Elizabeth Jane Brehany

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.

Jane Brehany has been my lawyer for over 10 years. She has an outstanding ability to present successful written and oral arguments within the courtroom during legal proceedings. I have recommended her to friends/family and will continue to do so. There have been numerous cases from my initial atte...mpt to modify the final order to changes in visitation and motions for contempt. Jane stood behind me and was always there for phone calls, court appearances to general questions! She is a Responsible/Tremendous/Reputable lawyer and human being. Jane has always fought for my rights as a parent and she has been worth every dollar that she has charged me for legal fees.

My first Appeal attorney told me if a business partner had done this to another partner, he would be put in jail, but in divorce law this is acceptable. Over 11 months, he requested three time extensions, and called me by phone the evening before the third time extension, and notified me he was rec...ommending dismissal of my case. My case was so egregious, I simply could not give up. He withdrew and requested a fourth emergency time extension ending December 23, 2015. The First District Court of Appeals approved the extension and by the Grace of God, gave me until January 8th to file a brief. I made payments for the first appeal year of $18,850, for legal, court mandated, and $30,000 alimony equaling $48,850. Since 39 years of working and saving had been used for court costs or ordered to a 6 year former wife, it was hard to justify another attorney. The weapon of choice for SOME attorney's is to load you up with expenses and obtain through distorted, twisted statements, judgments against you so grievous that you will acquiesce. I sought another appeal attorney, hoping for equity. My search went from Milton, Miami, Orlando and Tallahassee, Florida, but was unable to retain council. I ultimately put in my own request for a fifth time extension. I was led literally by the Grace of God to call Elizabeth Jane Brehany's office on Wednesday and room was made for me to have an appointment the next day, Thursday, January 14, 2016 at 4:00. That morning, opposing counsel responded and objected my request for extension of time. By 5:40, on Thursday evening, Jane filed Notice of Appearance, and Response to Objection. And, by Monday, 4:00 p.m., four days later, Jane had read 800 page transcript, identified five appealable items, written a 33 page brief and was in the process of filing when the Court sent an approval of my request for time extension. Elizabeth Jane's first draft brief was extremely thorough, and I could only say "Amazing". Her very capable Paralegal, found two issues outstanding in my original appeal attorney's process, "Designation to Reporter" and "Directions to Clerk". My first Attorney could not have filed a brief if he wanted to. After correcting this, the brief was filed on January 26th, 2016. We are awaiting opposing brief as of Tuesday, February 2, 2016. Elizabeth Jane read, was ready to file within four days on five issues with fourteen appeal cases across five district courts backing her arguments. I am extremely satisfied with her reading, comprehension, retention, understanding, experience and writing. The brief is incredible to read, easy to follow and tells a story like a novel. I have been told she has a photographic memory and has exceeding fast reading capabilities with 100% comprehension. Her recall and ability to argue exceeds most. My trial attorney missed very great premarital property issues that would have prevented any of this. Elizabeth Jane was able to weed through all of the opposing attorney's fluff and find the measures of truth that were available to help. I am eternally grateful to her for her endless tireless gift of life she dedicated to my help over a weekend when she could have been doing something for herself. I discovered after trial that it is common practice among SOME attorney's to advise your spouse against you and set your soul up for total destruction long before divorce is initiated. If you have discerned the "so called" trusted soul you married has conspired with another ("") for your destruction. Don't feel alone. For I too have found they are at ease, content, without repentance, consider it honorable, and enjoy their crafty and immoral use of the legal system to plunder the wealth of honest hard working people. For truth and justice, call Elizabeth Jane Brehany. And pray that the same Florida Registered Paralegal will be working with her as they are an excellent appeal team.

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.
