About Brett

Believe it or not, Brett actually enjoys practicing family law full time. Brett is from a “yours, mine, and ours” family so he understands the stresses and heartache that are a part of every family law case. Brett approaches family law from the somewhat conflicting views that conflict is expensive but also that some things are worth fighting for. Brett understands that each client’s familial conflict is the most important thing in the client’s life, and he will work to ensure that you are fully informed of all available options and outcomes for your case. Brett has based his practice around the idea that representation should not be too expensive for regular people to afford.  

Brett is a die-hard Saints fan (which is hard sometimes) and an animal lover (which helps).

      Review Brett Chalmers

      Highly Recommend

      Posted by

      I hired Brett Chalmers for my dissolution case and he was amazing. He is very professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. Brett took on my case just prior to my mediation and quickly reviewed, discovered and corrected errors in my initial case filing by another attorney. He put in many hours to get up to speed quickly. The response time in communication with Brett was a very short turn around. Each time I have had contact with Brett I have felt as if he truly cares. I would highly recommend Brett. I had no concerns during the process with Brett and he was able to take a very stressful situation and put me at ease, giving me confidence in the outcome.

      Best divorce lawyer

      Posted by

      Brett worked very hard on my case and I was awarded everything I asked for including the children. He kept me up to date on all issues that came up in my case and worked very quickly to resolve them.

      Unreliable and dismissive

      Posted by

      Brett was assigned to me for a PPO case, then was hired in my divorce case. He was not diligent in my PPO case, and passed me off to his partner for the PPO, who had much less experience in those kind of cases. The PPO was lost, and that attorney was also assigned to my divorce without any input from me. I was spoken to in very insulting and dismissive ways by his partner, and when I requested that I have Brett back as my attorney, he ignored me. Highly unsatisfied with their services, now all of my requests for them to withdraw have gone completely ignored, further delaying my divorce case. I would not recommend Brett or his partner to anyone, and they are impossible to communicate with.
