Got it done!

I contacted Brett while my family was beginning an establishing custody battle. We had a tough situation because there wasn’t really a bad side and a good side. Both parties had wanted similar things and it was a process that we needed so that we could move forward with our lives and could not just m...ake the decisions personally and needed a court involvement. Brett was so professional and detailed. He took a lot of time to listen to my needs and wants and executed beyond professionally. We ended up in a trial and I was so impressed with the way Brett carried himself and the way that Brett pleaded my case to the judge. He is very intelligent, articulate and all of his hard work for my family ended up in a victory (for lack of better words, we got what we wanted!). I am thankful for his hard work and would recommend him to any one in search of legal help! Thank you Brett!

Divorce/Family Law attorney

Brett represented me in my divorce. I had certain incorrect assumptions about what would happen during the divorce process. Brett set me straight and was honest with me and it made the process much easier to deal with. He also fought for my best interests and was prepared in doing so. I recommend ...Brett highly.

Indiana Lien

Our company hired Brett Schlender to perform a Construction Lien in Indiana. His extensive knowledge in construction litigation was noticed. Brett Schlender's practice helped us through the complications and complexity of the mechanics lien law. We would highly recommend Schlender Law PLC.

Reassurance!

My first meeting with Brett was a consultation in regards to my divorce. I wasn't even sure where to start but I know I had to start somewhere. Brett was extremely helpful in guiding me on what was going to happen, made suggestions, and reassured me he would be there. Most of all, he listened to w...hat I specifically wanted (even though he didn't necessarily agree). He listened and respected my wants/needs. He had my best interest at heart. It was such a relief to have a Lawyer I could trust and count on. His confidence, wisdom, and mild manner was/is reassuring. He is what I like to refer to as the "Velvet Hammer". I definitely would highly recommend Brett!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
