Excellence, Honarable and Integrity

Attorney Brett Pritchard is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure to have known and and/or hired. I have been a paralegal for many years, worked with dozens of attorneys and have hired many over the years. I have never been more impressed with someone's work. Brett honestly cares abou...t people, his clients and doing the right thing. He stands up for the little guy being mistreated and the people of this county like no other ever has. Brett is very responsive and communicates information quickly. He was on top of my case and handled it more professionally, ethically and honestly than anyone else ever could have. I had gone through three other attorneys in the area and were disgusted at their work ethic. There is no other attorney I will ever hire now. No one can walk into battle for you, fight for you and win like Brett and he will do it withholding the highest standard of the law. Thank you Brett Pritchard. My son and I couldn't have gone through our battle without you in our corner.

Staunch, steadfast, passionate, smart, knowledgeable, dependable, practical, effective...HIRE HIM!!

My review is long but, it is real and earnest. Brett has been my attorney for 15+ years and has never let me down. He first represented me in a warranty case against Peterbilt. Initially I was concerned Brett was not on top of the case as he was hard to reach prior to court but, in the court room ...he argued the case expediently and victoriously. I have learned great attorneys ARE difficult to reach. If they are doing their job, they are in court ALOT. I would not want an attorney in my corner that was always available; I would wonder why they were not working! Brett has represented my family on cases ranging from traffic violations to a child custody case (my son achieved sole custody of my grandson thanks to Brett). Brett is also a man of character. Two examples, demonstrating Brett's integrity follow: One of my sons had made unproductive life choices and found himself facing charges. As a repeat offender and an adult he could not afford an attorney so he was appointed one by the court. I was deeply concerned about the consequences my son was facing. Still, I was hesitant to continue enabling my son by hiring Brett to ensure a lighter sentence. Brett clarified the options first approaching the subject as an attorney explaining what kind of deal he could accomplish. Next, he tackled the subject as a parent, fully supportive of my desire to exercise tough love allowing my son to face his choices and effectively grow from them. We decided that my son would proceed with the court appointed attorney. On the day off court, I was surprised to see Brett walk in the door. He came over to me and explained what we should expect and what would be a fair sentence. Brett told me, before any offer was accepted I should allow him to review it to ensure it was fair. His service was offered without compensation out off his passion for justice and dedication to his clients. Though tough to swallow my son’s sentence was fair. Numerous times I consulted Brett while my son was incarcerated. Each time, he was compassionate but straightforward and always a valuable resource setting my thoughts straight. He suggested good reads to educate me, console me, and prepare me for my son's future. I am pleased to say that my son walks a new road in his life. He is a productive member of society earning an honest living and is building family of his own; I could not be more pleased and value Brett’s contribution. When I first shared the news about my son's transformation, Brett was on the list of people who received the update along with family. I was anxious to share with Brett because I know him to be a dedicated father and I knew he would genuinely share the excitement with me. He stated, “This is why I do what I do”. Alone, this should speak volumes about who Brett is. The second example of Brett’s character was one in which I was subpoenaed to appear in court as a witness. My stomach sank when I learned the opposing attorney was Brett as he is a superior attorney with a track record of slam dunking his cases. I was unsure how it would work out for me as a witness testifying against his client. Brett assured me that his first objective, in any court, is to seek the truth whether it meant a win or lose for himself. Brett was genuine and his character was consistent. Again, Brett scored in my book. No matter your legal needs, Brett is the safest starting place to address them. If he is not the best man for the job he will tell you and direct you to the expert best suited for the case. Brett is a successful attorney who doesn't seem to “need” the business but invites it because he sincerely fights for justice. Before he is an attorney, he is a Godly man, an advocate for children, a consistent character in pursuit of justice. Stacy

The worst lawyer of the century.

He makes you believe that everything will be okay and when he is faced with a great lawyer, he starts to get red and frustrated. He likes to delay the trial so he can keeps billing you. I wish I can show you his letters and compare them to a very excellent lawyer. He doesn't know how to write. I...t's either he needs to get a new assistant or refresh his writing class. My friend hired him for child custody and it's has been three years and he is still not done. So, my friend decided if anyone needs an attorney to stay away from him. My other friend, on her court date Prichard didn't even show up.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Simply put, if CPS is coming down the block, call Brett. He is an absolute master of the CPS courtroom. I have sent him clients on many occasions because I know Brett will fight like hell for them. Many times I have watched him make a complete fool out of CPS workers who don't know their own SOP manual, let alone follow it. Strongly recommended."
