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.

Excellent and experienced attorney

I originally sought the legal counsel of Ms. Brehany after my separation by the recommendation of a friend who had recently gone through a divorce and had used Jane as her attorney. Although it began as an amicable divorce my situation eventually became very complicated and hostile after my ex-husban...d stopped paying child and spousal support and eventually sued me for custody of my sons. Jane always gave me honest and sound advice each step of the way. Once we eventually went to court Jane did an outstanding job representing me and was able to help me get a lump sum payment of child support owed to me and monthly payments after that. My case had a lot of moving pieces making it very sensitive and complex and Jane and her legal assistant Sandy were always there for me, both professionally and emotionally as their client. They both treated me with compassion and respect and I highly recommend Jane for anyone going through a difficult divorce or custody situation. Had Ms. Brehany not been as knowledgeable and fearless in the courtroom as she was I believe my situation would have turned out very differently. I will absolutely use Jane in the future if necessary and I trust her professional judgement implicitly.

Amazing service and representation

I sought out the services of Jane Brehany for my divorce and child custody case after a failed attempt to resolve with a previous attorney. She came into my case and immediately started to get things working and addressing my concerns with the case. The level of honesty and care that she and her para...legal provide are unmatched in our area. The end result for my case was positive for all parties involved and I owe a great deal of that success to Jane Brehany and Sandra Resmondo. I am sure there are good attorneys out there but this one is a sure thing. My child and I will be forever grateful to the service provided by this team.

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.
