We have retained Bret Schmidt on 4 different occasions over the last 8 years... Sad, but true! He is extremely knowledgable and realistic, knows the system like the back of his hand, and is very up front as far as what you may expect the outcome to be. We love him and would always refer anyone with... any type of legal/criminal issue to him. If your freedom is on the line, please don't waste your hard earned money anywhere, hire Bret! He has pretty much become family and I will always be thankful for what he's done for my family!

Working with an attorney is always scary because your future is based on their success. There is no attorney I would want by my side other than Bret Schmidt. He's professional, he's kind, and he's extremely loyal (sometimes to a fault). My case with pretty cut and dry (or so the prosecution though...t) until I hired Bret who ultimately got my case no billed. I can honestly say that had I not hired Bret I would probably be in prison right now. If you are looking for someone that's going to fight for you and go that extra mile then Bret is the man for the job. Just meet with him, explain what's going on, and be honest and I can almost guarantee you will be happy with what he can do for you. Call him....you will be glad you did.

If there were such thing as a "Quack" in the legal profession as there is in the medical field, Bret Schmidt would personify it. After placing a $2500 retainer fee, the service went south from there. Horrible legal advice, showed up LATE to my court date twice (to where the judge had me step out of... the court room more than once to call him to check his ETA), didn't make even a half hearted effort to try my case, instead took the easy route in having me please guilty.. to add insult, the several times I'd go to his office to seek advice.. had the audacity to discuss my case in his lobby rather than pulling me into his office. Finally, my fiance calls to ask questions about my case.. and he gives her every bit of information concerning it. Do yourself a favor, seek help elsewhere. Absolute worse "professional" experience ever.. That cost me way more than just the $2500!

Bret has been my attorney for over 12 years. This guy knows the law. He knows how to work the system. When I caught my first case every other lawyer wanted me to take probation not deferred but regular probation. Brett got me probation but it's not on my record I can carry a firearm I can still vote.... It's like it never happened. He always called me back on time and was present in court before I was. Through the years I've had to use Bret a few more times and his services were always above par. I would def recommend this guy over ANY of the crooks I mean lawyers in Dallas. Bret knows his stuff you can bet on that.
