Highly recommend Brad to anyone

I've unfortunately been to family court a number of times with different attorneys over the years and I can confidently say that Brad is amazing at what he does. He's professional, personable, understanding, and has a great ability to explain the up's and down's of the process. He's experienced in ...and out of the courtroom, proved to be even better than my high expectations, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

father seeking custody

Brad is currently working on my custody case we just had court for temporary orders and he got me way more than I expected. I was nervous about court and Brad made it very comfortable for me. I'm looking forward to the final court and seeing how Brad does.

Resounding Success with Complex Case on Short Notice

This indigent Pro Per father of two received overtly punitive orders under Maricopa County Superior Court's heavy-handed, Governor-Appointed Family Court Judge Boyd W. Dunn with high child support based on high imputed income, full 401(k), pay her attorney fees, high interest, etc. Punitively orderi...ng retroactive child support and after 1 year, Judge Dunce's untenable orders accumulated to $25k owed. These unpaid led to an aggressive Petition to Enforce requesting contempt, purge, fines and indefinite incarceration. Following several Pro Per Motions, Judge Dunce was rightly recused from the case and I prepared my Response to her Petition. Angelically, Attorney Bradley Crider accepted my case 3 days before trial and he absolutely crushed it! Succinctly prepping me and in trial, Bradley Crider enabled Judge John Hannah to see the factual evidence, and see through OC's dirty tricks. In sum, I was fully exonerated of all charges levied in the mean-spirited Petition. My literal freedom was preserved through this attorney, Bradley Crider on 04/14/2014. I can honestly recommend him. It seems like Brad knew what he was doing against a highly-seasoned, bulldog-aggressive, heartless Opposing Counsel. We won 100% of all points. First good judge I've seen in this Court system too.

Father Custody battle

I hired Brad 6 days before my hearing for custody of our 4yr old daughter. I got taken by the previous lawyers and took a chance hiring him. He got up to speed over the weekend and was READY to go in court. I had nothing to do but hope. Well, the knowledge that he had on my case and the law in genera...l blew me away. I won full custody of my daughter, as a father that is NOT easy to do. The mother was ordered to pay me child support but I declined. Happy with Brad... no question about it!

Professional

I've known Crider most of my life. I not only call him my friend but have used him with a few issues in my life. He has given me advise and helped me with custody related problems as well as persued other matters regarding not bring paid from an employer. He has also helped my gf with her child custo...dy issues as well with her ex. I would recommend his service to anyone who needs help in all matters he is related to.
