A dedicated Lawyer

I entered a malpractice lawsuit after a dentist failed to adhere to my wishes not to touch an embedded tooth that left me deemed dentally handicapped. I first consulted with Brett that came to my home and I knew after speaking with him that he was a no nonsense attorney looking out for my best intere...st. Brett's compassion and understanding helped me get through the process. I would recommend Brett to anyone seeking representation. I will remain forever thankful.

Best Attorney -- EVER!

I highly recommend Brett -- he's reliable, efficient, saves you money and time, and is the most responsible and responsive attorney I've known. Not only did he do a great job of handling our legal situation, but he helped take away a lot of stress. He was recommended to me by someone very prominent i...n our community, and I can see why after having worked with him.

Wonderful attorney

Hired Brett after our daughter was in an accident. He represented her with integrity and determination. He not only helped with her case, but also gave her great advice about how to deal with the aftermath of her wreck. Highly recommend Brett to anyone who has gone through a similar ordeal.

Above and Beyond

I hired Attorney Brett Dressler for a Personal Injury incident in Charlotte, NC. Dressler is by far the best attorney I have worked with and highly recommend any one else with legal matters he can assist with to contact him. Dressler is in constant contact with you regarding your case keeping you inf...ormed and up to date. He is straight forward and puts all the cards on the table giving you your options and letting YOU decide how to proceed. When I would need to contact Dressler regarding my case, I always received a response directly from him within an hour the majority of the time no matter day or night. He works directly with you instead of pawning you off on a paralegal. When it comes to Mediations, Dressler arrives fully prepared and was informed on every little detail regarding the case. He is firm and aggressive when it comes to opposing counsel and demanded nothing less than respect and what was fair regarding settlement agreements. By far, Brett Dressler is an amazing lawyer like none other. Professional, personal, respectful and caring of me and my outcome during the entire lawsuit are just few words to describe this man. He works as hard as possible for you even if it means sacrificing himself personally. I would hire him again in a moments notice should I need to in future. It is of the HIGHEST recommendation that you do as well.

"I must say that Brett and I work in the same firm. Nonetheless, if I were to leave this firm tomorrow I would still refer family and friends to him if they needed someone that can be an aggressive pit bull, but do it in a caring and personable manner. If I were in a fight - I would want Brett Dressler in the fight with me. Plain and simple."
