He gave me my daughter

Brett, heard us out. He gave told us the good, the bad, and the ugly. He consulted with us before every decision. gave us many great advice. He is the type of lawyer that cares about justice. He told us best, scenario, most realistic scenario, and worst case scenario. He was always in our side and al...ways stayed in touch with us through phone or in person meetings. He goes above and beyond to gather all information needed for cases, he is very professional and extremely organized. with his clients he is always professional and in court he is a wolf. I am extremely happy he is on my team. Yessica & David

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.

Honest and very professional

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.
