Mr. Brendan Guilford explained to me how the case could possibly turn out, and he was accurate. I am happy with my choice. I have recommended him to my family.

I hired Mr. Guilford to help with revisions of children's custody arrangements. He was professional and knowledgeable. He was able to get the results that he discussed in our consultation. His services were worth every dollar.

I emailed Brendan and we met the same day to talk about my divorce options. He was very friendly and didnt push me to start the process until Im ready. Im going to hire him when its time.

Spoke to me in regular language and didn't act like he was too good for me. Seemed like he cared more than my earlier lawyer.

Brendan represented me during my recent Divorce proceedings. He kept me informed every step of the way, and explained the Divorce process as it progressed. He and I worked together for about 2 years from beginning to end. I was pleased overall with the outcome. As with most Divorces, it could have ended better, but certainly could have been worse. I believe having Mr. Guilford in my corner greatly improved the outcome. He is professional, knowledgeable, and provides prompt responses to any and all concerns. I would definitely recommend Mr. Guilford to others.

I highly recommend Mr. Guilford if you're in need of a family lawyer. He's very thorough, I felt very confident with him through the entire process. He explained everything thoroughly to me and made certain I understood every step we were taking. He's hard working and cares for his clients. If ever I need help again, I'll certainly turn towards him.

Brendan was professional and realistic about all my questions and requests. I was very please with how he handled the process from the first phone call to a final letter he sent me thanking me for selecting his services.

Brendan's communication skills are excellent. He explains things to me in a way that I could understand. He is responsive and returns all my calls in a timely manner. The Service quality that he gives is like nothing I have experience before. I always felt as though my legal issue was his top priority. Overall working with this lawyer was worth the expense. :-)
