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.

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.

None better in Pensacola

Jane made a difficult process much easier. Her attention to detail and her advice & expertise are greatly appreciated. She is easy to work with and has been retained as my attorney... TWICE (for the divorce, then for child support issues). Jane will fight for you and for what is fair.
