Reviews

Attorney Stephanie Brinkley was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of South Carolina law, very professional and helpful throughout the entire process and thoroughly answered all of our questions. She explained everything in an easy-to-understand manner. We felt in great hands with her. Highly recommend!!

Brinkley Law Firm has the most EXCELLENT and KNOWLEDGEABLE Staff. Stephanie and her Team of Attorneys and Paralegals assisted me legally, during the hardest time of my Life. They were kind, professional, respectful and educated in Military Divorce Law. They worked hard to make sure I was treated fairly and given marital property that I rightfully deserved. They are BY FAR the ABSOLUTE BEST Law Firm! I HIGHLY recommend Brinkley Law Firm.

Brinkley Law Firm did a wonderful job on our case. They always listen and respond immediately to your requests. A dedicated team whom we thank warmly.

Stephanie first helped a while back to prevent my adopted son's bio mom from trying to cause mayhem in my family. She was able to reveal the truth and as such the bio mom's attorney dropped all efforts to sabotage the relationship with our son. More recently, Stephanie represented me in an amicable divorce. She took my needs and emotional reactions to a difficult time into consideration throughout the process. Legal knowledge and compassion made the process less painful. Stephanie took care of me and kept me focused. 1 year later and I still appreciate all she and her team did!!

Stephanie and her team provided a valued combination of humanity and integrity with rational legal strategy and expertise. They quickly earned my trust with their capabilities, access to other experts and ability to work with other stakeholders including financial planners. They handled all of this while also being firm on needing to face the realities of a partner not willing to work on saving our covenant, and encouraging me to focus on my own priorities and personal health. I would strongly recommend Brinkley Law Firm in having to deal with unfortunate and often uncontrollable realities of divorce.

STEER CLEAR AT ALL COSTS I would happily place this review at ZERO stars if it were possible. I recommend looking elsewhere. Please read the review in its entirety. I was assigned an attorney Christopher Kays for my divorce of 11 months. I was assured by him that this would be a straightforward process where no alimony would be transferred and that due to the short duration of the marriage, there would be little more than 50/50 division of marital assets. That was a complete lie. I understand that attorneys do not have a crystal ball but I was assured that this would be a routine and smooth litigation process due to the short duration of the marriage. Upon realization of the opposition counsel, the attorneys in the office consistently disparaged the opposing counsel and made light of the situation in front of me as if I had nothing to worry about. This law firm was steam rolled in litigating the agreement. I understand that in the state of South Carolina the man in the marriage is likely to lose more than the woman in the marriage. That being said, this law firm decided that it would be fair for me to assume well over 75% of the marital debt, allowed me to lose an entire investment property for which the plaintiff had (as I was told) no right to either the property or the equity in the property since the equity in the property was carried over from a non-marital account. Upon completion of the "agreement" my attorney informed me that I would pay $13,000 in alimony which doesn't include an additional $10,000 in spousal support during the process of the divorce. That I would be required to vacate ownership of an investment property that the plaintiff had no investment or risk or equity in. Upon completion of the agreement that Mr. Christopher Kays assured me was the fairest agreement he'd ever seen, we shook hands and he completely abandoned the case. I was provided some junior attorney that had nothing to do with the case and needed me to pay her very expensive hourly rate to "catch her up" on the case. I sat next to an attorney who allowed completely false "evidence" to be presented at the court hearing, that would be impossible to prove plausible. When asked by the judge about this "evidence" I openly denied it, in front of the judge and the attorney said I wasn't supposed to do that. Due to the "most fair agreement" this attorney's office has abandoned me and I am not legally allowed to speak to the plaintiff in the divorce while selling the property where they handed over the responsibility of selling the property to the plaintiff. She has no claim, title, deed or financial responsibility to the home. Her name is NOWHERE on any paperwork concerning ownership of this property, yet she is in control of the sale of the house. I have called and emailed questions after having been abandoned by this law firm and the litigating attorney of the firm assured me that she would help and not charge me for the questions that I had on the completion of my divorce. I was charged some $375 for a single email and for other questions that wouldn't have had to be asked if I weren't completely abandoned by this firm. If you are going through or about to go through a divorce, for your own good, and at all costs avoid this law firm. Customer service was decent they were really kind and all smiles while they maintained as much time and opportunity to clean you out of money through the difficult process of divorce.

The staff at Brinkley Law Firm are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They genuinely care about their clients and don't just treat you like a number. Their professionalism and attention to detail both appreciated and highly recommend.

I cannot speak highly enough about Stephanie and her team, including but not limited to, Aimee Casey. During the most difficult season of my life, they were kind, patient, knowledgeable, and determined, all simultaneously. They never lost sight of the emotional side of going through something so difficult. I am so very thankful for all that they did on my behalf. I wish that I never needed them, but once I did, I was glad to have them! Thank you Stephanie!

We so enjoyed working with the Brinkley Law Firm. Stephanie is engaging and authentic and extremely professional. So grateful for her efforts as well as all of our team. Her paralegal Aimee is also amazing! Such a great asset to our family during our family planning! thank you Brinkley Law Firm sincerely!! Bryan and Julie!

Had a great experience with Kaitlin Burke and the staff at Brinkley law firm. They were always friendly and answered all my questions and provided excellent legal guidance. I would definitely return for any future legal needs.

Can't say enough great things about Stephanie and her team. She and Aimee have been instrumental in helping my husband and me start our family, and we could not be more grateful. They have made the process so easy and we would not be where we are without them! Having a legal team that is always personally available to you any time you have a random question or need anything is a huge comfort. We are so grateful that we came across Stephanie and her team's path!
