Not All Heroes Wear Capes - Brent is the Lawyer You Want in Your Corner

When I faced an assault DV4 charge, with a prosecutor demanding a guilty plea, the situation seemed dire. The evidence was heavily against me. Despite these challenges, Brent Thompson guided me with patience and expertise, achieving a resolution through a stipulated order of continuance (SOC). His de...ep knowledge of the legal system and his commitment to personal appearances at every hearing during the pandemic were incredibly reassuring. Brent also recommended an alcohol assessment and treatment program, which has been invaluable. It’s truly helped me become the better person I am today. Watching myself grow and learn from this experience has been profoundly impactful. Brent, thanks for being like my father, a rock-solid guide when I needed it most. I’m deeply grateful for how you handled my case when I felt cornered and afraid. If you are in serious trouble, I highly recommend Brent. He offers more than just legal protection; he provides a pathway to betterment. Absolutely worth it.

Great attorney

I had a false harassment protection order filed against me by squatters living on my property that would not leave I contacted Brent Thompson and explain the situation he told me what his retainer was which was very fair considering the scope of what I was facing. He immediately went to work putting ...together a badass response to the allegations he was very knowledgeable about the law as far as what was legal what was not legal what the judges could and couldn't do under the law. I was extremely stressed out about the whole situation I didn't know what to do I had never been taken to the court before over anything like this and from the first day I talked with Brent I was immediately put at ease I felt confident and I felt reassured that Justice would prevail with him on my side when it came down for the actual hearing everything that he had put together obtained a clear victory for us I would recommend him to anybody he's punctual he's knowledgeable he's very good at keeping in contact and he's all around a good guy I think.

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!

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

Phenomenal Lawyer!

Mr. Thompson is definitely great at what he does! I’m currently in the military and was falsely arrested and charged with a crime I did not commit. With this being my first offense and not knowing much about the legal system and how it works, Mr. Thompson educated me and explained a lot of informatio...n about my case and the consequences I could face if found guilty. Ultimately the case came to a dismissal and I’m very thankful for him. He saved me and my career. Justice was definitely served! He was also very professional throughout the whole process, while also making sure I was very optimistic, knowing my stress level was very high. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance. I could not thank you enough Brent!

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."
