Horrible service

If there was NO stars thats what he would get. I hired him to help me get a divorce and get custody of my kids. The father of my kids got away with drug use, tried to kill himself and was put at a Psychward for days, and much more. When it came to court he didnt stand up for me at all and was l...ate 30 mins to my court date and made me look bad. Yet I still got 50/50 custody, I got completely screwed. Later I found out that Brad and his team didn't turn in a lot of paperwork and evidence to the courts when I had email him everything they needed. Yet he assured me everything was turned in. He charged me over 15k and I didn't get anything I wanted. Now, my kids are paying the consequences. Please, don't hire him, he pays for his good reviews. Their office is NO help, they never get back to you, yet they charge you on everything.

Simply Amazing

Brad Crider and his entire staff are amazing! They are truly dedicated to their clients, their wellbeing, their needs, their situations and most importantly what was in the best interest of my children. They do not judge people on how they came to be a position of needing to hire an attorney. Brad ha...ndled my divorce and custody case as if it were his own children he was looking out for. He is honest, he has integrity, he is insightful! He's a take charge kind of attorney and he will not back down. Hands down absolutely the best attorney I have ever dealt with.

Extremely Happy

I hired Brad Crider to handle my daughter's divorce and it was the best decision I could have made. Brad and his entire staff are professional and caring and they are extremely supportive. At my daughter's request, they allowed me to stay plugged into the divorce process so I could assist my daughter... with understanding the process and so she didn't feel alone. I can be a bit of a pushy old lady and they didn't seem to mind it at all, actually seemed as if they welcomed it! They always had my daughter and my grandchildren's best interests at heart. They explained things in terms my daughter could understand, they made sure she was prepared for all court dates and trial. In the end, we couldn't have asked for better representation, my daughter got what she needed, custody of her children and a divorce that is finally over! VICTORY IS SWEET!!

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.

Fantastic Family Attorney

Brad and his team have been amazing. I was in a dire situation and my kids were put in a very difficult position. Brad and his team not only resolved the issue, but had next steps in place to ensure we would never go through this again. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his team to anyone in need of h...elp!
