Posted by Vanessa | May 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Overall excellent

My uncontested divorce process was made easy, fast, and painless. Ms. Brehany and her paralegal were wonderful and surpassed my expectations. I always felt very comfortable, they were prompt in responding to any questions I had and keeping me informed, and everything was done proficiently and quickly.... It was a pleasure to work with them and I highly recommend her.

Seamless separation

I was very pleased with the regional knowledge of her team. The process was very clear and handled promptly. There really wasn't much more I could have expected from her firm. The entire divorce was completed quickly and correctly. Very pleased.

Ms. Brehany represented me in a custody case and I was extremely pleased with her work. She was an optimal balance of professionalism, skills, ethics and compassion. She provided information based on her current experience and knowledge while keeping focus on my best interest. I also respected her ...ethical and effective approach of remaining true to the objective rather than feeding into any emotional drama. Her calm demeanor, attentiveness, confidence, and accessibility made her an excellent attorney. I would highly recommend her.

Military/PCS friendly! Divorce handled well

Ms. Brehany did a fantastic job in representing me when I chose to divorce my civilian husband while pregnant with our first child. Although I PCSed to NC during the process and was unable to be physically present for the majority of the case, Ms. Brehany and Sandy both kept me abreast of the progr...ess. Whenever I had questions/thoughts, I would usually put all of it together in one email in order to a) not annoy them with countless emails and b) keep my costs down. They would usually respond within a couple of days since I indicated that my issues were not pressing. If I needed to call, Sandy always answered. We did mediation over the phone due to the geographical constraints, and despite my husband flying back down to FL (in an attempt to perhaps 'win over' the mediator?), she represented my interests well. I filed for divorce in August and it finalized this month! Not too bad considering that I gave birth, so we needed a parenting plan, and we also had to address my husband's desire for money in our settlement. I would highly recommend Ms. Brehany to anyone who is in need of a solid, professional attorney in the panhandle region. She has helped me to rebuild my life and move forward with my child, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

Best in the Gulf Coast!!!

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.
