My Review

I don't usually leave reviews but felt that this deserved me speaking up. Brad was a nice and professional guy up front when I initially spoke with him. He assured me that he was a fighter and would do everything he could to help me out in this extremely low time in my life. That didn't happen. Inste...ad he never returned phone calls or texts I would send him, and always seemed to be on vacation when and if he would respond. He showed up for court almost 4hrs late for one hearing which was not fun for me as the judge whom was not happy kept asking were my attorney was. I called and called and as usual no response. He always seemed very intimidated by the judge and the other attorney when we would go to court, I literally had to speak up for myself at one hearing. He told me he filed paperwork that he never actually filed (Gavron warning Brad), believe me I checked. So basically I paid thousands of dollars only to find out after I signed my paperwork that important information he told me was there was in fact not there. I know you’re thinking why didn't I read it first, and I did but I'm not an attorney and didn't understand a lot of the terms that were being used, that's why we hire an attorney. I would never wish divorce on anyone and just say to anyone going through or getting ready to go through this to do your research on your attorney and make sure they have the credentials and the experience to do the job for you. Brad was not that attorney for me. This was a bad situation that just got worst due to what I felt was lack of interest of my attorney. Nice guy but I would NEVER recommend him to anyone I know going through this.
