About Brett
Biography
I am an Associate at The Law Firm of Willig, Williams & Davidson. I am licensed in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. My primary focus is Family Law (domestic relations). I counsel and represent clients in divorce, custody, support, paternity, domestic violence, protection from abuse, restraining order, child guardianship, and dependency cases. I represent husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, grandparents, and third parties. I also practice in small claims court. I have experience negotiating settlements with creditors and representing clients against contractors and other service providers. I also have experience litigating dog bite cases and other cases related to animal behavior.
I joined Willig, Williams & Davidson in 2008 after serving as a judicial law clerk in the Family Court of Delaware. While attending Temple University's Beasley School of Law I practiced in Legal Aid Office and served as a mediator with the Domestic Relations Mediation Clinical Program. I was a staff member on the Journal of Science, Technology and Environmental Law. I also completed two internships with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, where I primarily prosecuted narcotics cases and argued appeals.

Separation Agreement
Brett helped me with a terrible situation with my husband back in July. Unfortunately in September we tried a reconciliation that did not last due to my husband's infidelity. A new Separation Agreement was prepared. Due to my fragility, he not only counseled me, but he tried to protect me in any w...

Such an amazing lawyer
My ex husband and I have been in family court for a while. Brett Zeitlin made sure my ex husband and I could come to a conclusion on the support of our daughter. I'm truly happy to have Brett Zeitlin as an attorney.

If you are a father, do not let Brett J. Zeitlin represent you, he panders to mothers.
Brett J. Zeitlin panders to mothers in domestic court. If you find yourself in the unfortune position of his guy representing you against your child's mother, consider yourself without a lawyer, he will help your child's mother and leave you high and dry. I got Zeitlin thru my employment, after I ini...

Replied last December 8, 2015I am sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with my representation. Your negative review really surprises me. I represented you in numerous domestic relations matters over the last four years and the results were always favorable. As a domestic relations attorney it is my job to provide clients with an unemotional assessment of their legal options, and to frankly discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their cases. Then, it is my job to fight to get the best results for my clients, through negotiation and litigation. I pride myself on vigorously representing the interests of all of my clients, whether those clients are fathers, mothers, grandparents, or third parties. I represent every client with zeal and integrity, and I will always pursue my clients’ goals with tenacity. Thank you for the opportunity to represent you in your domestic relations matters. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
