Humboldts finest

Ms. Bryson and her secretary, Bobbi, were terrific to me. From the start they didn't treat me no different or make me feel any different than if they had just met me under different circumstances (not being due to legal issues). Ms. Bryson was honest from the start and as long as i did my part, she n...ever broke her end. Had my legal troubles not turned out as i wanted,i still wouldnt have regretted hiring Ms. Bryson. i truly felt as if every dollar was with it. Speaking of dollar, they were very kind with payment plans as well. Thank you!!

Help me with questions about my 19 year old son

She was great she called me on a day she didn't have to. She even had her secretary call me back, but because im very low income and have two other children at home i couldn't afford her. Shes also really busy and she can't do pro bono. Thank you for the help you could do for us

Excellent Representation

Kathleen assisted me with a DUI matter. She succeeded in getting the DUI charge reduced to Wet Reckless. As part of my fines and penalties, the court ordered I attend a 12 hour alcohol education program certified by the state of California. I’m not a California resident, attending an alcohol pro...gram in California would be a tremendous burden. Kathleen successfully filed a motion with the court to remove the ordered education program. Kathleen exceeded my expectations; I could not have hoped for a better outcome.

Good Job

Did a great job representing me with a dui incident, reduced the punishment to wet reckless and beyond to just paying a dry fine. I felt comfortable that she knew the law well and used it to my advantage. She kept with the case even after the judge was ill and the trial got postponed twice, totally 7... months. would recommend as a good dui defense attorney.

Unprofessional

I called to get information about an existing attorney and was met with an attitude from Kathleen, no help at all and she ended up hanging up on me. I wouldn’t use this office if it was the last place of earth.

Hello. This is Kathleen Bryson. You called my cell phone when I was outside a courtroom. You asked me about a male attorney that worked with me. I have never had a male attorney work with me. You did not know his name and barely knew the kind of work he did for you. I explained (once we were able to narrow it down to probate) that it may have been an attorney I knew but that he was retired and then I suggested that you just hire a new one. I was going to give you two different possiblibilities when the deputy bailiff in court 3 started to shut the courtroom. I rushed to get there as I didn't want to be locked out. You may have heard him being rude to me. In any case, I then had to get off the phone with you as he wasn't going to let me in if I was on my phone. This was even though there was no judge in the courtroom and even if that judge had been in the courtroom, we were not on the record and he would not have minded. So after having a male deputy bailiff harass me such that I had to let his Sergeant know, I then have you. So yes, if that is something which you would take time out to blog about ON THE VERY SAME DAY then I think maybe you are someone who hates other women and should probably seek a male attorney for your probate issue.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
