Best Lawyer

In August 2019 I was charged with my 3rd offense OWI. I was found sleeping in the car while it was running. I wasn't the driver of the vehicle but was the only person there when the police came and I was in the driver's seat. Everyone said it was an impossible case, but Brent took it confidently. Aft...er almost 2 yrs (due to covid) we had trial today and I was found not guilty. Brent is an amazing attorney and worth more than what he charges. He stayed in contact with me at every point and answered any questions I had, usually within an hour or less. We had a slight reasonable doubt case and he fought to make sure we won it. He is intelligent, thorough, and determined. If you want to win he's the best option!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have so many great things to say about Brent! He was efficient, friendly, attentive, and honest. I felt like my concerns were taken seriously and i was never “left in the dark”. Brent took the time to address each step of the way with me so that I understood what to expect next. My case was a messy... divorce/custody issue and Brent took my wishes seriously and helped me come up with a fair and safe agreement. I had a horrible experience with a different family court attorney and I cannot express enough how life changing it is to find a lawyer with the qualities that Brent has. If you’re in need of an attorney Brent is the best!

Outstanding Lawyer

Brent Olsen was absolutely amazing in handling my case. He was extremely professional and helpful. Brent was available as needed and very knowledgeable on laws. As someone who was going through a difficult situation he guided and reassured me he was always on my side, he was able to get my case close...d in a timely manner and went above and beyond to make sure I received what I was entitled to. If you need an attorney that is has experience, integrity and knowledge I recommend you contact Brent.

Great and Knowledgable Lawyer

Brent and Michelle were a great team to work with. I did a lot of communicating about the process of divirce prior to committing to them. They were very easy to work with and timely. I was able to discuss how I wanted this and my desires during this awful time in my life and children. He was able to ...explain things to me so I understood. He helped me come to an agreement with my ex so we did not have to go to court but also made sure I was not pushed around by my or his lawyer. I have already recommended Brent to others. I also like that it is a one time fee unless we were to go to court. And I appreciate Brent and Michelle dealing with my million and one emails.

Highly Recommended!!

Brent was fantastic! I had a messy divorce that he navigated with honesty and perseverance. Brent worked very hard to make sure I understood every step and why we were proceeding in the manner we were. He was sympathetic and very easy to trust. I appreciate everything he has done for my kids and ...I! Thank You!!
