Brett R. Schlender

Brett was referred to me through a friend of a friend almost exactly a year ago when I had finally made the decision to file for a divorce. He was among a handful of family/divorce attorneys I had called, and he most definitely stood out. Over the course of my grueling divorce this past year, he was ...CONSISTENTLY available, pleasant, respectful (even when I was less than pleasant with the stress of it all...), and, not only extremely knowledgeable in the law, but always willing to explain the aspects of the law and its nuances to me in ways I could clearly understand. I don't recommend your attorney being your part-time therapist, but when you want to give up, he truly is the best balance of listening, understanding and caring, yet keeping you focused, on track, and solution-based. Even the judge assigned to our case demonstrated his respect for Brett in the way he always relied on him to summarize the hearings, provide the drafts following, etc. as there was no doubt that he was well-prepared and organized for each and every court appearance. It is most certainly worth mentioning his exceptional paralegal, who completes the perfect dynamic duo. I highly recommend!

I hired Brett to help me with my son. It was about a district change for his schooling. He did go above and beyond what I ever expected of a lawyer! The work he put in was so extensive. I am a very emotional person so when I would cry about my situation he was always so understanding! I would definit...ely recommend him to anyone needing legal help especially in family cases like my own. He was really so thorough and made my case seem like his only one although I know for a fact it wasn’t!

I have worked with Brett as my attorney twice now in the past year and a half. For my Divorce and my Will. I found him to be reliable, responsive, easy to talk to, and a good listener. And he always took the time to listen to my cares and concerns and answer my million questions. I never felt he was ...impatient with me which was important as I navigated through the divorce and will process. I will definitely use Brett in the future if any legal issues come up for me.

If you are looking for an attorney for a custody/divorce I would highly recommend Brett. He put my best interest first and fought for me. He went above and beyond what I could have ever expected. These situations are never easy and have a lot of emotions involved and Brett was there to help guide ...me through the process and help calm me down when needed. The attention to he gave me was beyond expectations. He helped put me at ease and gave me a lot of advice that helped me through a very emotionally draining, tense situation. He relentlessly fought for my rights ever second of my divorce. I don’t believe I could have made a better choice when selecting an attorney. Im confident that anyone that chooses Brett to represent them will not be disappointed with the work, effort and attention to detail he will give them. I truly could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me during this very difficult matter.

I hired Brett twice to represent me in challenging cases. Brett and his team were responsive, available, thorough, had a very high attention to detail, and they kept me informed throughout the processes. In both cases the issues were presented to the judge in formal hearings, and Brett was well pre...pared and professional in his presentation and discussions. I felt I had a knowledgeable and fair counsel, and I was pleased with the outcomes. I highly recommend Brett!
