Ms Meredith Rucker is absolutely wonderful. She connected with my son right from the beginning. To…read morebad she could not be his GAL also. She is organized, very prepared, and knows what she is doing. She will fight for you and she does it from the heart unlike other attorneys. She is upfront and honest. I highly recommend Ms Rucker. If I had her from the beginning I wouldn't be dealing with the mess now. Tip 1- do not listen to attorneys from Mobile about Baldwin County attorneys. Rival thing going on and they will slam them. Do not listen to others ! I cannot speak highly enough of Ms Rucker. Hire her!!!

If I could give ZERO stars I would. She is about the worse lawyer I've ever seen. She will take…read moreyour money and not do a dang thing for you. She not keep you informed. She is hard to get ahold of. You are seriously scratching your head at what is going on with your case. She charges 50 to 100 on phone calls only to say "I have no clue what to do on this case yet." It's ridiculous. Then she wants more money to again, not do anything. She is rude and very unprofessional and makes you gather information on your own. The one time she did get information she cut it super close 2 days before court and STILL got the wrong info I told her we needed. She is awful in every single aspect. I'm not even kidding. I've hired a new lawyer who is blowing this woman out the water right now. Find someone else and don't waste your money on this one.

When I came to Brett for the purpose of retaining an attorney for my case, it obviously was not a…read morehappy affair. However, throughout the entire process, Brett made my experience substantially manageable. When I did not feel very hopeful for a chance that my case would go smoothly and in my favor, Brett knew exactly what to do with his developed knowledge of the law and extensive experience in court. Initially, Brett told me all of the viable options he felt possible and gave me the option to choose what I wanted to proceed with, keeping in mind the potential consequences and how likely he felt things to play out the way we intended and wanted. He was always very upfront, concise, and easy to understand. Brett was always empathetic with how I felt and how different outcomes might affect my personal life and education/career options. Keeping my interests in mind, Brett managed to return the best possible outcome for me while minimally invading on my personal commitments. While it was difficult to appear in court because I live in New York City, Brett kept things simple and never made me appear personally for his own ease. He was easy to contact because I had two emails and his cell phone number. Additionally, he was always quick to reply to my concerns and questions, even after office hours or on weekends. I NEVER felt as though Brett had exclusive control and management of my options because he informed me at every update he received and really leveled with me as an individual to come up with and decide on challenges together. Because Brett formally worked "on the other side of things" in the courtroom, he knew the ins and outs of what was to be expected from the district attorneys or judges. He knew people personally and they also seemed to think highly of him because they were always friendly in response. This experience was crucial to my case and changed the entire outcome of what I initially thought possible. By working with me instead of "for" me, Brett took my interests and concerns to heart - he recognized how these sorts of situations are detrimental in many ways and it was obvious he cared about me succeeding in life long after my file was finalized. If I were local to the area at all, Brett would definitely be the attorney I retained consistently for any of my criminal law needs. Also, compared to other attorneys offering me "worse" potential outcomes, Brett was super affordable. He made payment quick and easy and was willing to help through consultation and the like before I had submitted payment. Although I paid all at once by credit card, he also offered payment options. If you are in the area and need genuine help concerning a criminal record/issue, Brett is the man to talk to! He will put your mind at ease and take care of everything while leaving you in control of your own file and life.

I was charged and could have served up to six months in prison along with up to a $5000 fine…read more Throughout the process Brett was very straightforward with me and didn't give me any false expectations at all. He laid out all the possibilities and made no promises. I went into the courthouse with no false expectation at all. I knew that regardless of Brett, I had committed a crime. Brett made very clear all that COULD happen under the circumstances. Brett was able to get me into into a program, without any fine at all. All I had to do is not get arrested for 12 months, and the charges were dropped. Brett is well worth his weight in gold. He saved my career and loads of money. I have never posted a yelp review before, but hopefully this serves as some sort of small thank you.
