Excellent

We researched and had consultations with several other attorneys before selecting Brent. After our initial consultation we knew immediately that this guy was the real deal. Honest, fair, knowledgeable, compassionate and a great attorney to work with. Our grandparent visitation case was completed in a... timely manner with a very favorable outcome. Best attorney we ever worked with and would hire him again without a second thought.

Divorce made easy

I was extremely pleased with the flat fee charged for my divorce. I knew ahead of time exactly what it would cost. He was very responsive and I got better results than anticipated. I would highly recommend him.

Attentive, hard working, he cares.

Mr. Olson truly is the only public defender I would feel blessed to have working on my side. Not only does he listen to cares and concerns of the defendent and their loved ones, he thoroughly follows up with them after working hard their case and makes sure you are confidently knowledgeable before m...aking any decisions.
