Tom Brasier

Recently, my old settlement had to be reopened and I hired a lawyer. What I learned from this new attorney is that I had learned very little from my first round with Mr Brasier years ago. When working with him he would get impatient when I had questions. He even left me a frustrated and unprofessi...onal message about not having reloaded my retainer yet when I actually had (he just hadn’t communicated with his secretary). Years later, I’m finding out that my settlement is poorly written, a result of both attorneys involved, with ambiguities in the language that are creating problems for me and costing me more money. I’m learning from my current attorney about rights I’ve had all along regarding custody, tax credits, and child support that Tom never informed me of. My current attorney cares about informing me of my rights and giving me the information I need to make good choices. When I recently called Mr Brasier to ask a question about my settlement, he joked that he never remembers his clients. While this may be true, it certainly doesn’t seem like something worth saying out loud.

Tom picked up a pretty complicated case that didnt have a clear-cut winner. He was overly patient and understanding. When he had a suggested course of action, he laid everything out and even gives you his very best guess of each outcome, with context. Tom explained each and every part of the proce...ss... and he did it without ever being disingenuous with billing. His assistant Alex is warm and inviting as well as efficient. Alex was always communicative when Tom wasnt able or necessary. Tom was so good, cordial and timely that even the opposition preferred to communicate with him instead of their own counsel, and fired them. Tom won my case the very best it could and it was because of the legal maneuvers he suggested. It delayed the outcome, it costed almost twice as much as expected... and Tom explained each and every reason why things resulted as such. We won, I got exponentially more time with my daughter. Tom is a man of his word and if you dont hire him right now, theres a chance youll see him at the other side's table... and I promise you, that is not an opponent you want to have.

It took over 5 years, but we won. He saw the injustices and kept giving balanced practical advice. Tom would listen to us, go over the pros and cons. Even if he disagreed, he would go with our choices. He was fair, worked with us financially, and the most important of all he kept on fighting. Tom ne...ver threw his hands up and said "I'm done." He never raised his rates. He never got angry, even when he told us "this was one of the hardest cases he's ever worked on." Tom changed our family. If there was a way to give him a 6 star review for his work ethic and unyielding efforts, we would do it.

I reached out to Tom Brasier to take on my Jurisdiction issue from California to Oregon. I knew it would be a very intricate case so I did my research because it mattered deeply to me to get it right the first time. I needed to find someone who won't make it sound ok or sugar coat it. Tom from the ...get go read my documents and let me know exactly where I stand and because my ex causes me a tremendous amount of stress he talked me through alot! I mean A LOT!!!! My case went better then expected 10 fold and he is a very interesting person to speak to as well. I highly recommend beyond doubt to allow TOM BRASIER be your Legal Counsel! your Attorney!!

I was recommended to Tom Brasier through a friend of a family member. Tom helped me through a difficult divorce/child custody case and he was very insightful, knowledgeable, and helpful every step of the way. He kept me up to date on what was going on and helped me feel prepared for everything that n...eeded to be done. I was extremely happy with the result and so grateful to have such an experienced attorney on my side.
