I contacted Ms. Bremke on a weekend in a crisis and she immediately responded taking swift action on my case the next business day, filing motions. Through the legal process, Ms. Bremke communicated concise information insuring that I had clear understanding. She has handled my estate matters and criminal matters with passion, integrity and thoroughness. She is multifaceted and extremely knowledgeable. She is fierce yet kind. Thank you Ms. Bremke!

Superb servive
Best attorney I have ever used. Extremely thorough and timely. I have never felt as if I was just another client. Very personable and articulate when explaining matters. I have used Mrs. Bremke twice, and will undoubtedly use her again if needed.

Client totally happy
From the moment I spoke to Ms. Bremke I knew that she would handle my case to the fullest extent. Being that I am out of state I knew that I needed to hire an attorney that could handle my case by phone. Not only did Ms. Bremke do that, but she went above and beyond and won. She is easy to talk to and easy to understand. Legal terminology is explained to you so that you have a total comfort level of what is going on. There was no need to call into the office because I was kept updated on a regular basis. Her dedication to my case was superior. I highly recommend Giovanna Bremke, you will not find a more compassionate yet intelligent attorney - she was the best. it would be expensive to fly in for court and that all my correspondence would be by phone or email. I was concerned if that would be possible. Not only did Ms. Bremke make that possible

Divorce/custody
When I first contacted Attorney Bremke she knew I needed to move quickly and she was very direct and specific. She knew exactly what would be best for my case. She took time to talk all details out with me on the case’s issues and is really quick to respond to any question or concern I have. She really goes to bat for not only me but my child.
