best choice I made

In the middle of a very ugly divorce in which I began to lose faith I found Ms Brehany. I hired her on the spot and never looked back. Ms Brehany not only caught up with ongoing litigation but walked into court a few days after hiring her and brought all hope back into my life and my three childrens'... lives. I hired Ms Brehany in 2006 to handle my divorce and custody situation which we won, and she is still my attorney of record dealing with my ex when need be. She understands the needs of her clients, works with them on every avenue from making payments, to lending a shoulder to cry on. She is very professional and caring. She listens to the needs of clients and has always been on top of things. I have every confidence in her abilities in all aspects from filing needed papers to mediation to courtroom situations.

Factual and thorough

I have been divorced since 2009 and have been to hell and back with my ex-husband ever since. My divorce attorney referred me to Ms. Brehany and I retained her as an appellate attorney. She reviewed 100's of pages of court reporting documents which were given to her from my divorce attorney and cre...ated an outstanding appellate package. My case is currently pending in Tallahassee but I wholeheartedly trust and have confidence in her that justice will prevail. I sincerely feel that she knows Florida law and she gave me her best. You can't find anyone that will work harder for you!!!

Best appeals attorney in town !

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.

Excellent Representation

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.

None better in Pensacola

Jane made a difficult process much easier. Her attention to detail and her advice & expertise are greatly appreciated. She is easy to work with and has been retained as my attorney... TWICE (for the divorce, then for child support issues). Jane will fight for you and for what is fair.
