Elizabeth Jane Brehany

Ms. Brehany handled my divorce. She and her paralegal were excellent, knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Her billing was reasonable and comparable to the other attorney I consulted with before I hired her. Ms. Brehany was honest and forthcoming with information. She wor...ked hard for me and my kids even through some pretty tough circumstances. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. I highly recommend Ms. Brehany and her staff! They make a great team.

Jane Brehany was my legal counsel for a post-divorce case. My ex-spouse and I did not agree on an issue related to our child. Jane was able to file the paper work in a timely manner and resolve my case quickly. As a graduate of the University of Alabama I am proud to write this review regarding Ja...ne Brehany. Jane is a competent and thorough lawyer that does not mind standing up and fighting for her client. She does not go into court with the ideal of destroying the other spouse. She is fair, professional and will look after your rights under the law. Jane Brehany is well educated and experienced with family law. With her as your lawyer you can count on someone that is Reliable, Timely and Reasonable. You can count on the accuracy of her professional judgement with regards to your case.

I have used Jane Brehany for many years since my divorce in 2001. My ex-wife has been in contempt of court multiple times since the divorce. I hired Jane to defend my rights to visitation which were being denied by my former spouse. My ex-wife used multiple agencies to terminate my visitation with... my son. Jane was able to defend my rights and counsel me on how to handle DCF, DVI, loss of visitation and child abuse charges. Just as important is Sandy (Jane's paralegal). Sandy is the best thing since sliced bread. Sandy is Real-Terrific-Reasonable. Sandy was always able to separate the facts from the emotions and help me think through a given situation. My ex-wife would call the police on many occasions and Sandy was able to show me how to comply with a court order without going to jail. Having Jane and Sandy on my side was a blessing and that is why I now have a relationship with my son! I can only wonder what my life would be like now without the services and skills of Jane and Sandy. I could not have asked for a better team to defend my parental rights and hold my ex-wife responsible for being in contempt of court. Jane and Sandy, thank you very much for all you have done!!!

Jane Brehany has been my lawyer for over 10 years. She has an outstanding ability to present successful written and oral arguments within the courtroom during legal proceedings. I have recommended her to friends/family and will continue to do so. There have been numerous cases from my initial atte...mpt to modify the final order to changes in visitation and motions for contempt. Jane stood behind me and was always there for phone calls, court appearances to general questions! She is a Responsible/Tremendous/Reputable lawyer and human being. Jane has always fought for my rights as a parent and she has been worth every dollar that she has charged me for legal fees.

My first Appeal attorney told me if a business partner had done this to another partner, he would be put in jail, but in divorce law this is acceptable. Over 11 months, he requested three time extensions, and called me by phone the evening before the third time extension, and notified me he was rec...ommending dismissal of my case. My case was so egregious, I simply could not give up. He withdrew and requested a fourth emergency time extension ending December 23, 2015. The First District Court of Appeals approved the extension and by the Grace of God, gave me until January 8th to file a brief. I made payments for the first appeal year of $18,850, for legal, court mandated, and $30,000 alimony equaling $48,850. Since 39 years of working and saving had been used for court costs or ordered to a 6 year former wife, it was hard to justify another attorney. The weapon of choice for SOME attorney's is to load you up with expenses and obtain through distorted, twisted statements, judgments against you so grievous that you will acquiesce. I sought another appeal attorney, hoping for equity. My search went from Milton, Miami, Orlando and Tallahassee, Florida, but was unable to retain council. I ultimately put in my own request for a fifth time extension. I was led literally by the Grace of God to call Elizabeth Jane Brehany's office on Wednesday and room was made for me to have an appointment the next day, Thursday, January 14, 2016 at 4:00. That morning, opposing counsel responded and objected my request for extension of time. By 5:40, on Thursday evening, Jane filed Notice of Appearance, and Response to Objection. And, by Monday, 4:00 p.m., four days later, Jane had read 800 page transcript, identified five appealable items, written a 33 page brief and was in the process of filing when the Court sent an approval of my request for time extension. Elizabeth Jane's first draft brief was extremely thorough, and I could only say "Amazing". Her very capable Paralegal, found two issues outstanding in my original appeal attorney's process, "Designation to Reporter" and "Directions to Clerk". My first Attorney could not have filed a brief if he wanted to. After correcting this, the brief was filed on January 26th, 2016. We are awaiting opposing brief as of Tuesday, February 2, 2016. Elizabeth Jane read, was ready to file within four days on five issues with fourteen appeal cases across five district courts backing her arguments. I am extremely satisfied with her reading, comprehension, retention, understanding, experience and writing. The brief is incredible to read, easy to follow and tells a story like a novel. I have been told she has a photographic memory and has exceeding fast reading capabilities with 100% comprehension. Her recall and ability to argue exceeds most. My trial attorney missed very great premarital property issues that would have prevented any of this. Elizabeth Jane was able to weed through all of the opposing attorney's fluff and find the measures of truth that were available to help. I am eternally grateful to her for her endless tireless gift of life she dedicated to my help over a weekend when she could have been doing something for herself. I discovered after trial that it is common practice among SOME attorney's to advise your spouse against you and set your soul up for total destruction long before divorce is initiated. If you have discerned the "so called" trusted soul you married has conspired with another ("") for your destruction. Don't feel alone. For I too have found they are at ease, content, without repentance, consider it honorable, and enjoy their crafty and immoral use of the legal system to plunder the wealth of honest hard working people. For truth and justice, call Elizabeth Jane Brehany. And pray that the same Florida Registered Paralegal will be working with her as they are an excellent appeal team.
