Posted by Jennifer | March 07, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

One of the Best Criminal Attorneys in Brevard County

Simply put - Brian Onek is one of the best criminal attorneys there is in Brevard County. I made a lot of mistakes trying to find an attorney that would listen and fight for me. I hired two attorneys before Brian that either made my case worse, or literally took my money and then handed me over to ...the state on a silver platter. As a result I went to Brian wiped out and beaten down, not just by the legal system, but in trying to find someone/anyone who would listen enough to fight for me. At that point, I hired Brian. He was awesome in keeping me informed, extremely easy to contact, very strategic in his approach, and willing to hear out my ideas and thoughts on the case. He never made me feel rushed, explained his perspective and approach, and prepared me for what to expect. In court, Brian was professional and extremely well prepared with case law to back him up. If you want someone who will fight for you until the end - Brian Onek is the one you should hire. If I had gone to him first, I believe my case would have been resolved before it even started!

"I've known Brian since he began pracitcing law in the public defender's office while I was a prosecutor, and later when he went private. Also, I served on the local Bar Association Board of Directors with him for a few years, and know him to be highly competent, ethical, effective and, when appropriate, very funny. Also, he's a really nice person and always willing to pitch in and help others."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
