This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Distressed witness

Intention consult was innocent but divorce is a bad choice for all. Ladies and gentlemen marriage is a trap and regardless of social status or income, divorce, restraining orders and worse child parenting plans generates income for the law and their aide and makes couples worse, Please, use project...befree in Renton and spare the law. solutions not fued! #love to all

Genuine support when you need it most

Carl provided the upmost counsel and support through a difficult divorce. He was calm, quick, and knowledgeable when I needed it the most. Would absolutely recommend Carl for anyone seeking fair and compassionate support on family legal matters.

Bellevue's Best Attorney

Men, if you need an attorney let me tell you Carl Brecht hit this one out of the courtroom. This was a very complicated case and he was able to get me everything that was best for the children. I definitely will have Carl complete my pending divorce and any other issues that may arise. Way to go Ca...rl, thank you for a great outcome.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
