Trustworthy Professional Attorney

Yes I know Trustworthy and Attorney don’t go together but there is a few out there and this man is one of them. I was referred to him by a friend and so glad after working with him he was everything and more. He took the time to explain things to listen give his professional opinion and direction but... said it was my choice. He kept me informed and looked out for my best interest all the time. His fees are reasonable and he does not over charge. Bill Bratton is an Attorney you can count on. Trustworthy, professional, proficient. He does not waste time and drag things out he is very efficient. You will be starting off on the foot if you get Bill Bratton.

The Attorney You Want To Hire

I am a former client of Bill Bratton. If you need an Attorney who is extremely knowledgeable & and that will truly fight for your best interest then hire Bill Bratton. He is very knowledgeable in Family law & has great follow up with the client. He is not the cheapest attorney but he is defini...tely not the highest priced. Bill will be honest with you and let you know what is in your best interest as far as Family law is concerned. Straight talk – no B.S. and no fluff. I liked that he took the time to get to know me and my situation and actually cared about the ultimate outcome of the finalized divorce. If you are looking for an outstanding Family Law Attorney then do not pass up the opportunity to consult with Bill Bratton. You will be very satisfied with his services and his support staff.

Just Make Sure You Begin the Process Educated

Mr. Bratton was highly recommended and I felt I positive that my case would be handled and my rights protected. Instead, after 2 years, I was no closer to my divorce than the day he was hired. I had to send email after email to get answers as to why there was zero progress, why the only thing filed... with the court was the divorce summons, why I didn't have a temporary spousal support order, what was I even entitled to under the Community Property laws, what are we asking for and why discovery has never happened? I requested subpoenas to go out - which should have been an automatic if discovery isn't being turned over -. (there were also other court docs which could have gotten us the information), but in any event, I am not the attorney, I shouldn't have been the one to give ideas as to acquiring the information that is being withheld. I was even sent information meant for my spouse to my home because I was told they didn't have his home address. Well, it's been 2 years, you've mail him, spoke with him multiple times and supplied him with paperwork. Once the vital asset information came via the subpoenas, it was never discussed, or brought to the attention of my ex about his withholding/hiding community property. Now the retainer is gone, my credit cards are maxed out, I had to ask the office NOT to contact me unless we had court date, an offer, just something of substance to get us into court because I couldn't afford to answer questions at the astronomical hourly rate if nothing was going to be done. Oh, on a side note, once I was able to access my case, I saw there were multiple court dates where no one appeared, yet it was never discussed with me. So, after being financially destroyed, receiving monthly bills from Bratton's office (with interest), no temporary spousal support order, no further in my divorce 2 years later, I said I was done. It was beyond disheartening to know that someone you thought you could trust really never cared about anything other than the retainer. I would warn every client to start the dissolution process by educating yourself on how the dissolution process it is supposed to flow and to be on top of your case. After all, it is your money that is being dwindled down with every call, every email, etc. I trusted the professionals that I paid to do the job that they are the experts in, yet they didn't. I took my case over as Pro Per and I accomplished more in 3 months, than the attorneys did in 3 years. That's shameful, really

If in fact you are really a past client of mine, you certainly have not spoken to me about your concerns. I absolutely do not handle my cases as you have described. My office NEVER misses scheduled court appearances. Additionally, I find it very suspicious that you put your name as ANONYMOUS. I believe this review was written by someone who was not a prior client but by the other party in one of my cases. If you truly were a past client, please leave you name and then I will respond accordingly.
