Brett Donald McIntosh

I was arrested for a DUI and POSSESSION FIREARM CONVICTED FELON. Mr. Brett was smooth and excellent from beginning to finish. He was compassionate, calming, and confident when delivering defense strategy during my initial consultation. He provided me with case updates when needed, and more importantl...y, a sense of reassurance throughout the entire process. And in dramatic fashion, Brett got us the best possible plea offer to avoid prison, keep me working and home with my family. I am beyond satisfied with the results; I consider his fee as a life-saving investment. The courtroom personnel treat him with a certain level of respect, and you get the sense as a client that you have hired the best possible lawyer.

Bret worked very hard to get my dui offense reduced to a reckless driving offense making my terms of probation much simpler to complete! Bret Save me a lot of money, time and also the aggravation of losing my license for a year! Bret also made it so I could be off of probation as soon as I paid for... my court costs which could be as soon as 30 days! Bret and his staff were there the whole time keeping me informed of the my situation through the whole process and did a excellent job representing me!

I’m very disappointed with the quality of service, lack of results, and the lack of initiative to put together a case on my behalf. I payed 500 to file a motion to early terminate my probation and defense surrounding that which is high based on other offers i had priced out. I specificity picked this... law firm, because someone had recommended me to them and i was told they would be aggressive educated and build me a winning case. It took many months to even get a hearing i never saw or talked to the lawyer until the court hearing that was held via zoom. With zero one on one time to let him know why i should be able to be let off probation, and that i was trying to better myself to start a new career path. Only the spoke to the assistant, the defense was poor from the state based on hearsay with no factual evidence, or anything being a issue. Them just not wanting to early term even though i have met the legal conditions to FL, statue 948.04. Which i told the receptionist, about that statue to begin I had good reasoning but i didn’t have a voice, and thats why i payed for a lawyer. Had i of not spoken up and put in the work myself, i would of got no where. I had to speak, while the guy i payed for was more silent than a public defender, and i still didn’t get entirely off probation, just administrative. So now I cannot start my school, i can’t advance my career and move on in life. I called after and finally spoke to the lawyer directly, and said “for a small fee they could file another motion in two months to retry” but in two months i’m off probation. I will never ever recommend this law firm. I cannot believe my money was taken and the service received was less that then a public defender. It's a rip off, now i can not start school because of the way the program in the college works where you got to be linked up with a employer before entry, and they will not do it on administrative probation. So now my life and my career path is two months behind, because of Macintosh law’s passiveness to take any form of action or, initiative to even fight my case. They don’t deserve a 5 star review with 1 star service. Ive been treated better at a drive through!

This was the second time I have used Brett McIntosh. The first time 3 days after I hired him, he was able to have my charges completely dropped. This recent time I was pulled over and charged with DUI. After reviewing the case he filed a motion to suppress the stop, claiming the police officer had no... reason to pull me over. In court he was truly amazing. It was immediately obvious that he was in his element, and doing what he was born to do. The motion was won, the stop was thrown out. Once again I walk away with zero charges. In my opinion if you hire anyone but Brett McIntosh, you are throwing your money away.

Bret is the best attorney for criminal defense in manatee and sarasota counties. I was wrongfully accused and Bret took the challenge to go up against a police dept. Bret was more than fair when it came to price. Bret treated me like a friend, he took his time learning about the case from both side...s. He also seemed to enjoy going to trial and standing up for what was right and THAT is why he is the best. He's passionate about righting the wrong. Not matter how big or small your case is, Mr. Mcintosh will approched it with confidence and certain type of "swag" that everyone in the room respects.
