Chad Eugene Bradshaw - Tacoma, WA

Unfortunately I cannot reccomend Mr. Bradshaw to anyone due to his lack of performance and lack of communication. I paid my retainer to Mr. Bradshaw last year 2020, he went to one brief court hearing on my behalf, sent half a dozen emails to to opposing party and then stopped all communications with myself and opposing counsel. Around May of 2021 the opposing counsel contacts me saying they haven't heard from my attorney or I on the matter so they will be taking further actions at this point. Surprised by their accusations I attempted to contact my counsel thinking this had to be a mistake, this went on for about a week, and still no response. I wasn't going to wait any longer on the matter so I contacted the opposing counsel directly and began negotiation. Come to find out my counsel sent half a dozen emails back and forth and then stopped communicating with the other counsel a few months after the court hearing last fall. (It is now July 2021) I contacted Mr. Bradshaw yet again after I finished negotiations with the opposing counsel and achieved an end result to the matter. I did what I hired him to do so naturally I was a little put out but he did go to court for me and send emails and whatnot so I want to pay him for his time however I will never use his services again. I told Mr. Bradshaw that I handled the negotiations, that they hadn't heard from him, I couldn't get ahold of him, so they proceed with further legal actions due to lack of response so I had to begin negotiations with opposing counsel because he was unavailable. He claimed he didnt know about the further legal actions in the case, when I told him I wanted to end his services and get the remainder of my retainer back by the end of 2021 he paused for a moment and then informed me that he not only did he use the full $3500.00 retainer but also mentioned to me that he ran several hundred dollars over the retainer (in his one brief court appearance and the half a dozen emails sent to the opposing counsel) however he admitted to me that he was going to "be kind and just write off the additional expenses." If you want to waste your money and pay someone to not handle anything and do everything yourself he is the guy to hire.
