We were dealing…read morewith the sudden loss of a family member, having no will or trust set up things were very difficult for us in the beginning and Lisa helped us every step of the way. Looking at an estate saddled with debt and bills Lisa was able to get us in contact with the right people and worked very hard for us by negotiating down the debts of the estate. We did have a small amount left over at the end to divide up among the heirs. I can't thank Lisa enough in guiding us thru this difficult process. I highly recommend Lisa Christensen!

(I'm looking to have my will and power of attorney reviewed.) A few days later I receive a questioner from this office about all our finances and holdings. So I called them and asked why I received this, that it has nothing to do with my request. They told me to ignore it. Then the corona virus hit Troy. I called and asked if I could drop off our existing papers and then do a phone interview to get the process started. I was told no, the attorney would not allow that. About an hour later I received a call that the attorney would allow it but it would be at least 3 weeks before we could talk via telephone. Nope. Not helpful to me. I found a different attorney. I gave it a 2 because of my previous experience here. That's the only reason.

The ex husband & his attny played several games of not showing up for court appearances& being extremely late. He said nothing to the judge of their behavior. Months go by & the divorce was postponed by the ex & his attny & when we finally had the divorce hearing Mark didn't speak up he was very passive. The ex received everything that he asked for including the house that we resided in, no child support, no spousal support 15 1/2 yrs of marriage. The ex & his attny requested that I receive a portion of his 401 from a certain date to a certain date.. Needless to say I never received payment from his 401, when I asked what the hold up was for the payment from his retirement accts...Mark asked for $500 more to do that, now this was originally factored in to the fee I had a already paid. He tried to punish me for the games played by the ex & his attny & him not speaking up about it. The divorce was finalized 5/2/2013 & it's a new year almost 6 years later no payment from the retirement accts. I do NOT recommend him for anything you may need. Look elsewhere, you will be throwing your money away literally. I wish I could rate him at 0 stars but I have to make one to submit this.

As I'm not getting any younger, I reached out to my uncle, who is an attorney in another specialty, to seek a referral for writing my last will and other related legal documents. My uncle worked with David Bale decades ago and could attest to how thoughtful and thorough he was. This certainly proved to be the case. I made first contact via his website and received a prompt response including details about the price, process and expectations. His responsiveness was impeccable from start to finish. In those early emails he provided me with all the materials I needed to be prepared for our first meeting. I greatly appreciated this because when you pay by the hour, time is essentially money. During our first meeting he gently asked informed questions to ensure that he was accurately capturing my intentions. When applicable, he presented several options for me to choose what best suited my needs. After the meeting Mr. Bale drafted all of the necessary documents and emailed them to me for proofing and updating. This was a seamless and efficient process that I feel also saved time and money. Once documents were reviewed, we set our final meeting which included signing, notary services and receipt of official documents & copies thereof. All documents were also provided to me electronically as well. I was quoted $750 for the entire process and we stayed on target. He was kind and made an effort to get to know me in effort to help me make more informed decisions.

I am going to make sure i will review in the most unbiased and descriptive way of all kind of services and people i come across to give a clearer picture to someone who comes after me. Moving on to the main topic, Mr bale was contacted for legal counsel on home closing/real estate. Many attorneys i spoke to required a paid consultation to explain my issue whereas Mr David Bale made sure he had a brief conversation firstly by emails and a short call to understand my requirement of legal counsel totally free. This opens up a window to communicate if you really need a counsel or it is too early or late. Based on his genuine suggestions and advices during our short call i can tell how knowledgeable and experienced he is and i am pretty sure he has dealt with varied real estate related legal situations. In terms of fees, they were reasonable and i think they are standard across all columbus. It is a hard decision to pick an attorney from a plethora of choices on the internet, and i hope my review helps somebody.

K.B. & 'Super 6'-Sibling Review:…read more As I was looking for legal advice after the death of our Father while visiting Dayton,Ohio (where I was born) from Southern California, I received a referral from the Dayton Bar Association to Mr. David Brannon- based on his expertise in the area of Estate Planning and Living Will and Trust. Even from our initial phone conversation, David was very easy to talk to and super helpful to email me an itemized list of documents to organize my planning at the moment we spoke. As you can imagine having this info to start really provided me with the solid direction on where to start as the next of kin, amongst a family of 6 siblings and a host of secondary family members, for what was already a very sensitive emotional and financial situation. I think that it would also be helpful to know that David was kind enough to work with my limited schedule during my hometown visit, to provide a in-person consultation appointment with my family and I. During our appointment, the Brannon & Associates Staff was very kind, understanding as well as culturally competent, honoring our diversity as a young African-American family. David spoke in simple terms that we could all understand and also had a paralegal named Patty there to help gather info on our case. This immediately made us feel like we were being seriously and being placed as his priority at the moment. Together as a Team we sat together in collaboration and spoke openly about the facts of what would be my family's Estate case, including the discussion of such tough subjects as property values, debt and the creditor claims of my deceased Father. He was honest, straightforward and witty, even mentioning that he and I both shared the commonality of both having a Twin. By this time, it became very evident to me, that David was not only very experienced but is also competent enough to systematic apply his years of legal skill, in order to assess our case properly. Further to that note, we even received a follow-up email with the notes to recap our conversation as well as action steps moving forward, after our consult. Our names were even spelled correctly in the email, which truly speaks to the efficiency of an Au'some staff! As if we weren't sold enough, on top of all of that...the vibe was high and light, in the Brannon office as we were all even able to share a quick laugh to lift our spirits during such a sad time. To sum it all up, the combination of the the ease and empathy we felt in the office of Brannon & Associates was absolutely empowering, bringing about fond nostalgic memories of the goodness of the community where I grew up. If was truly a breath of fresh air for me and my family. So, if you're looking for legal counsel from a earnest, neighborly, a heart centered-professional Attorney and Staff and you appreciate being treated like a human, David Brannon & Associates will be there for you. Shine On, David!...and thank you. K.B. & S6
