DV Assault

I was charged with assaulting my spouse. I had no place to live when I bailed out. I contacted attorney LeBrasseur who contact my spouse and filed a motion for my return home. We were in court in about 4 days. He was able to convince the prosecutor to file my case at the hearing. I am very thankful f...or his hard work and immediate investigation of my case.

Best OUI Attorney there is

I was facing a second offense OUI. Attorney LeBrasseur explained to me the two processes I was facing. He walked me through each one reviewing the elements of the crimes and the proceedings. I wanted to accept the plea being offered but Attorney LeBrasseur explained to me my trial options and why he ...thought a trial was in my best interest considering the offer made. At trial he not only mesmerized me but the jurors as well. I am thankful for his hard work and the Not Guilty he obtained me.

You will not go wrong

I was facing an Aggravated Assault charge for defending myself. Attorney LeBrasseur listen to everything I had to say, made himself available and did a great job explaining everything to me. He did a thorough investigation. He had no problem bringing my case to trial and successfully defending me. I ...am so thankful for his expertise. You cannot go run with Attorney LeBrasseur!

Simply the best

Thank you Robert for all of your help. Being arrested was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I felt my life was ruined. I feared I would lose my employment and my home. I’ve seen others go through similar situations and I never knew what it would be like to be on this side of it. ... Throughout this experience I have been judged, ridiculed, humiliated and degraded, and told it was all my fault. When I asked for help it simply brought on more judgment and hatred due to my alleged crime. You are the only person who helped me. For that I owe you so much. You are intelligent, diligent, unbiased and you do not judge. You are selfless. I believe you seek truth and justice. We need more people like you in the world. I don’t know if I deserve the help you gave me but I am so very thankful to have received your flier in the mail. I wish you all the best and luck with your practice. If you keep helping others the way you have helped me so quickly and effectively, you deserve all the success you glean and more. Thank you for caring. All the best, K.......

"I write to highly endorse Robert LeBrasseur and to warmly recommend him to anyone searching for a highly qualified, articulate, and practical attorney - a trait that is becoming more and more rare in the legal community. Robert is smart enough to listen before responding, again an increasingly rare trait, and is a very passionate and zealot advocate who genuinely cares about his clients, and the legal process. His ethics are beyond reproach. ."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
