The Law Office Of Bradley R. Tengler

Attorney Tengler was very straightforward and never failed to give me my risk/reward options during my custody case for my son. He is very calculated with his decision making. Holden and Ryan at his office were also very helpful and friendly whenever I had questions. Many thanks to their team

Bradley and his team are professional. He was able to help me to get a divorce even when I am oversea. Highly recommend Bradley and his team.

I called to setup consultation for my wife. Was for the next day. Call never came after my wife took time out of work to make sure that she was made available around there schedule. Called after appointment was missed left message no call back. Called early that morning to ask if there was miscommunication or maybe my wife didn’t receive the call. No I was told the attorney must have been running late. Questioned why we weren’t notified or even called to ask for a reschedule. Then question if this was the type of representation I was going to get from this law office. I said good day and hung up. I have read numerous reviews with this attorney office missing appointments and being very hard to get a hold of. I can say I don’t always listen to bad reviews because I know some people get mad and lash out on internet but try to have my own experience before I judge. Well I can say if they can’t even have the simple courtesy’s for people that are in a tremendous amount of need for there service then they don’t deserve my business. Find a attorney that cares about there clients not there retainer fees.

Mr.Tengler, I hired you and your office with confidence that you would fight for me. That you would treat me with respect and without prejudice and use the law to represent me. Instead you took my $3500 retainer knowing I lived out of state knowing my history and how difficult my case was. You choose to represent me and for months you did nothing. You obtained my money and or very first phone call you told me you knew the other lawyer on a personal level and she would’ve never conducted her business unfair which is not the case. Not only did you know my opposing counsel,I know for a fact that you have clients that you have met on a personal level which I know on a personal level as well. You judged by my past and my distance that no matter what you would profit. I live all the way in Hawaii and I trusted you with my money and was confident you would fight for me. I gave you my money and for months you did nothing, for months I received no status. Hawaii had no problem conducting legal matters all through COVID-19 but apparently you tried to blame the slowness on COVID. You made me wait around and then said it was cause I didn’t sign paperwork which I was not informed by a phone call ,which you did not send to my residence and given the distance you would think there would be multiple forms of contact. You conducted everything through email and thought that was enough. With the money you obtained you would think that I would at least get an assistant to call and ask about paperwork. I am a client and do not know how the law or paperwork work. That is why I hired you. To inform me and to keep me informed. Only after I posted on social media on a Friday about my lack of confidence in you and how I wanted to fire you is when I got a phone call. A phone call which magically happened on a Saturday the day after I made that Facebook post. All the sudden on a weekend you call to say you filed something for me. So seems to me you only care when your reputation and money are on the line. I with drew from you and was scared to hire another attorney from Rockford cause I didn’t want my time and money wasted again. When I confronted you on why I hadn’t received phone calls, you had the audacity to say “Well phone calls cost money” ... well isn’t that why you got $3,500 upfront? So you could pick up a phone and use my money. Now I am defenseless in court. I have no drug history or history of abuse or neglect. I even passed a hair follicle and my opposing party used the fact that I was in abusive relationships. So apparently if you’re abused it’s your fault and you will continued to be haunted and punished for it as long as you live. The Rockford court system does not care for victims. I have changed my life around and have been stable and in a healthy place for a while. All I needed was a good attorney to fight for me. All I got was someone who did not care and took my money with no intention of fallowing through on the fighting for me part. As I said Hawaii had no problem conducting legal matters through COVID. All you had were excuses. I hope you don’t continue conducting your business this way.

Couldn’t help me get more custody of either of my children. He dragged out everything and didn’t keep me up to date and once COVID started it got even worse. Was telling my exes lawyer that I just wanted to keep pushing the court day back which was a lie. I felt like he really took advantage of me and my situation. Would definitely not recommend him as a family lawyer. he his very arrogant and I don’t think he was worth what I was charged. **He did reach out and apologize a few days later.
