Unprepared and lazy

This lawyer was hired to represent me for post-secondary support. In spite of me being timely with my filing request, handing him all of the necessary documents, meeting with him and calling his office weekly to find out the status of my case, he was so incredibly tardy with the court filings that I ...got penalized by the justice system and didn't receive any post-secondary support. Bryan did NOT represent me. He was completely unprepared for court, would come running in at the last minute, and was not knowledgeable as to the specifics of my case. In spite of his lack of preparedness, he still received payments of nearly $10,000 in fees - while costing me $10,000 in lost support. I wish I would have fired him many months ago.

Unsettled

This is an incompetent, ineffective, greed filled attorney. When YOU need a strong, capable advocate, this guy is NOT at all "on your side", He is ONLY on his side. And the billable hours he submitted, 5 minutes billed for a 1 minute phone consult. I have the phone bill to prove it, but I was told th...at they "round up" for billing. I have been cheated and duped by this "human". We will see what happens when the WA State Attorney General finally investigates the numerous complaints on him.

family law

this lawyer did an excellent job on my case. I was difficult because I could not make up my mind how I wanted to proceed. He stuck with me..........go to court and observe him if you have the chance

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2017.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2017

updated on 02/27/2018

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
