Brett E. Jones

I knew I found the right lawyer to represent me in my divorce, the moment I met Brett. She immediately put me at ease with her ability to listen, empathize and explain the options that were available with regard to the divorce process. From that first day, until my divorce was finalized, over a year... later, she remained personable, attentive to every detail, responsive to every question and concern and completely professional in her advocacy of me and her dealings with opposing counsel. At every step, she was patient, instructive about the law, pro-active in moving the process along and fiercely competent in her skills as an attorney. It comes as no surprise to me that she has been recognized as one of the best lawyers in New York State. It is an honor that she truly deserves. If you are looking for a divorce / family lawyer, you need to meet Brett Jones. You’ll know immediately, as I did, that you found one of the best lawyers out there.

Brett started working with me in 2017. Needless to say, I was still reeling from an ending marriage, and I was beginning to worry about my child, who would be inevitably caught in between. I needed help, and an old family friend, who is also in the field, recommended Ms. Jones, Esq. by name, saying s...he was one of the best for a situation like this. One lawyer recommending another lawyer speaks volumes on its own, so I proceeded. From the start, Brett was a great listener, who shared in my frustrations and sympathized, but she also reminded me that "this does not work if we don't work together." Since then, Brett has been a fiercely logical advocate in my case, she has been on top of my countless questions and issues, responsive in a timely manner, and she has straightened out and eased many situations in my case. She has been transparent with me and honest about what is worthy to fight for in my case, and what will not render a positive outcome. She has been poised and has paid close attention to details in my case and for when both lawyers have needed to meet to discuss the judgement and the countless revisions. She has reminded me to be logical, and to not give way to frustration or feelings of giving up, and when dealing with an ex as problematic as mine, this is no small feat. And each time I have needed to attend court with Brett and meet to discuss the judgement and our revisions to it, I have never once lost in my privileges or in what I was requesting, and I attribute this to Brett's logic, reason, and ability to communicate effectively for progress on my behalf. My ex is represented by another, well-known law firm in Dutchess County; one that many may turn to in a situation like this. My recommendation resonates with the friend who directed me to her in the first place, with the several other people on this forum: Retain Brett E. Jones, because she is truly one of the best lawyers out there.

I have heard for the past 20 years that Lazar & Schwartz is the premier matrimonial law firm in the area. Having retained Brett Jones' services for my own family matter, their reputation surpassed my expectations. From my first meeting with her I felt I was in good hands. Her compassion and competen...ce were evident then, and continued throughout my time with her. I always felt that she acted with my best interests in mind. Brett's ability to clearly communicate difficult legal concepts was impressive, and she was patient when I asked for clarification. She also navigated well the challenges of interactions with the other parties. With her professionalism and caring, Brett made what could have been an overwhelming and difficult experience much easier. I am eternally grateful for her support and the outcome she was able to achieve for me.

i hired Brett in October 2016 to represent me in a divorce. Although the process did not go smoothly, due to a non participatory defendant, Brett pushed through to get a positive outcome for me. Communication between Brett and I was excellent. I always knew where we were in the process and she pass...ed along any and all information as soon as she obtained it. Brett responded to all my communications to her expeditiously. Brett discussed the pros and cons of all necessary decisions so I always knew the impact of my choices. I am very pleased with my representation and I would definitely recommend Brett to anyone unfortunate enough to be facing a divorce.
