Terrible GAL who rips apart families
Brandy was involved in my parents’ case. It was a horrible experience. She didn’t listen to
anything we told her because she already had her mind made up what she was going to do—she
didn’t listen and seemed obsessed with my sister. Brandy didn’t reply to my texts and barely
talked to my middle brother and me at all. She split up my sibling group and moved my two younger
siblings (16 and 12) to Tennessee for no reason. My siblings and me told her my dad was lying about
my mom and that my mom never did anything to hurt us, but Brandy told everyone her mind was made up
and that’s what she was going to do. She completely ignored that my dad was under investigation
with social workers when we lived there and had social workers at his house 3-4 times a week for
crisis therapy and she even ignored an ER doctor’s report that my dad hung my sister upside down
by her ankles and gave her a concussion.
What’s funny is if Brandy was so concerned with my mom, why did she leave my brother here? If
he’s supposedly such a problem, she had no problem leaving him with my mom. For the two she
ripped away from us and moved them to another state—when they were here for part of the summer,
not once did she check on them to make sure everything was okay. Brandy hasn’t even talked to my
brother since March of last year, so she can’t be that concerned.
She also asked a lot of questions about me and my boyfriend that seemed really weird for an adult to
ask about and like homoph*bic and really focused in on my sister’s religion where it seemed like
she was against the religion my sister chooses. What’s funny is my dad forces my siblings to go
to church and be something they're not. No one forced my sister to be someone she wasn’t at my
mom’s house.
Long story short, if it didn’t agree with her decision or with what my dad said, Brandy didn’t
listen. I even told them in court about him punching me in the head with a closed fist and telling
me he should have thrown me down the stairs and obviously she did not care, she was just in it to
bleed everyone dry and destroy a sibling group.
She’s really terrible at her job and seems she's only in this to ruin lives and run up a huge bill
because she can. If she’s your guardian ad litem, and you’re a kid (or anyone really) I feel
terrible for you. I wish I could leave 0 stars.
