Worthy of your trust

From my first consultation with Bill Bratton, I knew that I was in capable hands. I appreciated his straightforwardness and humor. He put me at ease and I left his office with clear direction and confidence. Later, I realized, that he really cared about me and my future. He called me to discuss ...my case. I didn't have to keep trying to get ahold of him. All of my emails were answered. I also, really appreciate his caring and professional staff. My divorce is now over and I am happy with the outcome. Bill Bratton made a very trying time much easier with his great advice, negotiating skills and personality. I would recommend him to my closest friend.

Professional - High Integrity - NO BS

After hiring the wrong attorney (NOT Mr Bratton) who was not a family law attorney and assured me a marriage is "Just a business deal gone wrong" he could handle my divorce matter. I quickly learned that was a HUGE and costly mistake. I then contacted another attorney whom I had knowledge of a...nd learned he was no longer practicing but he provided me the most valuable referral to Mr. Bratton's firm. I contacted Mr Bratton's office to make the initial consultation appointment which was provided to me within just a few days of my call. I was treated with kindness by his staff during ever call or visit I made to his office. During my initial consultation he was professional, extremely honest and what immediately was known to me is that Mr. Bratton would not tell me what I wanted to hear. Yet, he was telling me what I needed to hear. Even if I didn't like the answer. He was extremely informative, was able to quickly weed through the issues that didn't matter and address the truly important issues. I had no question this was the attorney I wanted to represent me. Not only did I come to him needing the representation in the divorce matter, he also had to clean up, fix, undo and resolve the complete mess my first attorney made of my case. Mr. Bratton listened well, of course when you are going through the stress of a divorce matter this is important. I was amazed how well he remember so many details of my case, not from looking at documents but from his memory. He was more accurate in recalling balances, accounts and details than I was. Set aside all the professional attributes. He takes interest and time to get to know you, your interests, activities, lifestyle ect. I feel like I have made a forever friend and when we were in court he was firm yet passionate and honest in his representation of my interests. I have read many of the other favorable reviews and they are spot on. I had a lot to lose in this matter and ended up gaining so much more than I ever expected I would. It was a fair settlement for both myself and my ex husband but bottom line I prevailed. The evening after that long emotional and exhausting day in family law court Mr Bratton called me to check in, chat and just recap how things went. Mr. Bratton returned every call I made to him, his staff is unbelievably fast in getting documents to you. They kept me well informed of what was going on as it was happening and Mr. Bratton is beyond fair in his billing. He does not nickel and dime you to poverty. We had several telephone conversations that I was not billed for. He informed me of this practice during my consultation and he did exactly as he said he would. Look no further, you can not afford NOT to hire Mr. Bratton to represent you.

AWESOME SERVICE

The words compassionate, kind, considerate, fair, practical, are not commonly referred to when I hear talk of lawyers but this is exactly the treatment we received from Bill , Pam and their entire office. They went above and beyond our expectations. Bill impressed upon us how expensive principal is a...nd it is in everyone's best interest to wrap up as soon as possible and move on with our lives, life is short and it isn't worth your time, effort and health (stress). Our case was difficult and it was a trial case. Our BEST interests were his motive , purely from the heart , his goal was to wrap up our case quick .He was able to accomplish what two prior lawyers hadn't been able to do. We are forever grateful for the grace he showed us , his knowledge, and professionalism along the way. They are a dynamic husband and wife team and we would highly recommend them! Thank you , Thank you , Thank you!

Getting divorced sucks. Being divorced is awesome.

My divorce, like most, was very painful; emotionally draining and taking far longer than I had anticipated due to my ex's sudden reluctance to work with me to come up with a mutually agreeable decision. I had consulted several attorneys before deciding upon Bill Bratton and have never regretted that ...decision. Bill has been honest and forthright with me, helping me stay focused on my goals and not be derailed by the processes of divorce. His office staff is kind and supportive, with a steady supply of tissues if needed! Even after my divorce was finalized, Bill has been available for legal advice regarding changes to visitation and custody. Getting a divorce does indeed suck, but if it must be done, you'll want someone to guide you through it. Bill does the job wonderfully.
