Not suited for Divorce cases

Mr. Brendgard represented me in a divorce proceeding a little over 5 years ago. He was as responsive as I would expect, but was completely bulldozed by my ex-wife's attorney. His most glaring error, in my opinion, was to recommend that I agree to pay spousal support even after my ex remarried. I h...ave yet to find a single person who has ever even heard of such a thing. Incompetent and spineless. His advice cost me $90,000.

Bill's a Caring & Strong Attorney

I used William (Bill) Brendgard's services over the span of about 6 months on a child custody case. I actually researched and interviewed a lot of attorney's before choosing Bill. I was looking for the right mix of integrity, professionalism and caring... plus someone who wouldn't nickel and dime m...e for every time he/she "thought" about my case. Bill was affordable (as far as lawyers go) and he actually cared about the people involved in the case... and not just "my side" - which I found refreshing! With hindsight I now know that choosing Bill to represent me was a very smart decision on my part. He's very knowledgeable and professional yet has a very calm, compassionate and confident strength. If I ever have to go back to court (although I hope I don't) I know I'll be calling Bill up. I definitely recommend him. He's ABSOLUTELY the guy YOU WANT - ON YOUR SIDE!
