Cost

Questionable law practices
Files unnecessary motions to increase her fees. Extremely combative with clients. Just the worst attorney I have ever had the displeasure to meet.
Run the other way
Whatever you do, run the other way. I lost everything because of this woman. Tapped into my retirement to hire her and I have nothing to show for it. Nothing at all. She should be suspended for her behavior. I lost custody of my children. I hired Brenda and my ex hired a better attorney. Brenda attacked my ex in court papers, thinking my ex would break. Instead, this angered my ex’s attorney, and they enlisted the help of 3 other attorneys to fight her. I lost everything. I’m trying to work with my ex now to repair what Brenda broke but my ex is over it. Brenda completely severed any relationship I may have to coparent with my ex wife. Her lies, accusations, and cruel demeanor made my ex wife see me as exactly as her. Should have listened to my friends and fired her.
Brenda Storey Suspended
Just Google Brenda Storey suspended. That should give you all the information you need about how poor this attorney is. Unethical, poor decisions and just in it for her clients money.
Terrible person
Personal experience. Total atomic approach of threats and constant motions with no resolve. Money hungry.
Creates Turmoil
I understand not all cases will be civil, but you shouldn’t have your attorney fanning the fire, which is exactly what Brenda did in my case. My divorce wasn’t a great experience, as many aren’t, but it didn’t have to be so contentious. Instead of speaking with the other attorney she would file motion after motion after motion. This not only racked up my costs but pushed my ex to get a much more high powered attorney, which hurt me in the end. If I could go back and redo this chapter of my life, I would have hired a different attorney.
The absolute worst
Brenda cannot be suspended fast enough. She lacks morals and ethics and made my situation worse. I hired her thinking I wanted a pit bull but have realized that her litigation style drove up my costs while not accomplishing anything. Ultimately, at the end of the process, she pushed it to right before trial and then told me we have to settle. My ex wanted to settle months before and he came out ahead. This isn’t about winning and losing and the children were the ones that got hurt through this. She is just a pretty awful attorney that only thinks about her pocket book.
She makes everything worse
Brenda Should lose her license. You hire an attorney to help you in a horrible situation. You think they do they right thing for you. Brenda filed motions that were unnecessary and frankly just angered the opposing party. The opposing party wanted to settle but Brenda never informed me of their full negotiations. She wasted my money, time, and now I am stuck trying to repair a relationship that was made worse at her hands. Whatever you read on Avvo take with a grain of salt. I tried to publish this same review on their and they denied it. She is just a money hungry attorney. She may be smart but she has no morals.
Made things difficult
I used Brenda for a bit until I realized what she was doing. She fights hard, I have to give her credit for that, but at what cost? The relationship I had with my ex wasn’t great but it wasn’t terrible. Now however, because of Brenda’s litigation tactics, we have an awful coparenting relationship. Instead of thinking long term and how this will impact the children, Brenda just cared about winning, and not winning for the children’s sake. She drove up costs, filed unnecessary motions, would never return the other sides phone calls, and now she is facing an impending suspension. Anyone that uses her should understand they will never have a good relationship with their coparent because Brenda ensures to burn every bridge their was.
Impending Suspension
Brenda should be used with caution. Her website still says she is respected and a top attorney rated by national magazines; however, this is not true. When they heard about her suspension they removed her from all their sites. She creates more problems for the parties, ultimately to just drive her costs up. She says she is respected, but once I left her firm, I heard that attorneys have no respect for her. Not because she’s good, but because she makes everything harder. If you want to have a good coparenting relationship with your ex choose someone else.
Spend a lot for a little
This attorney is notorious for unethical practices and has an impending suspension. Instead of upholding the high standards of the law, she herself lies in documents to the court, bullies the other side to try and strong arm them (ultimately hurting her clients case), and will push a case straight to a couple days before litigation to waste her clients money before telling them they should settle. I should have done my research and hired another attorney. Brenda did nothing to help me or my family case.
