Brett Ryan Wishart

I had originally retained different counsel for my divorce. After 4 months of no progress and poor communication with their office, i reached out to Brett. Brett took my case and was very thorough explaining everything to me. Brett and Holly kept me up to date on the progress all the way throug...h. I never once had to reach out to them for an update. Brett is very knowledgeable and skillful at what he does. He pushed forward to move my case along. I was ready to take my case to trial but because of Brett's expertise and negotiating skills, we were able to settle in mediation. Thank you Brett - you did an outstanding job!

My divorce was not easy, nor was it pleasant. How many typically are? However, having Brett on my side and in my corner was a smart move. Brett was a referral from a family member and I couldn't have been more pleased with the fit. He was tough and bold when it was needed. He was compassionate and un...derstanding when I needed to vent or didn't feel strong. The office was 100% professional, courteous, punctual, and welcoming every time I visited. There was always a level of comfort and reassurance. I never felt completely alone in this difficult process. In the end, I knew I wasn't going to walk away with everything. However, I am very pleased and satisfied with the settlement that Mr. Wishart got for me. I highly recommend Brett Wishart, 100%!

One of the best things I can say about Brett was that he was very patient and nice!! Always explained to me everything, every step of the way of what was happening and let me ask as many questions as I wanted. Was very professional and polite in court and on time whenever we meet. Return my calls in ...a timely manner. And one of the best quality's was he was on top of the case and knew his facts. When all seemed as if it was bleak, he was calm. And assured me everything would be fine, in the end he was right and we prevailed. When having a huge storm in your life and you need someone in your corner. Brett is the one to call on for help. Again thanks some much Brett for your help!!

I have already left a review from myself. However, since so many of family law cases involve children, I thought it would be helpful to hear a review from my children. The following is direct from letters that both of my children wrote to Brett: From my daughter: Dear Brett, Wow, I don't eve...n know where to start. I'm speechless over your generosity. I can't thank you enough for all that you've done for my family and myself also. You gave me and my brother the one thing that no one else could- a voice. I can't even imagine where I'd be now if you hadn't stepped in to help. I am and always will be grateful for your kindness. Thank you for giving me and [my brother] brighter futures. With Love, [my daughter] (She was 7 when we first came to Brett and today she is 15.) From My Son: Thank you Brett so much for everything you've done. You are a really cool guy and I love every thing you've been doing for my family. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to you. All I can say is THANK YOU. You are so awesome, [my son] (he was 5 when we first came to Brett and today he is 13.)

It is with great pleasure that I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Brett Wishart. Brett accepted my case regarding custody and visitation years after my "amicable" divorce that had taken place without any attorney involvement. After my divorce I became a legal secretary myself (not for Brett or anyone within hi...s firm,) and I now know the importance of good legal representation. Regardless of my knowledge of Family Law and how the system works, my own case made me just as emotional and short sighted as anyone dealing with the sensitivity of the well being of their children. Brett not only comforted my anxiety but made sure to keep me on track. Most clients want a counselor/attorney but only desire to pay for one of them. It takes a well rounded and ethical attorney (person) to be able to give comfort without exploiting the "by the hour" fee that can be abused by some. Brett (and his staff) are amazing at making a client feel heard at the same time that they keep them on track of the task at hand. I have no doubt that my legal fees would have been twice as much had I been allowed to "vent" more than I did. And again, I always felt heard and comforted. My case resulted in a full 730 evaluation. Brett was AMAZING in his guidance of the entire process. I am convinced that if it hadn't been for his strong suggestion for me to forego the opposing side's offer to split costs in favor of their evaluator and instead pay 100% to be able to choose Brett's suggested evaluator, that my case would not have ended in my children's best interest. Sometimes you must lose a battle to win the war and win the war my kids did! I owe my kids' childhood to Brett and to the evaluator that he chose. Let's face it, no one wants to be in a position to hire an attorney. Knowing what I now know, I would NEVER represent myself in court even with my legal background. I know that many feel that legal fees are astronomically high and begrudgingly hand over the retainer and then reluctantly agree to their attorney's suggestions because of fees. People get a sense of entitlement because their feelings of being "wronged" somehow equate in their mind that their attorney should be honored to represent them. If whomever reading this comes away with anything from someone who has gone before you, let it be these three things: 1. Your emotional distress and that of every other client is thrust upon your attorney and no amount of money could ever be enough to willing take on someone else's stresses. That being said, your choice of an attorney is crucial and you would be wise to pick Brett Wishart. 2. You may not like every bit of advise that Brett gives you but it is always in your case's best interest, you'd be wise to take it. (I cannot make that statement for all attorneys in the world.) 3. Your attorney is only as good as the truths you tell him. He cannot represent you well if you do not represent yourself well to him. I hope that his has been helpful in your search for the right attorney. I lucked out in finding Brett on my own. Take my advice and stop your search because you would be foolish to not retain Brett's services.
