1 /5 Brandi Priest: Substandard. Ive had very little contact with, meeting him for the first time in court after only 1 or 2 phone brief chats. I had to repeatedly ask for documentation and updates. explaining anything, asking any questions, confirming anything directly to me. I didnt receive documentation until a couple of days ago, at the end of my case! Billable hours were not shared with me either. I asked for research to be done on a couple of things with no results/reply! He either forgot or it wasnt worth he handsomely paid time. I received a few emails summarizing his interpretation of current status (which were wrong). I received more information directly from the Court than I did my own attorney. Keep looking for another attorney if youre looking for a subject matter expert who is being paid for that expertise and youre expecting them to be transparent working on your behalf. Hes fees are exorbitant compared to all of the other attorneys Ive dealt with. He ensures all of his fees are paid up front and initially compared to anything else being paid; too so be aware of that. Youre better off to do some research upfront so you can challenge and make demands of an attorney which really trumps the expense of hiring a subject matter expert.
