ATTENTION: DO NOT hire this family law firm! SAVE YOURSELF!
I came here to hire a 'Christian law firm' I did not see a spec of that being the case as I'll explain... it was very misleading. And this really offended me too.
For readers knowledge, I have a very long history of experiences with attorneys in various specialities. (Probably around 20, would have to count)
I have had multiple family law attorneys in the past retained for multiple years, a few of them you can look up my Google reviews, which are both positive as well as the majority of the rest of my reviews. - just to establish credibility to readers reading this because the bright family law firm will certainly try to damage control the horrendous experience I had here. (I now understand their bad reviews!)
I'm a pretty forgiving guy but It was one thing after another but the second I walked in the door I was clearly instantly assumed the 'bad guy' (despite my ex's neverending litigation history that never goes anywhere, aka, it's 99% bologna) Constant negative affirmations.
More specifically was the fear mongering and belittling of me. For example, 'I am a bigger guy and therefore because of my body type I'm scary to the Court.' - they literally told me that!
Their first comments were unbelievably pessimistic, I was going to lose from day one. (You want an attorney that's instantly confident you will win!)
The most baffling thing for me personally that absolutely infuriated me:
When I brought up my 8yo son complaining repeatedly of chest pains for years now after being given an experimental drug that's known to be causing heart problems... what was their immediate initial response?
Munchausen syndrome! - they instantly ASSUMED I was just lying about my son's health problems! Holy cow! They are straight up dangerous! If you have a child with health problems this is not the place to come!
They made me repeatedly feel 2 inches tall. And I think by design. I think their clients are probably getting the same treatment in that they're filled with fear that they're definitely going to lose without them! - truth is, after firing this firm I went to my hearing by myself and represented myself and WON.
The final straw that I finally decided to fire them was after they locked my credit card for trying to repeatedly run my card for ballpark in the thousands of dollars range WITHOUT EVEN HAVING THE COURTESY OF ASKING ME BEFORE RUNNING IT. -out of all the attorneys I've ever had, this is the only firm who did not confirm with me before charging one of my credit cards for thousands of dollars. So unprofessional. WENT TO GO USE MY CREDIT CARD AND IT WAS LOCKED WHEN I REALLY NEEDED IT! - and that's sadly how I had to discover this.
NOW, after all of that, they charged me almost $6000 to file ONE motion response. You know what's funny about that? The opposing party in these matters (the offense) requested reimbursements for her attorney fees of $2300!!! - THE BRIGHT FAMILY LAW FIRM CHARGES ME 2.5X what the opposing party's attorney charged for the same service!!
$6000 for ONE motion response filed!!! That's called THEFT. That's 3X the price I was charged by my former attorneys for the same amount of work in the past. It was so apparent when they were trying to call me everyday just to rack up my bill, I was avoiding answering because the attorney would call me and just completely ramble about things that my former family law attorneys never wasted time doing or trying to bill me for. They seemed to be intentionally wasting my money. "We need to talk about these things for 60 minutes" (could be entirely covered in a 5 minute email, instead I'm charged $680 for a single phone call!) Clearly cookin' the books.
I had planned to post pictures of the 2 invoices but decided I should not.
The 2 bills were:
$2245
&
$5930 !!!
Moral of the story, if you hire these guys you will have an exceptionally poor experience and be charged nearly 3x what other comparable attorneys charge for the same services.
BEWARE- this is all I can do to help you!
