Honest, thorough and knowledgeable.

These are words that come to mind when describing Jane Brehany. I have retained Mrs. Brehany twice since 2007. Legal matters are never pleasant and having an attorney that you can trust is vital to the process. I know that I have the best representation possible and that Mrs. Brehany will do whatev...er it takes to obtain a fair and equitable result for me. She has always been so prepared for each deposition and trial and presents such a professional and calm manner that it helps keep me from falling apart! I wouldn't wish any type of legal battle on anyone but if you find yourself in that situation, I couldn't think of a better attorney to have on your side.

Content with my choice & would pick her again

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.

its been a very positive experience

Ms Brehany has represented me against the mother of my 19 year old triplets since they were four years old. There have been several cases from my initial attempt to modify the divorce agreement to my ex filing for additional support to my filing to reduce support as each child chose to come live with... me. Ms. Brehany's office was prepared and/or responded to orders in a very timely manner. She was at my side for every hearing I attended and it was never in doubt that she was my legal advocate. The total amount of money I have paid her over the last 15 years is less than $8,000 which I find to be reasonable. I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so.

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.
