Quick Response, Very Honest & Real

I contacted Brett for a consultation and he responded in less than 1 hour. After explaining the case, he was straightforward and detailed on his explanation and we both determined that until I was charged with the crime, that I did not need to worry. While things are not 100% resolved, Brett is who... I would hire if I needed someone to represent me. Thank You

Great lawyer, highly recommended!

Mr. Anderson was my lawyer in a criminal defense case. I would personally like to thank Brett Anderson for everything he did for my case and making a terrible situation into the best outcome possible. He was very personable, was always in contact, made it easy to contact him, always kept me informed,... answered my 100 different questions, never gave me false hope, and most importantly treated me with the upmost respect and not as a "criminal". I honestly could not of asked for a better lawyer to represent me in this matter. Highly recommend if your looking for a criminal defense lawyer! Thank you again Mr. Anderson!!

From consultation to expungement

When I came to Brett for the purpose of retaining an attorney for my case, it obviously was not a happy affair. However, throughout the entire process, Brett made my experience substantially manageable. When I did not feel very hopeful for a chance that my case would go smoothly and in my favor, Bret...t knew exactly what to do with his developed knowledge of the law and extensive experience in court. Initially, Brett told me all of the viable options he felt possible and gave me the option to choose what I wanted to proceed with, keeping in mind the potential consequences and how likely he felt things to play out the way we intended and wanted. He was always very upfront, concise, and easy to understand. Brett was always empathetic with how I felt and how different outcomes might affect my personal life and education/career options. Keeping my interests in mind, Brett managed to return the best possible outcome for me while minimally invading on my personal commitments. While it was difficult to appear in court because I live in New York City, Brett kept things simple and never made me appear personally for his own ease. He was easy to contact because I had two emails and his cell phone number. Additionally, he was always quick to reply to my concerns and questions, even after office hours or on weekends. I NEVER felt as though Brett had exclusive control and management of my options because he informed me at every update he received and really leveled with me as an individual to come up with and decide on challenges together. Because Brett formally worked "on the other side of things" in the courtroom, he knew the ins and outs of what was to be expected from the district attorneys or judges. He knew people personally and they also seemed to think highly of him because they were always friendly in response. This experience was crucial to my case and changed the entire outcome of what I initially thought possible. By working with me instead of "for" me, Brett took my interests and concerns to heart - he recognized how these sorts of situations are detrimental in many ways and it was obvious he cared about me succeeding in life long after my file was finalized. If I were local to the area at all, Brett would definitely be the attorney I retained consistently for any of my criminal law needs. Also, compared to other attorneys offering me "worse" potential outcomes, Brett was super affordable. He made payment quick and easy and was willing to help through consultation and the like before I had submitted payment. Although I paid all at once by credit card, he also offered payment options. If you are in the area and need genuine help concerning a criminal record/issue, Brett is the man to talk to! He will put your mind at ease and take care of everything while leaving you in control of your own file and life.

Jeff, Kathy, and Blake review of Brett Anderson

Brett Anderson talked to us over the telephone for several hours throughout our son's charges. He met with us in his office as well. Brett was always very professional and discussed things, in detail, with us so that we knew what was going on. He also advised us with many options of how to handle our... son's case. We liked the fact that Brett was very straight-forward with us and gave us options. He really "went to bat" for us and was a great liaison for us with the DA, judge, and other court employees.
