Hired Attorney 2023-2025Brad is the best investment I've ever made in my life, I know it sounds dramatic but he saved my children's life and my peace. He did more for my children than the useless and absentminded GAL my children were assigned. One of the top things about him is that you don't have to go through a secretary to get in touch with him or wait weeks to get a reply. You are in direct contact with him and he replies quickly. He is also transparent with his fees, billing and gives you a heads up before the bill comes so that you can be better prepared. I'm serious when I say if you want a SHARK attorney that WILL fight with teeth and claws while staying calm and professional against not only difficult custody cases, a bias GAL and the horrible feeling that no matter what you do for your children chances are they might step into the worst possible case scenario... Well pick up the phone and hire this man. Even if your case is an "easy" case, or if your ex is supposedly ending things amicably seriously... things can turn nasty in a matter of hours. It is not worth taking a chance. Don't get into legal situations alone, do not go into it thinking that "what's best for your kids" is what the GAL says. I can promise you some individuals in Cuyahoga county are out to make themselves look good off of your case or shove their old school ideas into your life. Mothers and fathers do not let them threaten you, hire Brad, hold your kids and keep going.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
