I remember walking into his office & the girls up front being so kind & making feel as if I was their only client & reson to be there. When talking to Brian, i told him i was a single mom & was only able to make payments. I then gave him everything I had, text messages, recorded phone calls, e-mails and more. He then gave me a list of things to do and a list of things that i needed. I went home & worked on it for about week, then sent him everything. Not longer after that he called me with a court date. We went to court & I walked out WITH my son!! I think when you hire a lawyer to fight for you,EVERYTHING needs to be layed out there. So they are ready & prepared for anything that might be thrown at them. Brian always returned my calls, e-mails and text messages, & many of those calls were over the weekend, & after 5:00 pm. I am very thankful for Brian & his awesome staff RID: 181238
Click to report rating    6/26/16   5     5     5     5     5   I worked for Brian for 7 years and the last thing words I would use to describe his character or his practice is unethical or petty, he is far from being either of those things! I think he is a brilliant lawyer and in my opinion, the only people who could possibly write hateful things about him have probably lost their case being opposed by him! He actually cares very much about people and all anyone has to do is drive down to family court and ask people there who have seen him in courtroom action about what kind of lawyer he is and I guarantee you will hear he is top choice and known as a show horse in those court rooms!

Click to report rating    5/7/16   1     1     1     1     1   I wasn't surprised when I read in the newspapers that he was sanctioned for having an unethical relationship with a female client. he is a petty man with an unethical reputation I would google him before I hired him, Southern university graduate, they should be ashamed to have educated him, terrible lawyer! RID: 168930
Click to report rating    1/5/16   5     5     5     5     5   Brian and I have been working for a number of years and he has always been a great attorney! I can call him or any one else in the office for anything. He is great in the court room and has earned respect from the judges and his fellow attorneys. He has represented me In many cases and throughout them all I was always satisfied. He is very blunt and straight to the point! He's always on top of the law he knows his law book like a bible. Overall he is not only just a great attorney but a wonderful man and caring individual. RID: 163528

Click to report rating    3/11/13   1     1     1     1     1   Ever met somone an had the hair on the back of your neck raise an felt a cold chill rush through your body but you werent sure why? I was 12 first time this happened. Im now 18 an although I dont have any idea how good he does his work, or how he handles himself in the court room I can tell you what kind of "man" he is. Brian was "hired" as my moms lawyer to handle my parents divorce case which i consider half his fault but couldnt complete the case due to conflict of interest issues. I say "hired" cuz he wasnt paid by the dollar, though im sure his wife(who likely has no idea of this)would have appreciated the money much more than the way the favor for his work was returned. To all who say this man is a proffesional: every choice he made that i know about, says otherwise. For all who say he can be trusted: www.lasc.org/opinions/2009/09B2346.pc.pdf Due to his 'professionalism' Prenderast is NOT someone I recomend to let represent you in a courtroom,or in any other aspect of your life. RID: 104612
Click to report rating    4/4/12   5     5     5     5     5   Brian is the BEST!!! I have used him for many issues and he has always been fair and professional. I had 2 other lawyers before him that really messed me and my kids over in my divorce. Once I hired Brian he took care of everything! My ex even said he wished he had used Brian. He is handeling cases for my daughter now and she is thrilled with him. I recommend Brian to everyone I talk to! Good job Brian! Keep up the good work!! RID: 67244
Click to report rating    2/27/12   5     5     5     5     5   I cant say enough good about him. He has helped my son through some terrible times.I would recommend him to anyone wanting someone who will really fight for you. If you need a good family lawyer this is your man! RID: 64778
Click to report rating    11/29/11   5     5     5     5     5   I can't say enough good things about Brian. I had another attorney prior to finding Brian that was a joke..(SG) After 2 yrs and $18k+ later, all he had done was finalize my divorce. What a jerk he was! Talk about a rip off!!In less than a week of hiring Brian, he got my ex in check, had custody settled, and was well on the way of getting my property settlement done. (oh yeah, SG had charged for that but didn't do a thing!!) Brian is a great guy and gets things done. RID: 56055

Click to report rating    8/29/10   5     5     5     5     5   All the people that write snide remarks about Brian Prendergast should really take a look at themselves in the mirror before they judge another human being. He represented me during my divorce and was very professional,courteous,and respectful. I have nothing but high regard for him and would highly recommend him, and have done so, to everyone I know. RID: 33955
Click to report rating    7/27/10   1     1     1     1     1   Please see www.lasc.org/opinions/2009/09B2346.pc.pdf. Brian Prendergast was due to be suspended for 90days for having sex with one of his clients! I guess because he is a lawyer he was able to weezle his way out of it and only got 8 hrs of legal education classes. It went to the Lousiana Supreme Court for review. By the way, he is married! Also, this is not the first time he has been cited for this type of thing. I don't think this is the type of person you want representing you! RID: 32716
Click to report rating    4/17/10   3     2     2     3     3   Stay out court ot expect to be screwed- it is their racket and there to provide lawyers and judges easy cash for a worthless life- take care of your business whatever it takes or give control to others their to line their own pockets- this lawyer is unremarkably average in these respects-will use his relationship with you to his best advantage or service as most will do the same RID: 29346
Click to report rating    1/30/10   5     5     5     5     5   Brian Prendergast is hero to my family and I. And I am a woman with very little money, and a victim of an abusive relationship on many levels. Brian represented my case in East Baton Rouge Court, secured a permanent restraining order, and secured a judgment for permanent spousal support. My ex-husband used me to finance his business and conveniently left me with all the debt. Brian and his staff, especially Jennifer, have helped me continue through this ordeal to the point we are at today. And they continue to do so. My thanks to Brian Prendergast and his very professional staff. RID: 26702
Click to report rating    12/18/09   5     5     5     5     5   The idiot that wrote that Brian give legal advice for pleasure had better be gald that their name is not posted! Can they prove that allegation? Slanderous statements like that are made by cowards or people that did not get the attention they wanted. Brian has a lot of clients and does not have time hold their hands. Any one that has time to post such crap obviously has NO life! RID: 25378
Click to report rating    12/16/09   5     5     5     5     5   I think the people who are making bad comments about Brian is NO GOOD! He has worked my case and has done an excellent job! I would recommend him to anyone! He has done alot of pro bono for people who dont have alot of money and has won the case for him. He is a personal friend of me and my husbands and for the people who have given him a bad name you obviously have nothing else to do with your time but bad-mouth people. You were obviously on the other side. He must not have represented you! RID: 25317
Click to report rating    8/27/09   5     5     5     5     5   Brian is one the best attorneys around this area. Don't believe the few bad ratings you see here they are most probably from people who have fought against Brian in court and lost, these people just wish they had Brian as their attorney.A+++ Highly recommended.

FIND ANOTHER ATTORNEY!!!! RID: 21446
Click to report rating    8/26/09   5     5     5     5     5   Brian performs like a true professional in the court room. He knows the law and is always on top of my case. Brian is also easy to talk to and always listens to your concerns and provides excellent law advice. After seeing him in court, I am glad he is on my side. I would recommend Brian to anyone needing an attorney that is compassionate to client and a bulldog in the court room. RID: 21445
