Review of Brett M Hager

Brett responded to my email and we have exchanged several emails. I would have rated Brett Excellent in all area except that we have not had that much interaction to date. Brett did offer alternatives other than hiring a lawyer which I did appreciate.

Professional, Efficient Lawyer

I contacted several attorneys with a rather unique and somewhat challenging business legal issue involving the purchase of a former company that I owned. Mr. Hager was the only attorney who actually even took the time to respond and find out the exact details of my case. Within days, Brett had be...gun to research my case and began contacting most of the parties involved. He has been quick to respond to my inquiries and has been very good at keeping me up to date on the status of my case. My overall case time has been only a few months and Mr. Hager was able to reach negotiations without having to incur litigation costs and court fees. With Mr. Hager's legal expertise and efficient negotiating skills, the conclusion to my case is favorably on my side. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Brett Hager from Sanders & Parks to anyone needing professional, effective legal services. Jennifer P. Desert Hills, AZ

Professional, Honest and great Communication Skills

Brett was easly to talk with and understood my needs. I was handling most of the issues direct to me from the ROC, Brett only go involved when I requested him to. He was 100% behind me. I have recommended Brett to several individuals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
