Bradley was my lawyer for a little over 3 years. In that time he ignored emails and phone calls, showed up to court late and simply did not seem to care. He started our relationship by telling me he cared only about the children but proved that to be false in tye first few weeks. Abuse and court order breaches from opposition came to the forefront and Bradley did nothing. If Brad bothers to reply to any communication it is short, ignorant, and rude. He shows a general lack of knowledge and laziness. Towards the end of our time together Brad ran out of hours from legal aid and did nit seem to know the process to get more hours. I did this for him even after legal aid explained that the client cannot request more hours, only the lawyer can. Once granted more hours after weeks of me nagging legal aid, Bradley took the hours and ran off. This man won't help you. He's dishonest and is only in it for the money.

Bradley was my lawyer for 2 decades and in the beginning he was nice. But as time went on, he was very arrogant and disrespectful. Yes he was honest, I'll give him that, but during the time he was my lawyer, he was going through his own separation and custody battle and took out his arrogance on me. He put me in tears one day in his office because he tried saying that I was wasting his time, when truthfully, I had been paying him to be my lawyer for 20 years on and off. Not sure how that's wasting his time considering he's supposed to be my lawyer ??. Anyways, the only thing that was good about him was that he managed to win my case at the 2nd decade mark. So got what I paid for but I can honestly say that he's not as friendly as some rated him unless he likes the person. He is brutally honest and upfront which is better than being lied to. Just need to ensure you have a backbone with him or he'll crush you. He also was late a couple of times for court. His communication lacks.

He is an amazing lawyer! Hes been in my family for many years! He has a great sense of humor and is extremely understanding and empathetic. He has always had the best interest of my children. I am a person who has no interest or time for petty or evil rooted decisions and there is no lawyer that I’ve ever met that resonates better with that ideology. If youre someone who is interested in being petty, crappy parenting or dishonest hes probably not the lawyer for you. However if you’re a loving parent who just wants whats best for their children. Definitely contact him.

He doesn't have an honest bone in his body. I find it hard to trust this kind of lawyer. He put me down for no apparent reason and he also wasted my time as well as my money for simply doing nothing.

I've met with him a few times and he's honestly so great and kind. He also has a great sense of humor which is always a plus and knows my situation very well. He does his best to cheer me up and even gifts me chocolate when things get super rough. He goes beyond being a lawyer to a friend and always answers all the questions I have. He replies to my messages in a good amount of time and keeps me updated nonstop. He gave a great first impression and is overall, a great lawyer.

Don't waste your time or money! He is not only terrible but will also give away your position with the opposite counsel without advising you. He does not bill for months and when he does, it is all wrong and over charges. Don't get take advantage of!

Brad has been an amazing lawyer for me and my son. He has been honest and forthright with me every step of the way. He has allowed my family to be involved in meetings to they can be understand what we have been up against, and the process its going to take us to get there. I've been working with him for 2 years now, for all my parenting needs and he has exceeded my expectations in all my final orders for my child. He always prepared me before we walked into any situation and supported my opinions. We are starting my divorce process right now and again the statement of claim he prepared went above and beyond what I thought we could ask for. Brad isn't always the easiest to get a hold of but his assistant is always available, in case of emergencies I've always been able to call her and she can contact him directly for me. I am so grateful to have had such a supportive and knowledgeable lawyer by my side and look forward to continuing with him for years to come.

Very honestly, I'm telling you, I only met him once... the worst meeting of my 48 years !! I know lawyers can rip you off.. But he started it right from the first minute.. With his left hand, he kept on writing pages after pages.. with not more than 3 sentences per page.. to prove to you that.. he's damn serious.. In 15 minutes.. I could see the thief inside him... I asked to leave.. but He insisted that I should stay.. since I booked the time.. He didn't give me a single piece of advice.. but charged 350$ for a meeting that collapsed at the end..

