A year ago, I thought I was done for when I was served for custody of my son. I began to look for lawyers in my area and I am beyond blessed to have found Sean and his law firm! After my first meeting with Sean, I felt such a relief knowing I was in good hands. My lawyer Hannah was amazing beginning to end! She was very knowledgeable and responsive to my millions of questions! The whole team shows the most care for their clients and the case, I would definitely recommend them to anyone in search of a family lawyer! If needed I would come back to Sean! Thank you for everything!!

This review is for Sean Chaudhuri He has been a great attorney. Divorce is hard enough on a family and the most important thing to me is feeling like I have someone fighting for me and my children. Someone who makes me feel like they genuinely care about how our future turns out and is knowledgeable and prepared to represent us and achieve the best outcome. He is a great communicator and always available when I need to talk as well as being very well organized and prepared. He has done a great job and I would recommend him to anyone entering into a divorce.

I came to Marie Fahnert with a difficult divorce challenge and detailed to her specifically what I was hoping to accomplish. She was forthright about where I should set my expectations (as they were initially both too high and too low) and we began developing a sensible legal strategy that allowed me to do some of legwork (to keep fees reasonable). What I quickly discovered is that Marie is a hard-working (and sometimes overworked), thoughtful, honest family law attorney. There is no glitz or attitude or pretense. I always felt like I was getting straightforward counsel. Two particular areas of her practice deserve praise. She shines in her research, writing and preparation. And her firm is mostly paperless utilizing the web application Box to create virtual file cabinets to share communications and documents with her clients. I always had access to every document related to my case. Do not be dissuaded by the fact that she is a younger attorney. She has honed her courtroom presence, never seeming flustered by grumpy judges or overzealous opposing counsel. While her hourly rates are not cheap, I still felt her services were a true value. I couldn't be more pleased with the partnership we created and the results of our efforts. I highly recommend her.

Ms. Fahnert was contracted to complete a simple process that she was asked for over a year to do that was a part of her contract with me. She refused to do the simple task. I paid anothe lawyer a nominal fee who was able to do the task in 3 weeks. Her work was pathetic and terrible otherwise as well. Stay far away.

Marie is a smart, thoughtful, effective attorney who approaches law the way you would want your advocate to represent you. Above all, she is a person of integrity, who approaches things calmly, strategically and with a solid understanding of the law. Integrity in the field of family law is a rare quality; there are so many ego-maniacal, self-serving, self-dealing attorneys out there. You never know if they are out for you or out for themselves. People get so caught up in divorce; they think they have to file this motion and that motion. Most of it is nonsense and just serves to jack up the fees of the attorney, who will gladly tell you why you should be at "war" with your ex. They then start a war for you that nobody can win and everybody, but the attorneys, lose. Marie won't do that. She will counsel you, help you, empower you to make good decisions for yourself. It is the most important thing you could ask for. And, if your ex starts a war against you, I can not think of anyone more effective than Marie at stomping out that fire and getting you safely and reasonably out the other side. Marie is the attorney for people who have a life and want to get on with it, rather than spending every last bit of energy fighting it out in the courts. I could not recommend Marie more highly.

Brian Hurst and his staff represented me during a complex, grueling and bitter three-year divorce battle. Mr. Hurst's professionalism and knowledge of the law is only outweighed by his sincerity and honesty. During the entire process I was treated more like family instead of just another "client." At trial I could not have been in better hands as I was astounded by his confidence, expertise and court room presence. I am extremely happy with the end result and would highly recommend Hurst, Robin, & Kay to anyone who wants world class legal representation.

Candace, was a dream come true as an attorney. She was sympathetic, and knowledgeable. She was extremely professional dealing with an emotionally abusive ex husband, who tried to control and take over the divorce proceedings. She constantly checked in with me, made me feels supported listened to me about what my goals and concerns were during the divorce, and responded quickly, regarding any issue. Thanks to her, we got through a very difficult situation quickly and she made sure my needs were not run over but respected the entire time. If you can have a good experience during a divorce, she was my absolute light in a very dark tunnel.

Very upset I had high hopes as I was recommended this lawyer by one of his family members. I called and scheduled an appointment I drove 45 minutes and called because I was having trouble finding the office. The receptionist asks my name and says she doesn’t have me down for an appointment I was confused cause I had just made the appointment a week prior. Her response was I called and you didn’t answer so I filled the spot with someone else, I did not receive a call from her or a text. So I just drove 45 minutes for nothing and I get to drive 45 min back with no answers to my legal questions or a lawyer.

I have had a very good experience with Bradford & Gordon. They handled my divorce as well as a pre-nuptial agreement for my current marriage. I felt that they were invested in my well-being (personal, financial and emotional) throughout the entire process, and that they were fair, honest and direct at all times, which I greatly appreciate. I have since referred them to several friends and friends-of-friends, who also have positive things to say about Derek, Mitch and their team.

2.0 stars Posted by Paul December 9, 2019 While Mr. Bradford seemed very supportive and enthusiastic when I first retained him, his attention to my case dwindled as it went forward in court. As time went on I found it very difficult to get a hold of Mr. Bradford in a timely way, even as some conflicts with my ex required a timely response. When my case eventually came to its climactic appearance before the court Mr. Bradford handled himself very poorly before the judge, to the extent that the judge became very angry at Mr. Bradford and ordered him to sit down in the spectator's area and remain silent. I was left to speak for myself as my case was settled. Mr. Bradford then asked me not to mention what had happened to anyone.

