Highly Recommend Brent Thompson

Brent is very professional and efficient! He cleared my name for an old infraction and my 2nd amendment rights are fully restored! This man has integrity and I would hire him again if needed.

Posted by Nick | May 16, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Very Helpful

I used Mr. Thompson a few years ago in a very sticky divorce case with two young children involved. Brent was extremely quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns even responding to emails late in the evening and on weekends. He is intelligent, polite, well spoken, and personable. He tru...ly helped me during the most stressful time of my life. Recently my deposit on a rental house was held from me with no clear reason as to why. When I reached out to Brent he responded the next day, willing to help, and remembered me and my children's names. Brent got me my deposit back with a well and sternly worded letted. Then when I asked how I should go about paying him he said "I am not going to bill you for this letter. I am doing it as a courtesy since you were an excellent former client, I value our relationship, and I want to do you the favor." Honestly I would recommend never needing a lawyer. But, if you do Brent will do a great job for you.

Great dedication

Mr. Thomson was awesome in not only restoring my fire arms rights, but with following through when the FBI didn't process my restoration. He was genuinely upset that my restoration had not been followed through with by the FBI and He pushed until I was able to buy a fire arm without issue. As soon a...s I was eligible he filed for my felony convictions to be expunged. Despite all the craziness with covid 19 he found a way to get my case resolved when though court was not in session. I knew he provided great legal help, but never expected the court to do this while closed! Mr. Thomson is worth every penny! He has genuine interest in representing his clients to the best of his ability!

A true professional

Brent was very punctual and wasted no time when handling my case. He made sure to read every little detail pertaining to our proceedings so that I would know exactly what was going on. I've used other lawyers in the past that seemed to just want my case off there desk. I did not get that vibe from Mr.... Thompson at all. In fact he was very personable and took his time to ensure that the proper steps were being taken. I would recommend Mr. Thompson to anybody I know who might be in need of his expertise.

Posted by anonymous | January 08, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Exceptional Attorney

I was falsely charged with domestic violence, after telling my wife I want a divorce. We had been married for one year. I met Brent, he explained all the charges in detail. Brent is highly skilled, I knew he was the right attorney for me. It took sometime but in the end Brent Thompson was able to gat...her discovery, other evidence and information that ultimately convinced the prosecutor to dismiss my case. Brent Thompson demonstrated care and concern for me throughout this ordeal and a determination to take the time to get all the evidence to support my case. This is undoubtedly the most frightening experience I’ve ever had. Brent was there for me. I highly recommend Brent Thompson and his firm. He saved my life in every way! He is an excellent attorney

General practice lawyer | Sep 19

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Brent is the most competent, hard working, creative, and diligent lawyer I have ever met. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. He obsesses over every detail of every case, constantly trying to get the best possible result for every client. Funny thing is that, after all that commitment to his work, he does get the best results possible. Recently he sued the Federal Government on a gun rights case. I had my doubts that it was a good idea. The Feds can be, shall we say, difficult?. He not only devoted himself to the work, but he won what many would consider to be a virtually impossible case. And he got the judge to order the US Attorney's Office to pay for our client's legal fees in the process. Need I say more? Brent is a phenomenal lawyer and every one of his clients is in great hands."
