Brad Ponder took my case to the next level. I had more evidence against me than for me because of a preexisting injury and the way Brad is able to pull the new facts away from the old facts is absolutely amazing. His attention to detail and his memory are outstanding. I was worried when I hired Brad that this would be one of those law firms where I couldn't ever get in touch with my lawyer when I needed him the most but not Brad. He was ALWAYS a phone call away and if I had to leave him a message I never waited more than 30 mins to an hour to hear from him. If he was in court or on another case he would have a partner call me to make sure I was okay. It is easy to tell that Brad Ponder truly does care for you and he will do everything in his power and with his skillful knowledge to make sure that you are awarded what you deserve and not something petty. So don't worry about your case if you hire Brad Ponder. Rest assured that he will be there for you and get you what you are due. That is if you have a legit case to begin with. Just always be honest with him and be upfront with everything. He can't win your battles if he doesn't know the entire story or all the facts involved. Thanks Brad Ponder. I will always be indebited to you.

I own a small business. A large corporation stole some very valuable proprietary information from my company. Mr. Ponder fought tirelessly against the corporation's group of lawyers. He never backed down. In the end, I was compensated fully plus he got punitive damages against the company. Brad Ponder is scared of no one and I recommend him for any plaintiff matter.
