Brody Law Firm

My Experience With Attorney Bernard Brody Hello everyone. My name is Son Hoang Do, and I would like to share my personal experience with attorney Bernard Brody. In April 2025, my probation officer told me that I had technical violations of my probation. I was extremely worried because I had never been in that situation before. I was also concerned that if I was arrested, I could have serious immigration consequences. A friend helped me search online, and we found Mr. Bernard Brody. He told me that he had many years of experience handling criminal cases involving sex offenders. I explained my entire situation to him, including my previous conviction in Georgia, my probation, and my transfer to Colorado. I specifically told him that I was afraid of being taken into custody and having problems with ICE. He told me not to worry and said that he would work on my case and keep me out of jail until the case was resolved. I asked him how much he would charge me. He told me that his fee would be $25,000, paid in one payment. I agreed. My sister and I wired the full $25,000 through Wells Fargo within 24 hours. I still have the bank receipt and records showing the payment to the attorney. Three days later, my probation officer called me and told me to turn myself in at Gwinnett County Jail. I immediately called Mr. Brody and asked him what was happening. He told me to go ahead and turn myself in and said that he would take care of it. I followed his advice and surrendered myself. About 10 days later, Mr. Brody came to see me. He brought documents and asked me to sign them, but he did not explain to me what the documents were or what I was signing. After I signed them, he told me he would take the papers to the court. After that, I never saw him again. He did not call me or come to see me again while I was serving my three-month sentence. After I finished my sentence, ICE took me into custody, and I was held by ICE for another 11 months. During this entire period, I felt that I received very little communication or meaningful legal assistance from Mr. Brody. I had paid $25,000 and trusted him to represent me, so I was deeply disappointed with my experience. On June 26, 2026, I was sent back to Vietnam. After I returned to Vietnam, my sister contacted Mr. Brody and asked if he could refund at least some of the $25,000. He refused. I also contacted him from Vietnam and explained that my life had been turned upside down. I told him that I had worked very hard for that money and asked him to please refund at least part of it. I was even crying while talking to him, but he still refused. $25,000 is a very large amount of money to me. I am sharing this review because I trusted him after seeing positive reviews online. Based on my personal experience, however, I did not receive the level of communication and legal assistance that I expected after paying such a large fee. I hope people considering hiring an attorney will carefully research the attorney, understand the fee agreement, and make sure they understand what legal services they are receiving before paying a large amount of money. I have additional details and documents related to my case, including proof of payment, and may share more about my experience in the future. This is my personal experience and my honest review. You said I was lying, but what did you actually do to help me after taking my $25,000? You don't even have the receipt. You promised to keep me out of jail, but you never kept that promise.

Attorney Brody and his investigator, Shannon, were complete professionals from start to finish. When I was falsely accused, we initially hired another attorney. We paid our previous attorney’s fees in full upfront, only to receive terrible service and very little communication. Once we switched to Attorney Brody and Shannon, we finally felt that we had hope. No matter when we called or had questions, they were always responsive, compassionate, and professional. They kept us informed throughout the process and genuinely made us feel that they cared about our case and our family. Yesterday, they called to tell us that all of the charges had been dismissed. I truly believe this wonderful outcome was the result of Attorney Brody and Shannon’s hard work, dedication, and professionalism. My wife and I finally feel like we have our lives back, and we will forever be grateful. I would highly recommend Attorney Brody and his team to anyone in need of legal representation.
