crider's name was given to me by a divorce advocate after searching for a nearby attorney. I made numerous calls and no one returned my call. Once I had Brad's information I called his office and received a callback the next morning b...y Brad. We discussed my situation and he listened. I paid my retainer and felt good about my conversation with Brad. During this process Kelly (paralegal) was fantastic. Everyone was very informative and kept me in the loop. I felt like I was their only client. Shelby (legal assistant) was just a great. During our mediation Brad was fantastic. He was also great at preparing me for the mediation along with Kelly giving me details on what to expect. I did work with Kelly the most and I have to say that she was excellent and listened to me vent from time to time. These office is exceptional. During this time of stress it is very welcoming to be working with such a compassionate and educated staff on Divorce law. I would highly recommend anyone that is going through a divorce to contact Brad. I really cant say enough positive things about my experience working with this great team. I gave 5 stars because that was the max... this office deserves a 10. I greatly appreciate their efforts and will not forget it.

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.

Brad is the man you want!! Simply Amazing!!

I cannot write a better review for Brad and his associate Kelly. They were able to literally change my life. He was able to win a case for me that was considered "impossible" ending all spousal support!! Woohooo!! Also, on extremely short notice, they were able to quickly terminate my child suppo...rt payments. Brad didn't nickel and dime me for everything like a lot of attorneys would have and he even gave me a military discount! Best of all, Brad and Kelly made me feel important at a time in my life when I really needed it and I consider them a huge blessing in my life!

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.

Do not hire Brad Crider!! He works on the 11th hour, is never prepared and does not return phone calls! I had 4 meetings scheduled via telephone. I waited for hours each time and he never called. He didn't show for a scheduled hearing. He sent another lawyer who was 25 minutes late. I had no re...presentation. He was late for sending in exhibits to the court so they were not admissible. My original divorce decree stipulated that I was to keep my house. Because of Brad, I am now losing my house. He was not prepared again at our last hearing. We had to confer outside the hearing room. The judge was upset with him every time because he was not prepared. I should have fired him earlier, but he kept saying he wasn't going to charge me. So he's a liar also. I paid this man over $29,000 and I accrued over $9,000 in opposing counsel fees and interest.
