Brett R. Schlender

Brett came into my life at the worst possible time, and I couldn’t have been more fortunate. He proved himself to be not only an expert in the law, but a genuinely good human being. I’m deeply grateful for his wise counsel, steady presence, and occasional comedic relief during an incredibly difficult... chapter. He was my lawyer, but he became a trusted friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Brett to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate attorney.

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!
