About:

Not only will you rely on an attorney to guide you through the legal process, but you will discuss personal information and intimate details.  An attorney should be more than a legal expert – an attorney should be a confidant. Legal advocacy is not a “one-size fits all” service .  Every case is different, and each client has different experiences, needs, and desires.  A true representative must take the time to get to know each client. In order to be an effective advocate, an attorney must understand each client’s unique situation.

"Home wrecker. Didn’t even know her child client’s circumstances and continued to argue for breaking up a family for 2 years. She’s the kind of horror show “attorney” that you see in the movies.. soulless. btw Brittany, she’s home now and happier than she’s ever been. Maybe you should have listened to her rather than the words of a bitter ex. Your actions, or rather lack thereof, hurt a lot of people for a long time, and mostly a young teenage girl."

"Short story: Hire her. I can honestly say that during the nightmare that was my life at the time, Brittany was incredible. Long story: My ex and I had a verbal custody agreement in regards to our 5 year old daughter. When I let my ex know I would be moving in with my new partner, he filed an emergency order accusing us of everything he could think of. His emergency order was denied but he still withheld my daughter from me for months. She had never been away from me for more than 24 hours. I really felt that I could not afford an attorney but I hired Brittany under duress after not seeing my daughter for 64 days. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. Brittany was clear, thorough, and straight forward. She was kind without being emotional. She worked with me financially in a way no one else would. She was also more affordable than anyone else I spoke with and came highly recommended by a much more costly Attorney’s office. She is a fantastic hearing lawyer and seems to have a good relationship with contra costa family law judges. Brittany not only helped me with a stipulation order that allowed me to see my daughter before the hearing, but I also have 85% custody and my ex will never be able to keep my daughter from me again. A couple things: I don’t think that you can expect immediate callbacks with any lawyer, and that applies with this office as well. I usually had to call and have an appointment made for 24-48 hours later. It was anxiety inducing at the time but it’s just the reality of not being someone’s only client. However, if it was something that was very time sensitive she made an effort to call me sooner than my appointment time. There were a few things that I felt were super important that she did not, but there’s a reason she’s a lawyer and I’m not and I had to put some trust in her. She did a much better job that I ever could have on my own. And speaking of doing things on your own, having your own information straight and organized goes a long way. Don’t leave everything to your lawyer or something will get missed. I wrote out summaries for her constantly just reminding her of my desired outcome and points I wanted brought up. I paid the extra money to talk to her the day before court hearings to make sure we were on the same page about everything. All in all, I am so grateful to Brittany and recommended her wholeheartedly."

"Horrible Horrible Horrible choice of presentation. I watched a friend of mine go through a vicious divorce and this attorney did absolutely nothing to assist him. She had no problem repeatedly taking his money. Thousands of dollars into this case and she stopped responding. She might as well have handed the opposing council the case. She offered no defense to the allegations of the other party which were undocumented and without any evidence. Very unprofessional. She didn't respond to emails or phone calls right up to court dates. I can't even believe she claims she knows Family Law."
