Brett Ryan Wishart

My situation was somewhat unique in that I had been divorced already for 7 years. I have three kids and my ex wife lives within a mile of me. She hired an attorney and then filed for a child support modification with outrageous demands. I had no choice but to hire an attorney and so I set out to inte...rview several. After speaking to several attorneys and not really sure who to hire, I lastly met with Brett. One of the first things that impressed me about Brett was that family law is the only law that he practices; it is what he specializes in. Other attorneys practice multiple types of law. Listening to the way he was going to approach my case made it very obvious to me at that moment to hire him on the spot. Aside from that, I got a great sense that Brett was a real person. He is a great listener, very compassionate and aggressive at the same time. He truly knows the law in our county and along with his amazing team, worked tremendously hard on my case. I truly believe that the opposing counsel was overwhelmed at the iron clad case that Brett put together on my behalf. We ended up settling everything without having to go too far through the system. I would highly recommend Brett Wishart's office for anybody's family law needs.

I selected Brett Wishart to represent me in my divorce and I was very pleased with the results. The divorce was complicated by custody issues and by a debt my ex-husband had illegally accrued during our marriage. Mr. Wishart was very understanding of my concerns and assured me that he could and wou...ld handle all of the issues. He is a knowledgeable attorney with a calm, professional demeanor. He shows compassion for your problems and he demonstrates his commitment to solving the legal ones in a sure, confident manner. Mr. Wishart explained the options and costs of a possible trial versus a settlement. Mr. Wishart and I agreed that working for a settlement would be our best option. With Mr. Wishart’s firm knowledge of the law and his negotiating skills he was able to obtain a very fair settlement. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a family law attorney. His experience, knowledge, and commitment to his clients is unparalleled.

As a single father, the system can feel stacked against you. Brett Wishart's office has done a great job for me, and in spite of my complicated move-away custody case, in the end I was awarded sole physical custody of my 6-year-old son. They had a detailed approach to the legal arguments and case law..., which our judge found to be useful and persuasive, and also made sure to incorporate the personal information that made my case (and I'm sure every case is) unique, giving me the comfort that everything that could be done, was being done, and giving the judge the best possible information for making a good decision. Personality-wise, Brett and his associates' demeanor is confident, professional, organized, and friendly. Many attorneys advertise an aggressive "bulldog" persona, and I felt more secure with the collected approach Brett Wishart takes - getting aggressive when necessary, but always staying in control. It's very easy to get emotional in divorce and custody cases, but an attorney should be the voice of reason, and that is what worked best for my case, reassuring me that my goals were reasonable, and achieving them. Finally, they were up front about estimated costs, and didn't nickel and dime me with extra charges.

Brett is the most down to earth, knowledgeable and experienced attorney I have come in contact with so far. From the beginning, he actively listened to my concerns, presented practical options and was empathetic towards my very complicated situation (child custody, visitation, and a lengthy 730 ...evaluation). I look forward to his advise as my case continues and trust he will help me and my family make the right decisions. Thank you, Brett, for all you do for us!

I engaged Brett Wishart and his team (Yolie & Holly) to help me with my divorce under some unique circumstances. I live in Florida and I am a full-time resident of Florida - never even lived in California. My ex-wife filed for divorce in California so it was imperative I found a highly competent at...torney in California, and within Orange County. Being a former attorney, I did a lot of research and determined Brett and his team would be the best choice for me. My research proved true - Brett is an incredible attorney and walked me through each step of the process, explaining each option and what to expect. Moreover, he was very understanding and displayed a high level of empathy for me, since divorce is a very personal matter. His team were very thoughtful, engaging and highly competent. Brett plans for the worse / most difficult outcome so there are no surprises, but works diligently at trying to preserve / achieve the best outcome, thus reducing stress & reducing legal fees. I am very grateful for his counsel and highly recommend him as an attorney and as a genuinely understanding person.
