Attorney

I have known Bret Smith both professionally and personally for many years and have used his services for business and personal legal requirements. Bret Smith is a man of high integrity and honestly. He is fair, firm, frank, friendly. He will tell you what you need to know up front, but will do so in ...a way that you will know that he cares. Bret is respected in the legal community because people know that he will always do the right thing.

Honest and great Lawyer

I had went threw the initial stages of a divorce with different representation that did not live up to my expectations and never really seemed to be there to help me. After meeting with Mr. Smith I immediately knew he was a man of good moral character and a genuine person. Over the last few years and... the many issues that have arisen with custody, Bret has always been there. Quick to respond. I always feel he is working on my behave. He will lay out my options, discuss them in detail, and help me make informed decisions. What I value most is his character, his candor, and his honesty. There have been issues where he could have allowed me to persue pathways that would have cost me money and been of no help. He has always guided me to what was best to me and my situation.....never to what would benefit him financially the most. Previous lawyer I can not say the same for. I only wish I would have started with Bret. I would not hesitate recommending him to anyone. My divorce was very stressful and draining on me. It meant a lot to me to get quick responses and attention from Bret when I needed it.

Superb Counsel!!

I'm going into business with a friend of mine and we hired Mr. Smith to help us draft an operating agreement to establish an equitable partnership. After an initial consultation, he quickly developed an agreement that captured both my partner's and my requirements for our company. He is a very prof...essional attorney and I definitely recommend him!
