Brent Ivy

I have used quite a few attorneys in the past few years. I can honestly say the biggest difference between Brent and lawyers of the past is Brent actually cares about his clients. This is a breath of fresh air compared to most attorneys I have used who I feel like are just going through the motions. ... Brent even on small matters I have hired him on such as a Land Lord/Tenant evection case has gone the extra mile to make sure every detail is perfect. I could go on all day and tell you how he's helped me with contracts, civil lawsuits, evections, settlements and other matters. The bottom line is the proof is in the pudding and Brent's proffesianlism, understanding of the law, dedication, work ethics, and abilty to care for his clients is a rarity these days. I can sleep soundly knowing I have Brent in my corner and feel more than confodent to recomend Brent for any legal matter you might occur.

Excellent Lawyer / Trial Experience

Brent was very knowledable and professional. He spent a large amount of time each night after trail to conduct prep with us for the next day. He works very hard for his clients and I felt our needs were being met at all times.

Comments on Mr. Brent Ivy

Mr. Ivy very promptly offered me very specific and detailed but preliminary advice on my situation, grasping immediately the circumstances. Beyond the legalities, Mr. Ivy offered more global and wise comments on relationships and costs and other considerations. If I proceed further, I hope that I can... prevail on Mr. Ivy to represent me or to recommend someone who can.
