Excellent Job!

I hired Bret from out of State because I do not live in Texas. I was extremely nervous because I had already hired two other attorneys for the same case and they both failed to get the job done. However, Bret put 100% into my case from the very beginning. He not only got done what the other two lawye...rs failed to do but he got an even better result for me in the end. I don't anticipate I will have anymore legal trouble in Texas but I definitely recommend Bret for anyone who does. He was absolutely a pleasure to work with and never let me down. He was always prompt about returning my calls and made sure he always kept me informed about the case. Brenda was also very pleasant to speak to on the phone and always made sure she answered any questions she could. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND BRET FOR ANY CIVIL OR CRIMINAL CASE. HE WON'T LET YOU DOWN.

You gave my son a second chance!!!!!!

When my son got himself in a legal issue, AGAIN, and based on what they charged him with, I was almost sure that he will spend a few years in prison if not more. Based on my experience with other attorneys , I was not too optimistic to say the least, that any lawyer could do so much other than be at... the mercy of the prosecutor's offer or go to trial. Scared and desperate I started looking for an attorney and praying that I would find one who would fight for my son and get him the best possible outcome. Looking back, I must admit, my prayer was answered when I started searching for criminal defense attorneys and reading their reviews and finally decided to give Mr. Bret Schmidt a call. When I met him at his office for the first time, after reading my son's charges, he took the time and explained to me what he well do and and the possible outcome he will fight for. He made me comfortable to call him anytime if I have any questions. He gave me not only his office number but also his two cell phone numbers to call him if I needed get hold of him right away. How many attorneys do that? The best part of it, he picks up the call most of the time if not will return my calls the same day. If and when he needed to call me to update me the case, he even calls me outside business hours at times on week ends. I normally do not write reviews except for complaining on products of services that that did not meet my expectations. But in this case I must share my great experience with Mr. Schmidt to help others seeking legal representation in the hope to help them get the right attoreny as I did. I don't have enough words to describe how great my experience with Mr Schmidt was. He worked very hard to make sure my son's case gets a winning results. I could not have asked for better services. From the moment I first called him until the case was over. What I thought would end up with 4 to 5 years in prison at best or even worst ended up to a 6 month drug rehab program giving my son a second chance in life. Thank you Mr. Schmidt!!!!!

Sound Legal Advice

I approached Mr. Schmidt for legal advice regarding a personal legal matter. Mr. Schmidt, due to his experience. was familiar with my issue and was able to provide me with the legal guidance needed in order to completely resolve the matter in a timely manner. I found Mr. Schmidt to be straightforwa...rd, professional, and confidential and I appreciate his assistance.

The best lawyer in Texas

I was out on 2 bonds and I felt like every case I had made me sick to my stomach but with me hiring Bret Schmidt made everything so much better because I was thinking the worst when he did everything and his power to make my life so much better and I would always put my life in his hands. I would alw...ays go to him for any legal matter!!

When a quality and caring attorney is what you need.

Bret is by far the most professional and caring attorney I've ever met. From the time we stepped foot in his office there was nothing but good vibes and he lived up to everything that he said and promised and more. The bottom line is that I've met a lot of attorneys who could care less rather you wo...n a case or not or that the right thing is actually done in the judicial system. With that being said I would never give a review for anyone like this if they did not deserve it and trust me Brett Smith absolutely deserving of this review. I pray that I never do but If I needed an attorney Bret Schmidt would definitely be the first attorney that I would call.
