Brett is The Best

When I met with Brett, it was two days before my court date. I had an attorney but was due to 'renew'. I decided not to move forward with my previous attorney because I did not get the communication and thoroughness I needed for my case. Because of this experience, I researched, called and spoke to e...very attorney that I could find in the area, even looked up to see if they had any issues with the state. I visited with and spoke to over 10 different attorneys. Luckily, through a referral I was introduced to Brett two days before my court date. Because of the timing I needed to make a decision fast, Brett went out of his way to meet me on his day off on a Sunday. (Literally, what attorney does that?) Looking back, I knew the other attorneys lacked the vigor and passion I was looking for and that’s why I waited. Brett has the vigor and passion for his work. I asked him if he could handle my case if it went to trial, the thrill in his voice and eyes almost scared me LOL (He is definitely born for this job.) Thankfully, my case never went that far but most of the time, the average person is under this assumption that most attorneys are smart and can do the job. WRONG! I had seemingly smart, polite and well-spoken attorneys tell me that I had to settle for an agreement that was unfavorable in many ways. They wanted the easy way out in my opinion. I knew that was not the right answer for me. Brett has the courage to fight for what is right, which many attorneys lack courage. He also has the wisdom and strategic approach to get the best results. Additionally, he is extremely sharp, smart, witty, matter of fact, tactful, responsive, strong work ethic, has integrity, a winning mentality, well respected and has great relationships. I would recommend him 1 million percent. Hands down, the best attorney in his area of expertise in Alabama. You also need to do your part in providing him the information he needs to be successful in your case. Do your part so he can do his! Also, follow the rules, keep him updated and give him the information he needs in a precise manner so he has the information do what he needs to. His staff is also super responsive and so easy to work with. My case didn’t move at all, then when it got to Brett, it started moving quickly. This is where many attorneys or their staff can screw it up by missing paperwork etc, thank goodness Brett and his staff are on top of things. He literally changed my life. Brett is not the cheapest attorney you will find at all but he is the BEST attorney! If you want the best, call Brett. He is truly a gift from God!
