Best attorney we could have asked for.

Bryan has provided excellent service and representation handling our case. He has guided us all along the way, being informative and clear. Very dependable, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. He has tackled every aspect available to resolve our issue for our best outcome. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic attorney!

My case was extremely hard to win - yet Mr. Hackett won my case!! At my trial, Mr. Hackett got the judge to exclude the prosecution's evidence and have all public records of my arrest sealed!! I learned about Mr. Hackett by asking another lawyer in the area that did not feel qualified in handling... my case who they would recommend, and he was their top recommendation in the Monterrey / Salinas area. Before learning of Mr. Hackett I was desperate and had even contacted a lawyer from one of those big state-wide legal websites - they said my case wasn't worth their time and hung up on me. Yet when I first called Mr. Hackett, he asked for details of my case, and then researched my case further on his own before agreeing to take the case. He did so because he wanted to help me, yet did not feel comfortable taking my money if he did think there was at least a chance he could win my case. For him to do non-billable work before even taking the case, solely for my benefit, speaks volumes on his character. Mr. Hackett is incredibly honest, knowledgeable, and hard-working. After he agreed to take my case, he continually kept me informed by email and phone. Not once did I have to contact him first and wait for a return a call. He contacted me whenever there was an update or merely to see if I had any questions. If I did call, he always called me back immediately. He also explained his reasoning for each action involved with the case, which was extremely helpful to someone like me that knows nothing of the law. Lastly, and the most important part - he is a fantastic lawyer! He is incredibly thorough and meticulous - researching the law, searching for anything that can help your case, evaluating numerous avenues for your defense, with no stone left unturned. Mr. Hackett's thorough knowledge of the law and perseverance in finding ways to support my evidence was incredible, and as stated above, won my case, leaving me with a clean record!! I couldn't be happier!!
