Reviews
Brittany Sumner and her assistant Stephanie Kinkaid were exactly what we were looking for and what we needed for our custody case. They were honest through the entire process. My boyfriend was trying to get custody of his daughter and Brittany walked him through the process and the pros and cons of each situation. She never gave him unclear expectations and never got his hopes up about the uphill battle that he was going through. She had honest timelines and was clear about what he needed to do and what he needed to proved on his end so that she could do her best job. However, she was on his side the entire time and told him that if she did not think that she had a case she would not waste his time and money. Both Brittany and Stephanie were great with communication and would get back to both of us in a very timely manner. They answered questions in a way that we could understand them and broke very difficult legal processes down into step by step processes so that it didn't seem so overwhelming. Brittany showed up in court and was the force that we needed. She stayed focused and did not smear the other parent. She focused on the positives of her client instead of only talking about the negatives of the other parent. Brittany was able to help a father win sole custody of his daughter and because of her and Stephanie and their hard work, that little girl is living the life that she always deserved.
Brittany Sumners — Notable UCCJEA and Interstate Custody Knowledge My experience with Johnson & Taylor left a strong impression, particularly due to Brittany Sumners’ depth of knowledge regarding the UCCJEA and interstate custody issues. When I first contacted the firm, Stephanie Kinkaid answered the phone. Her professionalism, calm confidence, and responsiveness immediately stood out. She listened carefully, understood the urgency of my situation, and was able to schedule a consultation with Brittany Sumners on short notice, even during a holiday week. That initial interaction gave me confidence in the firm’s organization and client care. My legal situation was complex and involved custody issues across multiple states, a detailed factual history, and legal questions connected to a prior divorce. I had already consulted with several attorneys and firms, both locally and elsewhere. During my consultation, Brittany was the first attorney who clearly understood how the interstate elements and UCCJEA considerations affected the case as a whole. Her feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and grounded in a clear understanding of jurisdictional law. Although my time working with Johnson & Taylor was relatively brief, the guidance Brittany provided—particularly during the initial consultation—proved extremely valuable. She offered direct, honest insights that helped clarify realistic options and next steps. That clarity informed many decisions I made afterward and helped me better understand the legal landscape I was navigating. For anyone dealing with custody matters that involve multiple states or UCCJEA-related questions, Brittany Sumners is an attorney worth considering. Her knowledge, professionalism, and ability to explain complex legal issues in a clear and respectful way stood out to me. I also appreciated the professionalism and care shown by Stephanie Kinkaid throughout the process. Together, they reflected a client-focused, ethical approach that made a difficult situation easier to navigate.
I was very happy with my experience with the Johnson and Taylor Law Firm. Mai Vang and Brittney Grover did an excellent job of representing me. Their correspondence to me was spot on and in a very timely manner. Mai’s ability to get my objectives met with the opposing Attorney was perfect. Brittany was always available to me when Mai was in court or with another client. I appreciate all they did for me in this difficult situation. The outcome was better than expected. I would highly recommend them and would use this team again without hesitation.
I would like to sincerely thank you and your entire team for all the help, guidance, and support you have provided throughout this process. Your dedication truly went above and beyond, and it meant so much to us to have such a knowledgeable and caring team by our side every step of the way. We genuinely appreciate your patience, professionalism, and commitment. Thank you for making what could have been a very stressful experience much easier and for always taking the time to guide us through everything. With gratitude and appreciation, 🙏🏽 Gigi Guido-Resendez
