Appreciate brief legal consult!

I called Mr. Kobes to discuss a contract law situation. He took the time to talk me through the possibilities and put my mind at ease regarding the situation. I offered to pay him for the short discussion, but he declined. If this situation blows up into an actual legal case, I will definitely reach... back out to Mr. Kobes!

Best Attorney!

I highly recommend Brett for your legal needs! Brett helped me with a speeding ticket. He is very thorough, diligent, professional, and always follows through. He always kept in contact with me and continued to keep me up to date with what was going on at all times. I would not think twice and he wou...ld be my go to if the need ever arises for me to seek legal advice or help in the future. I am very thankful for him and his help! Look nowhere else, he is the best attorney you will find!

It is always fun getting traffic tickets thrown out of Court for our clients!

Settled Potential Lawsuit Quickly

We are a non-profit that was threatened with a lawsuit. We hired Brett and he facilitated a settlement quickly and without a lawsuit. We are impressed with Brett's compassion and knowledge of employment law. We highly recommend him.

Helpful, Kind and Thorough

Brett reviewed a potential lawsuit and gave specific and helpful guidance. I was especially appreciative of his direct communication style. He knew exactly the laws that pertained to the issue and named the options we had. It turned out our insurance company did take on the claim, but I wouldn't have... known even that without guidance from Brett. I would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

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.
