Brenna Tanzosh

If you are fortunate enough to have your case handled by Brenna Tanzosh, know that you are in good hands. Look no further. Over most of three years, throughout a contentious, difficult, nightmare of a divorce, Brenna Tanzosh frequently proved herself to be the most qualified lawyer in the room, and s...ometimes appeared to be the only one with definitive legal knowledge in court. Using her education, intelligence and clarity of vision, she no less than convinced a judge to rethink a hasty, damaging and unfounded ruling. Beyond that, she exacted an apology from the court, on my behalf. It was a stunning accomplishment. She stood up to irrational, badgering lawyers and brought sheer dedication, commitment and illuminative information to the discussion and negotiations until my case was resolved. This was no easy task. Far from it. She remained honest and in integrity even in the face of countless misrepresentations from the opposing side. She was easy to talk to, open to new information, always receptive and alert, and most of all, she was (is) kind. She was tireless and determined. I worked with two other lawyers before Brenna Tanzosh. Experience with other lawyers informs my opinion and fuels my certainty: Ms. Tanzosh is worthy of awards and accolades, for the work she is doing. Family law is full of problems. She brings a clear head, a dedication and a level of integrity which is reassuring and ultimately empowering. I stand in all gratitude for my chance to work with her.

Wow, I had a completely different experience than another person who wrote a review. I am self employed and have crazy hours, and Brenna made herself available to me late at night, on weekends, and holidays. She even came to my home to accommodate me when I didn't have child care. She communicated... with me promptly and in several different ways.......email, texting, phone calls, meetings. Another attorney I worked with took my money and then became very hard to get ahold of. I actually had to make an appointment to HAVE A PHONE CALL WITH HIM, and it would be days out. I had an extremely complicated case and Brenna encouraged me to be as involved as I wanted to be. I asked to proof read and approve every court document and piece of discovery before it was sent out, and she obliged. Because of the complicated nature of my case, I wanted to be by her side during every meeting she took with the opposing attorney, and I played an active role in the negotiations and settlement agreement. While I wouldn't recommend this to most people going through a divorce (because of the emotional nature of the subject matter) she recognized that there was value in my contribution. I recognized the importance of deferring to her expertise, and that I had better conduct myself in a dignified and professional manner, or I would only be hurting myself. My favorite thing about Brenna was her refusal to play dirty and her preparedness. My guess is that she's never had to resort to playing dirty because she knows the law. She's incredibly smart, but she also made the effort to fully understand my case so that she could do the proper research, and be prepared when the time came to deal with it. The finances in my case were so complicated that I didn't think it was possible for another person to even comprehend all of it, but she did. She understood the individual pieces, how they worked together, and what they meant to the big picture. She amazed me a few times when she accurately recalled facts or details that I had only touched on, and it had been months or years beforehand. We butted heads a few times, and I had moments of feeling like she wasn't fighting hard enough for me. But now that some time has elapsed, I can see that even when I thought she wasn't my advocate, she actually was. When I thought she was trying to get things over and done with (when I wanted to put up a fight), I see now that she was looking at things objectively, and I was not. She was trying to stop me from spending thousands of dollars fighting over personal crap that wasn't worth half of what I would spend fighting over it. If you want a "yes person" who will teach you how to play dirty, tell you you're justified and right when you conduct yourself in an undignified and unproductive manner, and encourage you even when you are not being rational, she is NOT the person for you. If you want someone who will give you realistic expectations, and talk you off of the ledge when you are about to do or say something stupid, then she's your gal. My husband's attorney saw dollar signs, inflamed him when he was angry and irrational (rather than calming him down), convinced him that he could get absurd amounts of money from me, and (I believe) advised him to take actions that were detrimental for our young children. I know that integrity and the truth don't always prevail. But your odds are much better when you have a knowledgeable, hard working, and prepared attorney who is respected by her peers and the court. More importantly, when it is all said and done, I can hold my head high and know that I conducted myself in a dignified manner at every turn, and I am grateful to Brenna for guiding me down that path.
