A Rare Example of Integrity, Compassion, and True Advocacy

Speaking with Brett Schultz was a genuinely grounding and affirming experience during one of the most difficult chapters of my life. From the moment we spoke, he was patient, kind, and deeply knowledgeable, but what stood out most was his humanity. He listened with care, understood the sensitivity of... my situation, and never once dismissed the urgency or emotional weight of a matter involving my child and their best interest. After spending thousands of dollars with other attorneys, I often felt unseen, like my case was just another file, and worse, like the truth and seriousness of what my child was facing wasn’t fully believed or fought for. That sense of disillusionment with the legal system is hard to put into words. Brett was different. He spoke with integrity, clarity, and a genuine belief in the importance of justice, not just as a concept, but as a responsibility. In a profession where it can be painfully difficult to find someone you trust, someone who isn’t simply motivated by money, Brett reminded me why the law exists in the first place: to protect, to advocate, and to fight for what is right, especially when the stakes are high and a child’s wellbeing is involved. I am deeply grateful for his time, his insight, and his compassion. Conversations like this restore faith, not only in legal advocacy, but in the possibility of justice itself.

Compassionate, Detail Oriented, Available, Ethical

After interviewing several Attorneys I had the good fortune of meeting Mr. Schulz via a recommendation from a friend. I immediately realized based on the initial conversation that I would retain Mr. Schulz. He listened without interrupting, he explained the positives and negatives relative to my case... and began the process of developing a strategy for my divorce. The opposing Attorney had excellent credentials from reading her bio, however, this did not deter Brett or cause me any concern. Brett was always available, gave reasonable advice and was very conservative in our response to opposing Council. Because of Brett's advice I was able to settle the matter in mediation rather than having to go through what would have been a costly and emotional Trial. In the legal world time is money, I was very pleased with how fair Brett was with billing. Bottom line he did not nickel and dime me, I felt I was treated fairly when it came to the ultimate outcome of the cost of my divorce. I highly recommend Brett for either a simple or complicated divorce based on his availability, billing and most importantly his ethics. Miami is a tough place to find all three of these very important attributes in an Attorney. If you choose Brett you will be in good hands and your stress level will go down exponentially.

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.

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.
