Brad returns calls quickly. Brad took time to educate me on the law pertaining to me. I hired Brad for divorce matters, including child support. He has always answered my questions. Later, I returned to Brad to represent me in obtaining an agreement for support so that my children would receive help in paying for college from my former spouse. I am very happy with the outcomes and Brad helped to put me at ease. He is very knowledgeable and consistent. I highly recommend Brad if you have to go through divorce matters.

I highly recommend Brad; in fact there are not enough stars in AVVOs rating for Brad. Regrettably my divorce and child visitation case went on for years with my ex-partner refusing to comply with court order after court order while retaining and dismissing 7 different attorneys. Whether in response to my ex-partners actions or the tactics of opposing counsel, Brad displayed unwavering tenacity. Brad is diligent, supportive, caring, persistent, and fought not just to protect my rights as a parent but the ability to maintain meaningful relationships with my children ...

I hired Brad for a custody case for my son. A few things: Hiring Brad was far and away the best decision I have ever made. I will never forget when I first walked into his his office. My demand of him was to step into the ring and swing with me. His response was simple..."its not about getting in the ring and swinging....its about showing how great of a father you are and the plan you have for your son, trust me, this is what I do". I will remember that line for as long as I live. His level of professionalism is unparalleled ...

Brad represented me for 4 years for a child custody/ child support case. My ex went through 4 lawyers, even appealing the judges decision. We won our case amongst his lawyers trying every escape tactic in the books. He keeps his composure during 4 trials and doesnt let the other lawyers deter from the problems at hand. His knowledge of all rules and regulations of a courtroom sets his bar higher than any other lawyer I have seen in the 4 years of court proceedings. He made all 4 lawyers of opposing counsel look as if they just graduated with no court experience ...
