Brett & Amanda- genuine, aggressive, full of integrity, delivers results

We cannot say enough good things about our attorney. He was truly a God-send during one of the most difficult seasons of our lives. From the very beginning, his top priority was the safety and well-being of our children, and he worked diligently and proactively to ensure that we received a fair and j...ust outcome. What sets him apart is his integrity. He is an honest, ethical counselor who genuinely believes in doing what is right—no matter the pressure or potential blowback that can come from standing up for truth and justice. That kind of character is rare and invaluable. He was consistently responsive, incredibly patient, and always willing to explain things clearly when emotions were high. His negotiation skills are exceptional, and he has a calm, steady presence that helped settle even the most intense moments. When the storm felt overwhelming, he brought clarity, confidence, and peace. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also principled, compassionate, and truly invested in his clients, we wholeheartedly recommend him.

Amazing!

Brett is amazing! It has been a few years since we used him for legal services, but anytime we have any questions or problems he is still great to return calls and help with whatever is going on. Always in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him!

He’s a great listener, very helpful, and nice but aggressive when necessary.

INCREDIBLE

I don’t even know where to begin… Brett and Jaci are truly heaven sent! From day one, Brett LISTENED, truly listened to me and when things got ugly with my ex, he fought for me without hesitation. His guidance and understanding throughout my entire case was more than I could have ever imagined or ask...ed for. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for Brett! Now that my case is over, I can honestly say I have a sense of peace that I haven’t had in years and it’s because of Brett!!

Protector

I so appreciated Brett’s just-in-time help and casual, respectful demeanor. His compassion and sense of humor helped me keep perspective through ridiculous circumstances, yet I have no doubt he’d be a bulldog in court. This guy is a lawyer because he wants to protect people, not boost his ego, over-c...harge or pad the bill to fund an extravagant lifestyle. We need more of these good men. Blessings to you Brett!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
