Brueggemann & Sharma, P.C.

"If your child does not come with you for your parenting time, then you pick your child up, throw them over your shoulder, strap them in your car, and shut them in their room at your house." This was the advice Rex Brueggemann gave me when, in 2022, I engaged with him to represent me in the separation from my non-married partner of over 15 years. Rex consistently gave me advice that was counter to my interests as a father/parent and as a business owner. His tactic seems to rely on heavily pressuring his clients to "settle", much to the favor of the opposing party, while not acting on my requests that would balance the end results of the ruling order. In the end, I had to terminate my engagement with Rex and hire another attorney to represent me. Hiring Rex was a waste of time and money, and it cost me significant leverage with gaining equal parenting time for my children. In the end, he wouldn't even refund the balance of my retainer, adding to the ridiculousness of this experience. I only hope this review helps others save time and money and hardship.

My wife and I used Rex for our estate planning. He did such an outstanding job that I referred friends to him when they were in need of assistance. Rex is always available for questions and simplifies complex matters. I am grateful for his expertise and kind soul!

Rex charges more than what his value is. He is very nonchalant and laid back. It seems like he does not even want to do the minimum for the retainer fee he charges. He will nickel and dime you and you will not get any of the retainer money back even though he may say in the initial consultation that you will get a refund of what's not used. He does not give you the bake if what he charges you.

I began my case with a firm in Portage that I let go due to improper representation, and was referred to Brueggemann and Sharma by a well respected Kalamazoo firm. I was told they were honest, cared about their clients and were dependable Attorneys. Rex represented me in a Federal Divorce, which wasn't easy. My experience with the firm was excellent, as Rex was brutally honest in telling me what I could expect, thereby eliminating a battle that would amount to costly fees and limited results. He and his technical staff, Marcia Cornell, were prompt in getting the required paperwork filed on time, keeping me informed regarding all matters related to the case, and simply communicating. I could not have asked for a better Attorney, as he was not only prompt and efficient, but well versed in Federal retirement and divorce law. He is someone who prepares diligently for a case, not ten minutes prior to representation. I am grateful he took my case that was not his originally, and turned something wrong into something right. Most importantly, it was refreshing to work with an Attorney that is honest, has great character, and genuinely cares about his clients. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Brueggeman and Sharma!

Rex Brueggeman is A very respectable guy. If you need a divorce, custody, wills and trusts attorney if you give him a call. He is super personable and really likes to help people out.
