I had a very difficult emotionally and complicated divorce. My Ex was in the wrong, and turned out to be a narcissist. She tried to sink me, my reputation, and my business that I worked incredibly hard for. Despite my life falling apart and becoming self-destructive in the loss of hope I was feeling, Brenda went above and beyond to help me, consult me, comfort me, and was the strong voice that pushed me to persevere. She became a ray of hope and a friend throughout the long process and court proceedings. Brenda is an incredibly bright, strong, professional and forceful woman and lawyer who is also compassionate and down to earth. She helped me win duel custody of my son, my business, and gave me my life back. Three years later, my business has grown dramatically, my son is doing amazing, I have been given back my reputation, and I am very happy and finally at peace. I am forever in debt to Brenda, and grateful to have found such a wonderful person at a time when I truly needed it.

Atty. Keith Hanson is a great attorney. He is very easy to talk with and works tirelessly for his clients.

Brenda is an excellent lawyer and person; I highly recommend her. From my first meeting to the last time we spoke I found Brenda to be an empathetic consistent highly capable skilled proffesional. Brenda has the knowledge, experience, talent to handle the most challenging cases. My custody case might have been one of her best challenges to date , I don't know, regardless, Brenda won. I have never felt more compelled to right a review for anything or anyone. This is my first review ever. Brenda, great job, hopefully I have proven myself a better witness for you this time around. I rest my case.

I hired Brenda after reading her reviews and being underwhelmed with my previous lawyer. She helped navigate with firm kindness the rollercoaster that is my ex. She helped make a high stress situation and a highly manipulative ex much more manageable. We were able to get a signed parenting agreement that was in the best interest of me and my daughter without ever going to court. She had a firm grasp on the law, and a no nonsense approach. Always respectful and very responsive. I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone.

Mr. Hanson & his staff work very hard and do their very best to make a bad situation .. better. Thank you so much for all your efforts!

Brenda made a very difficult process as comfortable as possible. She was always professional and kind in every communication. She explained potential options clearly and in a timely manner. She was fair and I always felt as though she had my best interest in mind. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Custody suits are always tough, add to the mix that the person seeking custody is not a parent and it becomes even more tricky. Ms. Coppede was honest from the start, never promising anything but was reassuring about what could be expected. Her knowledge and understanding of NC law won our case. My niece and nephew can now lay their heads down at night without fear of what tomorrow may bring. When the other side tells you they can't stand your attorney, well you know you've got a great one. I would trust Brenda to help me with any legal issues I might have. Thank you, I can not express just how our family feels about what you have done for these children. May you find nothing but blessings in your future.

I hired Brenda last year based on her ratings on this website and a couple others. Searching for a lawyer is hard, even when you live in the same town as the case. I however live in California. I spoke to several law firms and read countless lawyer reviews before settling confidentiality with Ms. Coppede. Right from the start she was straight up with me. She didn't try to blind me with false hope nor say something and not follow through. Ms. Coppede was everything I had hoped she would be. She's on time, prepared, organized, level headed and I do not believe another lawyer could have produced the results she has. We won, she was excellent in trial, and it was obvious that nearly everyone we encountered in and around the courthouse has respect for her. Even the judge. Brenda Coppede is a great lawyer. You will be in good hands. Oh, and she has a great vocabulary.... Thank you again Brenda!

Brenda Coppede went way above and beyond to help our family. She was prompt, intelligent, and professional -- and also honest about the potential outcomes of our case. Her assistance was priceless to us and we will never forget it.

Brenda Coppede assisted me during a lengthy and contentious separation and divorce. She provided expert legal advice, exhibited very high standards of professionalism and offered wise counsel as we navigated numerous twists and turns over almost two years of negotiations. Brenda and her staff were also always available when new issues erupted. On one occasion she even came to my workplace and met with my co-workers and volunteers (on a weekend) after they were exposed to personal and private information related to my divorce. I fully recommend the services of Brenda and Siemens Family Law to anyone seeking professional, ethical and compassionate legal advice.
