What Our Customers Say
Brandon was amazing throughout the entire process. I was losing faith and wanted to give up but Brandon kept encouraging me and fought really hard on my behalf, his hard work and dedication to my case got my DUI 1st offense charge downgraded to Reckless driving. I will forever be thankful for what he did for me. Thanks Brandon!!
Barnes & Fersten are some phenomenal people! Brandon was my attorney and he did amazing work! He was very professional, kind, and knowledgeable in his field! He came in and did everything he said he would and I walked out with best case scenario for my case! I would recommend Brandon for anyone that needs attorney services. Brandon was very communicative with me through everything as I live 3 hours away from him and the court we went too. I was never kept in the dark and I was 100% satisfied with everything he did for me. Thank you Brandon
All these previous 5 star reviews are truthful. I retained this law firm for a very serious potential felony juvenile case. Brandon represented our child, took the time to answer any and all questions we had, and provide us legal advice that went above and beyond his retainer. He truly wanted what was best for our child and to represent our child to the best of his ability. Lauren, who is the office manager is very kind, responsive, and takes her time to listen and answer any questions or concerns. Both Brandon and Lauren working together made us feel at ease through the stressful process. They will truly be missed as I feel they are an extension of our family. I recommend Brandon to represent your child in any juvenile criminal case. Call their office and speak to Lauren, you will quickly feel like a valued potential client. Our case was resolved with a very positive outcome for our child.
