My husband and I made an appointment to have our living trust completed on August 26th and due to a…read morefamily emergency, we were not able to make it. I called to reschedule for Monday at 11:00. Prior to going to the appointment this morning, I asked if they would honor the coupon for 15% off (totaling a $225 discount). Roberta said unequivocally no because the coupon says no exceptions and the coupon expired yesterday, August 30, which was the day before our appointment, on a Sunday. I explained we were scheduled for last week but needed to reschedule. She said they wouldn't honor the coupon but they would give me the $50 referral discount because my sister referred me. I let her know what a disappointment it was especially because I had two people lined up ready to use their services but will not be referring them to any longer. They literally missed out on $4,500 worth of business because of a $225 discount they refused to give. Roberta was smug in her response. What I really wanted to tell her if there are no clients, guess what?? They won't need you. There's a difference between following the letter of a policy and choosing to provide exceptional customer service. Policies may set the minimum standard, but how a business chooses to treat its customers is what defines it.

I retained Bill Bratton in March 2024, and my divorce was finalized in July 2026. Throughout the…read moreentire process, he was consistently clear, concise, and practical. One of the things I appreciated most was how he educated me about the realities of family law and helped temper my expectations with thoughtful, real-world advice rather than emotion. That perspective proved invaluable during what was a very difficult period. From the beginning, he made it clear that while divorce is inevitably expensive, his goal was to help me reach a fair resolution, not to create unnecessary conflict or generate additional billable hours. That integrity distinguished him from the stereotype many people have of family law attorneys. After a 40-year marriage, navigating the emotional and financial complexities of divorce felt overwhelming, and his steady guidance made all the difference. Thanks to his guidance, we reached a settlement that both my ex-wife and I believed was fair. He was an excellent advocate when needed, but he never lost sight of finding practical solutions. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an experienced, honest, and compassionate family law attorney.

$9,500. That's what I paid for what turned out to be an incredibly frustrating and disappointing…read moreexperience. I hired this attorney expecting someone who would actually advocate for me, listen to me, and follow through on what I was paying him to do. Instead, I walked away feeling like I had paid thousands of dollars just to be left to figure things out myself. I was told I would receive what he called "ghost representation." I trusted that explanation and paid accordingly. Unfortunately, the follow-through did not match what I was led to expect. What really bothered me was the complete lack of listening. At one point, I was trying to explain that the things he was telling me needed to be done had already been done. Rather than hearing me out, he told me to "let him talk first" and that I could talk afterward. I wasn't calling him for a lecture--I was paying him to understand the facts of MY situation. If you can't take the time to listen to your own client, that's a serious problem. Then there was the issue of the paperwork. I was told that my ex had not signed certain documents. The problem? He had. The documents had in fact been signed. When you're paying an attorney $9,500, you should not have to be the one discovering that basic information being given to you doesn't match the paperwork. The most infuriating part of this entire experience is that I repeatedly felt like I had to do the work, explain the situation, correct misunderstandings, and chase things down myself--after already paying a very substantial amount of money for legal help. $9,500 is not pocket change. That's a significant amount of money, and I expected professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and follow-through. Instead, I was left with the overwhelming feeling that once the money was paid, I wasn't getting the level of representation and attention I expected. I am leaving this review because I wish someone had warned me to ask much more detailed questions about exactly what I was paying for and exactly what would be done on my behalf. If you're considering hiring this attorney, do your homework. Get everything in writing. Verify everything yourself. And don't assume that paying $9,500 means you're going to get the level of attention and follow-through you expect. For me, this was an extremely expensive lesson, and based on my experience, I would not hire this attorney again. And after almost TWO years we're still waiting on a final judgement.
