Current client

Three years ago after a long unnecessary litigated biased divorce my children and I were thrown out into the street and given 7 days to move from our home without any monetary help. Long story short, I also lost my attorney. I went Pro SE. As the year passed and as hard as I tried I couldn't get ahe...ad legally. The realization of losing my son was to difficult to fathom. So through many phone calls to other attorneys who couldn't and wouldn't take my case (conflict of interest I was told), I found Mr. Brett Schultz. Actually, an important attorney in our community recommended "this newcomer" as he stated. From the onset he took the time to listen, and realized that my case was very complicated and political. He could have said no, yet he didn't. Nor was he intimidated by the Judges, as this was extremely important going forward. Brett, was my son's savior and our families. He guided and educated me on family law, even though at times I thought he was almost ready to quit due to my frustration with the political climate in family law in Broward County. Brett was always fair monetarily and understanding when times got lean and had to place my children's bills first. Brett has been trustworthy and loyal. He knows family law and is also a guardian ad lit em (GAL), in which his knowledge has become invaluable. He has always been honest with me and as a client now of three years I can't express how important this factor is. I found that when he did speak he was only trying to help me understand another point of view. Brett, has been able to slowly yet surely jump major hurdles through the family court. As life has taught me lessons, I understand the value of starting over and I appreciate that he doesn't have a large back office as many other attorney's do. The positive factor in this has been when emergencies have surfaced in the middle of the night he is one phone call away to protect my son. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so. I realize that his empathy toward family is deep rooted as he is now a father of 2. Brett, has been respectful , smart and a hard worker in my case. Even though it's been a tough journey for my little one, he is today a happy, confident young man. It's takes a village to raise a child , yet it took a confident young attorney to help pave the way to where we are today. Thank you Mr. Brett Schultz.

Oustanding

I retained Brett Schultz to handle a post judgement issue for me and i am so glad i did. First of all, he does not have an ego like many of these snobby boca lawyers have. He is a genuine guy...Always called back promptly and never rushed me off the phone. Extremely fair with his fee... His pe...rformance in the court room was excellent. He was well prepared and tough without being obnoxious. We went up against a big time law firm and wiped the floor with them. What makes it even more impressive that it was it was the first time Brett went in front of this judge while opposing counsel is infront of this judge regularly. I would 100% reccommend Brett Schultz

Great and fair

My divorce is becoming final in a few weeks,I was referred to Brett through a mutual friend. He was the 6th lawyer I met. Over a cup of coffee, I sensed his empathy and instantly knew this is who I wanted to represent me, I wish I had made this smart of choice when choosing a wife. I was informed an...d given options through the whole process. In the end, it felt like a real friend was helping me, not just an attorney. THANK YOU Brett, but I do hope I never need your services again... SH

Family Law Expert who is down to earth, real and a straight shooter!

Brett is an outstanding professional. He represented me throughout my divorce keeping my wishes to do things amicably but thorough. I feel Brett is very trustworthy and fair. I am satisfied beyond my expectations with how "painless" he made every step during this most difficult transition. On a finan...cial note, Brett's services are affordable and he always disclosed the cost associated with any given action. I am happy to endorse him and to continue to recommend him without reservation.

I hired Mr. Schultz for my divorce. It was the first time I ever had to hire an attorney. Mr. Schultz guided me troughout the process and kept me informed of every detail. At the end he was able to deliver more than i had expected.
