He's a Beast!

I could LITERALLY spend an entire day writing about this man and all of the good he does to help people. Brian isn't just any old lawyer, this guy is a BEAST!!! in the courtroom. Those crazy good attorneys you see on TV yelling their points making compelling stories with such ease and finesse....ye...a...that's Brian Packett for sure! After wasting 15 grand on this horrible attorney Brett Rogers who had quite a stellar record mind you, but really just wasn't getting the job done for me, so I finally reached out to my old buddy Matt Schwenke who does civil law whos actually in the top 40 civil trial lawyers in the NATION, I said Matt I need a good criminal attorney to help me expose this evil organization that was not only effectively trying to remove my child from my custody by filing bogus reports to DCF but then threatening my and my daughters life with her pictures and threats by emails, really sick stuff.... Matt said I got just the guy! He recommended Brian T Packett,..... and I promise you... I will forever be grateful as he has not only saved me and kept me out of trouble more times than i can count, this guy Id be proud to call a friend. He is there without a doubt any time ive ever needed him and he cost like a 1/3 of the price of my old scumbag attorney. Now I love learning all about the law, and Brians always there for me. Its also totally turned me on to filing these whistleblower complaints against all these corrupt and evil establishments; and the government will pay you too! Its awesome. Seriously I would not have my beautiful 4 year old child right now if it weren't for Brian T Packett. There has not been one instance i can possibly think of yet that Brian has not been either able to guide me on or flat out correct. He knows EXACTLY what hes doing, I promise you will not be disappointed.... He is that good....Just the other week i was so worried i couldnt even think about sleeping so i was grateful even in the late hours he made himself available to me, it was actually better than taking ambien, I went right to sleep after. Thanks Brian for all you do...... I am grateful....

Big Time Player

Mr. Pakett was as modest as one can be about the "realities to my case." Always keeping me in the loop as to any current developments. Very knowledgeable when it came to explaining what different avenues I could take. He mediated a situation for me in which both parties came to agreement and saved ...me thousands of dollars in the process. Although we were not able to bring the charge down to a violation, I truly believe that Mr. Pakett did every thing within his power to convince the ADA otherwise. His smart, direct and to the point, but he isn't cheap! Still I recommend him wholeheartedly.