Do not work with him if you are legal aid!!!! He agreed to take my case and said 97% of his cases are legal aid. Then he expected to bully me. He takes legal aid because he knows those lacking resources can't fight him when he wants to deal with your case in the best way for him! He was confrontational and spent most of our time telling me he was just going to agree to whatever opposing council wanted to do. He does not care one whit about his clients. He will bully you if you don't know your rights or are not strong or assertive enough to stand up to him. Avoid him. He is busy because he milks legal aid and bills for his assistant doing work. Everytime I spoke with him I had to remind him of the most basic details.

I find he is out to make as much money for as little effort as possible, he will take advantage of you if you do not know the law and if you are emotional.Tell's you how many client's he has and does not know what in your file.In 14 months, one failed mediation coast $20,000.then tells you things don't look good for you. Stay away from him if you don't know the law.

DO NOT USE OR RECOMEND THIS " LAWYER" He is nothing more than a human ( still even questioning that ) trying to act as a lawyer , in our opinion . He talked a great talk in the bigining so about 3 mo , then it became obvious he was doing nothing . When contacted would then request a meeting , then the tail chase would start again . " BLAHA BLAHA " The broken promises , lies , avoidance and on it went , for close to 16 MO ! His POOR assistant can answer his phone (good luck trying to reach him after the first few months ) but can't even book apts for the guy ! She has no access to his calendar ?! What's the point of an assistant then other than to be his fall guy ?! He didn't EVER go on record as our "lawyer" dispite the FACT he was already being paid,he does NOTHING ! PLEASE for the sake of your children and yourself ,give your money to the homeless , they would put it to better use ! I am now than I was 16 mo ago IN FACT I am desperate,and have NO access at all to my children ! My op

Nice person amicable. However numerous court documents were prepared with serious errors which would have cost me the case had I not reviewed them carefully. Requested large financial documents through email then complained he couldn't open a zip file. Communication breakdown and he withdrew as my lawyer leaving me high and dry before a trial.

Brad has been my Lawyer for many years, he has helped me with child support for my now 17 year old daughter always returned my calls, kept me informed, and helped my daughter receive what she needed in support. He has also helped me with guardianship of my grandnephew, given me insight on family services, always keeping me informed, whether with a phone call or letters...I agree he is busy but he is good at what he does...I have recommended him to a few people as in all my situations he has done a fantastic job... Very honest, in if he feels it could go another way that you are not happy about he wants you to be prepared and decided what to do if it does...I feel he make you feel comfortable, he cares about your situation but is also honest about it as well..

Brad was very knowledgable and returned all my calls. He was always prepared for court and I was very satisfied with his services. Brad really tried hard and it was obvious he cared about me and my children.

I have spoken to many lawyers over the last two years and I was referred to Brad without asking several times. Not a single lawyer had anything bad to say about him. My experience with Brad was nothing but positive. Yes, he is busy. Most good lawyers are. Brad genuinely cares and I definitely recomment him.

have to say I agree with the last poster. I went through several lawyers, and looking back, Brad was the only one I thought really cared about me and my kids. My only criticism is he is so busy, that sometimes you feel like you are put on the backburner. He will have 4-5 things at a time in docket court.

I hired Brad for a child custody case while I was in the hospital with cancer. He kept in touch with me and even did court trials over the phone not letting the opposition know I was sick. I did not get everything I asked but maybe I asked for too much. Mid case I switched lawyers to try to get everything I wanted and ended up with a self centered money absorbed robot with no skills and really wanted to re-hire Brad to finish my case. He did care but wouldn't take me case again.

Stops returning calls, takes a case he stated as "laughable" and starts losing his case, Know very little od Maintenance Enforcement Programmes or thinks his clients are stupid and try's to have them avoid going through them,and publicly slandered child welfare in The National Post stating "They are god-like creatures, or at least they think they are".http://www.nationalpost.com/story.htm... , I have dealt with child welfare before because of a report they recieved and the case was closed being called malicious.