It appeared Mitchell Gordon and his team were very thorough and helpful when taking on my case which had been delayed in pre-trial court for 2 plus previous years. I thought I had found a good, ethical representative for me, but when the time came to 'negotiate' with the trial judge and the ex's unscrupulous attorney, the monies I was told I would be getting paid back to me, for example: monthly support from my ex, court ordered to me during the divorce in which he refused to pay, $40K the ex deceivingly took out of one of our joint accouts which I had pointed out to Mitchell and ask him to go after (in which he said he would), but did not, $70K the ex had accused me of stealing and told I had to pay him back, in which I had provided evidence to the contrary numerous times and was told I was cleared of, plus other items totaling ~$300K, Mitchell Gordon let my ex walk away with. I was yelled at, threatened, gas-lighted and told if I didn't pay the ex these monies, I would be forced to go to trial. All that this attorney wanted to do was end the divorce proceedings quickly no matter what it cost me. Do not believe any attorney who tells you they will make sure you get the funds owed you 'at the end' of the divorce. It Never happens. After a 30 plus year marriage as a stay at home mom of 3, my disabled son and I have had to now figure out how we will live on much less than we were promised and suppose to have received, but never will. In addition, at one point I was told by this attorney that he did not need my business, because I was not receiving very much in the settlement anyway and he had many other wealthier clients. This did not seem to matter though when I asked him to forgive $10K of my very large last invoice, but he refused. I ended up paying this attorney over $64K to finalize a divorce where I ended up losing ~$300K to my ex which belonged to me and my son. Beware.

When my twin brother was diagnosed with Parkinson's, his wife of 37 years found a boyfriend and decided to file for divorce. He was devoted to his marriage, his children and his faith. His decision to choose an attorney was based upon his faith. My brother chose a very kind and compassionate attorney. Van Schwab took great care, guiding my brother, with patience and empathy, allowing him his dignity, throughout the process. As my brother's disease progressed, I had to step in and help him online. I live several states away, he and his staff kept me informed as to how to help my brother, always knowledgeable and professional, thorough in the process of the complexities of the law, never making me feel inadequate. Van Schwab became more than an attorney to my brother, but also a friend. He had my brother's best interests at heart, as he helped him navigate through a challenging situation, and ending with a fair settlement. I would highly recommend his expertise to anyone dealing with a difficult divorce.

I retained Marc as my divorce attorney in mid July 2015 after already going through 2 other divorce attorneys! I was getting nowhere with the prior attorneys and my divorce was dragging on and on for almost a year and a half (it was a relatively simple divorce). We were getting close to my trial date and I felt my attorney at that time would not have my divorce resolved prior to the trial date and I would end up in court which I did not want to do! After giving it much thought, I decided to start looking for yet another attorney…ugh! I met with Marc one afternoon and he really set my mind at ease. He reviewed my case and assured me he could help resolve my divorce quickly without a doubt. He was always very professional and treated me like a real person and not just another case he was working on. He was always willing to answer any questions I had and explained things to me clearly and never confused me with all the legal stuff. Marc is wonderful about returning emails and phone calls. I don’t think I ever had to wait more than a few hours to hear back from him. He was always available when I needed him and always offered great advice! Marc and his team worked quickly on my case and got my divorce settled without having to go to trial and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a great divorce attorney that will be there for you and treat you like you deserve to be treated, hire Marc Bangser….you won’t be disappointed!

I came to Marc for a second opinion on a matter my current lawyer and I were working on and from that moment I knew he would be my lawyer moving forward. I explained the situation to him and he told me point blank that I should not of filed the petition that I did at this time and that had this issue had been addressed in my original decree that I would not be in this situation. Since the petition had been filed we had to move forward. Marc laid out the facts, options and especially the cost benefit analysis. Which was monumental for me as a single mom. Marc always had my best interest in mind. He fought for me, was patient and kept me focused when things got nasty. He was always prompt, efficient and at no point was any "I" not dotted or "T" not crossed. He has a great attention to detail and truly takes pride in all he does. In the end Marc was able to get me more than I was looking for and was able to solidify things that had not been in my original decree. If you are looking for a lawyer who is truly invested in his clients well being, who is truly working for you, an investigative lawyer who will work through the night to make sure your case is solid, a man who is beyond professional in all he does and is not only respectful of your situation but is empathetic and sympathetic as well, then Marc is the right lawyer for you!!!

Divorce is a challenging thing, period. When you make the decision to move forward, tell a few people, everyone has opinions which contradict the other. Searching the internet leads to a significant amount of opinions, war stories with horrible outcomes, etc…. I was referred to Marc and Brad from a close friend going through a very challenging divorce. I actually spoke with Marc a number of times covering a period of nearly three years. Not once was Marc pushy, he always listened, and his goal was my and my children’s happiness WITH the kids being his first priority. These guys know what they’re doing and are also very good at managing your expectations. The outcome they’re striving for is: speed, accuracy, keeping tensions calm, and walking away with everyone feeling as good as they can. While I hope to never go through the process again, if I do, Marc will be my guy.
