Hired Law Firm

They are knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. I called their office out of the blue without any expectations and by the end of that first call, I knew I was lucky to have found this firm. Ed Rees knows his stuff and you'd be silly to consider using a different law firm.

Hired Law Firm

I felt that the money spent did not meet my expectations. It seemed that the process was all that mattered and not the client. When speaking to the attorney it seemed that the outcome has already been determined in spite of questions that went unanswered.

Hired Law Firm

Brandenburg-Rees "represented" me during my divorce. I was in no state of mind to be making life changing decisions. I was depending on my attorney to look out for my best interest. Their incompetent staff documented I had a $6000 income when I had $0. James stared at the floor while my exs attorney told me my ex had spent enough money on me during our 27 yrs of marriage. Jackie, who had no business saying anything, told me if it was a matter of $40,000 it wasn't worth it. Sean was indifferent and really didn't care. Ed didn't have a clue 3/4 the time. I was being harassed and tormented by my ex and wasn't in a good place. I was bounced around between Ed, James, and Sean. I was depending on Ed to help me, to look out for my best interest. They failed miserably. Their service wasn't worth one penny but they charged me $10,000. At the start, I was told my son owed them $2000 and I'd have to pay his debt before they'd represent me. My desperate mistake. Their incompetence.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
