Consummate Professional, personal, honest

Jane and I have been working together on a very difficult divorce case with a lot of factors that made the case complicated. After thorough and honest review we had a custody hearing that went well because of her innate professionalism and experience in the field of family law. I am pleased with the ...results and am confident in her future ability to represent me in final legal proceedings. Absolutely retain her, she is a wonderful person with an honest, genuine character that allows for a great working environment during emotional crises.

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.

Reliable and Gets wanted results.

Have had Mrs. Brehany as my counsel for going on 6 years. She has provided myself with great legal advice, dealing with my ongoing case. She has got me everything that I've requested, going into my case. I would not have my loving son, in my custody on a normal bases, if not for her. I would recommen...d her as counsel to anyone, that requires legal advice, or as a representive.

Reliable Terrific Resolute

The words used in my title are the best available to describe Jane Brehany. I have retained Jane Brehany multiple times since 2005. I began my fight to have a relationship with my son in 2005 and still had to contact Jane because of the last “incident” that occurred December, 2015 regarding back su...rgery and an attempt to Baker Act my son. My case involved an ex-wife that had mental issues and was a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. Jane's skill as an attorney was demonstrated when she was able to keep my case relevant to Family Law issues and not the endless number of bogus mental health claims fabricated by my former spouse. Jane was interested in the truth and what was really going on in my case. Jane was able to see through all the legal/mental health maneuvers of my former spouse and take a legitimate, honest and fair view of the complete case including the present and the past! Furthermore, Jane has a paralegal named Sandy who is worth her weight in gold. Sandy was able to teach me how to handle the multiple "crises" and "drama" that would arise with my former spouse. I was truly blessed because I could call Jane or Sandy anytime my former spouse would "pull a rabbit out of the hat". I was truly blessed to have Jane and Sandy take on my case and fight for my right to have a relationship with my son. Today I have a relationship with my son whom I love very much. I have learned not to take anything for granted especially a good lawyer or a relationship with my son. Jane and Sandy you are the greatest and I will never be able to communicate how much I appreciate you taking my case “to heart”. God Bless both of you and keep up the good work!

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!!!
