The Best

Brett is one of the best lawyers i have ever had, not only is he smart and does his job very well but he has so much empathy and understanding to his clients and his job, he listens and makes sure you receive the best outcome, I had serious charges against me and I walked out a free women with an ama...zing outcome, because of him I’m able to be with my kids and that was the goal from the very beginning, he is definitely affordable and I can’t thank him enough.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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.
