Brett E Engel

I simply wanted a competent, honest, ethical lawyer. Below are specific disturbing examples of Mr. Engel's representation of me. ---- 1) Mr. Engel miscalculated our financial assets by over 400%. Mr. Engel refused to stop fighting for his wrong financials until the judge threw them out. 2...) Mr. Engel guaranteed me that Oregon law required my ex to pay me spousal support in perpetuity. The judge denied Mr. Engel's demand and ordered that I receive spousal support for 1/2 the # of years we were married - because that was the standard. 3) Mr. Engel instructed me to physically harrass my husband in the home to incite him to hit me in front of the children to try to get him thrown out of the home and strengthen our case. 4) Mr. Engel instructed some of my winitnesses to state factually incorrect things. They were uncomfortable with the dishonesty and backed out.

Brett E. Engel's tactics will harm your children, you, and your ex. He creates a scorched earth environment that unnecessarily escalates conflict and drives up his fees. Children are just inconsequential collateral damage to him. While he is selling you to be his client, he is an eloquent ta...lker that presents an air of confidence. Sadly, after you hire him, you slowly learn he isn't that competent and makes routine mistakes. My ex's attorney ran circles around him which did great harm. I was sorry I didn't have my ex's attorney. Live and learn.

Mr.Engel is a waste of money and will only make your case worse! He will try and pinch every last penny he can by over charging, not communicating, and refusing to represent ethically on the matter. Not only did I waste my entire savings with this guy but he resigned before it even mattered. My Ex w...on everything and I was left high and dry! Don’t worse your time, Mr.Engel is about himself and does not represent his clients in good faith. I suggest using someone else absolutely on all matters!

I hired Brett for a divorce matter and not only did he drag the case on for way longer then it needed to but he made sure to have it cost as much as humanly possible. He lost me everything and then proceeded to tell me it’s the way it is. Awful lawyer and does not represent his clients in a decent ma...nner. Skip over Brett, you’ll be very thankful you did!
