Posted by Beverly | May 18, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Gives his all to legal issues, and blanks on administrative followup.

This attorney has yet to grasp that clients pay for expertise in facing the courts. Given sufficient time to consider, he persisted in arguing to me that it was the Court’s fault my automatic expungement did not go through. He accepted no responsibility for not having advised me on followup after m...y case was dismissed. Nor did he provide any inside Court contacts. He just doesn’t get it.

Posted by Gregory | March 28, 2022 | Hired Attorney

Gets the job done

Brett, I can not thank you more for your profound and outstanding effort through this uncomfortable situation, that you never once gave lightly. Much appreciate every second of your time.

Best money I've ever spent

Before I hired Brett I had a public defender who offered me 5 years in prison. Brett was able to get me 4 years probation. I can't recommend this firm enough. Best money I've ever spent.

Posted by Justin | November 15, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Experienced, trustworthy advisor.

I hired Brett to defend me in a case that could have had potentially serious repercussions, and was personal in nature. I was very pleased with Brett’s professionalism and his very precise understanding of the legal options for my situation. I haven’t had to deal with many legal/law matters, so I rea...lly appreciated Brett’s patience and clear communication. He doesn’t waste words, and doesn’t sugar-coat anything. I really appreciated that, as it gave me confidence. Brett was easy to connect with, and I always felt like he was available to discuss legal matters. Brett achieved a very positive outcome for me. I would highly recommend working with Brett.

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
