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....

The best decision you could make in a tough situation

The best decision I made in my legal battle was choosing Brian as my lawyer, he was kind, he was patient, he didn’t just take a case, he learned who I was, he worked his best to find the lies and corruption of the state, he spent many hours working on my case, all while taking care of his pregnant wi...fe, which can be tough, but his hardworking and passionate attitude handled all of this with grace and ferocity all at the same time. When it came to trial he put his blood sweat and tears into making sure I was well and all he did was tell me to tell the truth and he showed the lies and corruption that the state try to claim against me, he was able to show the jury the truth, with his passionate and knowledge the jury took no time at all to have a verdict from the jury if Not guilty. He never stopped fighting or showing his spirit to best help me, he is not just a lawyer he becomes your friend, he doesn’t just care about his cases he cares about his clients, he does everything better than anyone else can, it is a tough place for anyone facing legal battles I know the feeling, but I am telling you the best decision you could ever make in your battle to success is to make him your lawyer, it will take all your worries and fears away because he will be there with you every step of the way until you reach success because if you work with him you will be successful, he is the best, Thank you Brian for everything, good luck to everyone and don’t worry when you pick him you will have a full army beside you, you will just feel sorry for anyone who goes against someone so prepared and passionate about all his cases that you see all who goes against you and him crumble in the courts.

I definitely recommend Brian as your lawyer

"Simply...THE BEST"!

Brian is "Class Act" Attorney and is a Gentleman of High Integrity. He truly, genuinely, cares about his clients and has a heart of being of service. He will give you his honest opinion and will help you to the best of his ability. I can not thank him enough and will forever be indebted to him for "h...aving my back", standing confidently by my side, and successfully achieving a positive outcome that I had envisioned! Thank you Brian for BE-ing...."Simply THE BEST!"

A scholar and a mensch

I was referred to Brian by a friend and Brian handled my friends altercation with the law in a fair, quick and fairly priced way. He did not suga coat or beat about the bush and always took the time to clearly explain all our options and advised us in a measured and practical way. Most importantly he... was always available and returned calls and emails in a timely fashion. I hope we never need him again but if the situation calls for it we would call him in a New York minute.
