Elizabeth Jane Brehany

I hired Jane to represent me in my divorce and child support case. From our first meeting, I liked her attention to detail, thoroughness, and how kind she was. It was easy to relax even though I was in a very uncomfortable situation. I retained her after our meeting. There were several aspects I like...d about her: she was prompt in responding to my questions, understood I needed to get out of this marriage quickly despite the lack of my ex filing the proper documentation, and brought quick dissolution to my failed marriage. My petition & final hearing covered everything that I needed, which could very easily have not gone in my favor. I would and have recommended her to others.

Ms. Brehany did an incredibly comprehensive appeal for us that no one else wanted to touch. The transcripts were exhaustive but she managed to not only spend the time but the intention needed for our case. She was professional and straight forward but she also managed to show the compassion that is... typically lacking on the legal community. She was available for consult with our concerns and was particularly attentive wit encroaching deadlines. She was always open to our thoughts and opinions about ten argument despite their validity or efficacy. Given her level of empathy, I was not expecting such a power packed and substantially supported appeal. Ms. Brehany managed to sharpen a massive amount of information into a powerfully poignant argument. I would highly recommend her expertise for anyone who has been told their case is just to difficult, overwhelming or convoluted. She has a way of retaining every detail necessary while maintaining the bigger perspective so no question remains unanswered. When you need someone with a lot of horsepower behind their work ethic and competence, Jane Brehany is the attorney.

I hired Ms. Brehany to handle ongoing litigation with my ex-husband, including a modification of my previous settlement. I was nervous hiring a new attorney since my previous attorney had done a wonderful job for me, however Jane put me at ease with our first meeting. She was thorough when she e...xplained my options, and very attentive when listening to the complicated details of my situation. Jane was readily available when I needed to speak to her and she always left me feeling more confident and at ease after our meetings. Jane is a straight shooter and will not tell you what you want to hear just so she can continue to string you along and bill you more. I found her fees to be reasonable and competitive and her billing was fair. When it was time for my hearing, she was direct and thorough when questioning both myself and my ex-husband. Her knowledge of Florida law is impressive and she was able to secure what we asked for. Mine was not an easy case, and there was a lot at risk. Jane battled to the end for me and I feel like she earned every penny.

I recently retained Ms Brehany for the SECOND time and could not be more pleased with the results obtained. She is professional, compassionate and very up front with her fees. I have regretted a million times over not having her as my original attorney for my divorce nineteen years ago. She rev...iewed my case and discussed thoroughly with me what I could and could not expect. She is very detailed oriented and kept me informed every step of the way. I am very, very confident in her work and have always felt she has my best interest at heart. Should I need legal representation in the future, I would not hesitate to retain her services.

Ms Brehany handled my case as the appellee with Florida appellate court. I had done research and found she had experience with presenting written and oral arguments in the court with success for her clients. At our first meeting, she was cordial, professional and discussed her prior experience with c...ases similar to mine. She presented that a fixed retainer fee that would cover all costs unless oral argument was necessary. This was in contrast to the lawyers who charged me by hour for everything in the original case in the Escambia county district court. Her brief filed with the court was also sent to me for review, prior to filing with the appellate court. It was excellent and I was optimistic the outcome would be favorable. During the process of the appellate courts decisions, she and the office staff were prompt with responding to court actions and to my questions in emails or on the phone. I had the feeling she would stand behind me and understood my concerns and I felt safe as a woman. As an appellate court lawyer she is superb!
