Posted by Mehreen | March 14, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Best decision I made!

My very long divorce/custody court battle began in December 2016. I hired a basic attorney and she wasn't in it for me and my children. She was in it for the money. Upon reading what seemed like a million yelp reviews it seemed like most attorneys bill you for everything and take months/years to reso...lve anything...why? Because they can! I had to present myself in court once and although my brother's attorney friend helped prepare me for the task I don't think anyone can fully prepare for something like that. Judges DO like to speak to LAWYERS. If one side has an attorney no matter how valid your points are the judge WILL give the attorney more respect and time to speak. #fact My first time meeting Mr. Bratton I KNEW he was the attorney for me. He was assertive and to the point. I could tell he knew what he was saying and doing. He walked in to court like a boss and his demeanor demanded respect. I know my ex and his attorney felt intimidated by Mr. Bratton now handling my case. He looked at everything and fought for what was right. He told me what to expect and he got me out of a few very nasty situations by dealing directly with the opposing counsel. Most importantly I trusted Mr. Bratton with my custody agreement. Without saying too much let's just say he was 100% right about everything. He has dealt with so many divorce custody cases and he can smell bs from a million miles away....if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck...IT'S A DUCK! In the end Mr. Bratton wrapped up everything in less than a year of being on my case. I had the most peace of mind during the time he spent on my case. He was honest with me and he called me right away when I had a question about something. He is a good man and he is great at what he does. He is not just doing it to make money (even though he loves to travel, lol) Overall: 1. Is he expensive? YES, rightfully so. It did cost a lot...but he is qualified and you're paying for top notch service. It goes hand in hand. You want the best, be willing to pay the price. It depends on how much your case means to you. 2. What to expect- you will be billed for the emails and phone calls so be careful when you're making calls. They deduct from the retainer so make sure you really need that information. Otherwise trust who you're paying the big bucks to! 3. My experience - Mr. Bratton is my lifelong attorney if I ever need one. He and his staff are beyond helpful and friendly. Understand it's their livelihood and your life. Ideally two parents should figure out what's best for their children but when that seems impossible because one side simply wants to fight...trust that there will be a fight. Just hire the best to fight for you! Mr. Bratton knew I'd put NO price on fighting for my children; however he didn't prolong my case just to make that money. And that is what I respect him for most. He didn't take advantage of my situation just for his own benefit. If you're serious about hiring someone good then go hire him! Trust me....YOU WILL be happy when you do! Your peace of mind is more important than a few thousand dollars...remember his boss status in court will probably end up saving you in the long run...if you hire some random attorney not only will he/she not be known in the courts but you'll end up paying so much more in the long run! It's a win win if you hire Mr. Bratton! Thank you Mr. Bratton for all that you did for me and my children. God bless you!

Thank you!

After going through a few mediocre attorneys, I finally found Bill Bratton. He was excellent. The divorce ended very quickly and exactly how he said. My only regret would be not hiring him in the beginning. It would have saved me a lot of money and time.

Review for attorney William Paul Bratton

Bill Bratton conducted himself in a very professional manner. I consulted with him first before hiring him to represent me in my divorce. He was very knowledgeable, gave all the options, and explained the process clearly so I could proceed with confidence. Bill was available when I had questions... and returned phone calls in a timely manner. He was direct and "to the point" and I appreciated his candor. Going through a divorce is difficult, but I'm glad I had Bill's expertise to guide me through the experience.

Best In The Business

I hired Bill and from the beginning I could see I was in good hands. Between Bill and his friendly team, you always feel you are being well taken care of. His professionalism and knowledge of the courtroom clearly stands out if you are ever in front of the judge. He will guide you through the process... before, during, and after your case has proceeded and most likely you will come out better than expected. Hired the best and give his office a call. You will not regret it.
