Most Majestic Law Man

Bret is seriously the best lawyer, and I am like the worst client. He deserved this review a long time ago but being the patient and regal lawyer that he is, he still takes my steady stream of business with grace. I have hired Bret to help me with several traffic tickets for myself, my husband, a...nd my MIL. Every time he comes through and works his magic. He's like a wizard! He is always prompt to answer calls or texts, he is very honest and will tell you how things be, and his rates are extremely reasonable. The first time I hired Bret, I felt comfortable right away and he eased my fears. He explained the processes, how things would go, and what to expect for a timeline of events. Bret is very professional and very relatable. He does amazing work. I even had a situation outside of his practice area where he calmed me down and made suggestions for colleagues who could better support my needs. I will always go t Bret first for any and all of my many lawyer related needs and you should too. Any time I get the chance, I recommend Bret. Bret is awesome, hardworking, gets the results you want, and is just generally dope af. Worth.

The un-winnable case!

I don’t think anyone should have to go through the stress and nightmare of having to find a defense attorney but if you are ever put in that position to need one… there is no better person that Brett Woody. My husbands case was something you’d think out of a movie, a drunken fight between “friends” ...turned into a living nightmare. All the other attorneys scoffed at us when we told his story, “yeah I can’t help you.” “ there is no winning this.” “These charges are going to ruin your military career and you need to start understanding that”. These words were coming at us like daggers, fast and deep cutting. Our world and life was upside down. But Brett, when he heard my husbands story about what took place that night, He took the time to really listen and he said, “this is a tough one… but I am willing to fight tooth and nail to make sure your life and career are saved.” He listened even to me, the panicked wife unsure of what to do or how to support my husband. The charges were large, felony assault in the third degree… my husband faced a lot of jail time and the loss of his military career, a career that his has pursued since he was 17 years old.. The courts were fierce, the judge, and other prosecutors were harsh and judgmental and Brett made us feel calm in the face of this chaotic storm we were facing. Brett went out of his way to hire outside private investigators to help my husbands case and check out the outside stories/lies being said about my husband and this was vital When it came down to the trial. Brett was true to his word, he fought and was intelligent and precise with his words in defense of my husband, and the un-winnable case would turn this the entire jury found my husband not guilty and was acting in self defense… I know that if any other attorney was with us for this trial it would have not had the same outcome. He saved my husbands career and our lives.

One of a kind! Competent, Honest, & overall the BEST out there!

Bret really is one of a kind! He actually cares more about his clients than money. I hired Bret for a DVP case and he went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. During my initial conversation with Bret, he listened, and showed compassion about my situation. He understood my situation and was... very clear on explaining things to me. Bret is competent, honest, determined, passionate, and very well-versed in the law. There was never a time I asked questions that Bret did not answer or explain to me to make sure I understand. It can be hard to find lawyers who truly care about their clients and not about getting paid. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. When I needed help or have questions after hours, it was never a problem for Bret.. he was there! My case settled and I got the results I wanted and I thank Bret for being there and helping me throughout the whole process. I would totally recommend Bret to anyone in need of legal representation. If you want a lawyer that brings results and not beat around the bush, Bret is your guy! :-)

Gun Rights Restored

Some time back I filed for a concealed weapon permit. To my surprise it was declined do to non expiring restraining order for my divorce decree 16 years earlier. I contacted a number of Lawyers that weren’t comfortable handling the case. That all changed after I contacted Bret Woody. I explain...ed to Bret what I was trying to get accomplished and he took it from there. Bret made time to explain to me his game plan as well as keeping me updated on the status/progress of my case. Ultimately Bret was able to amend the divorce decree to put an end date on the restraining order, thus restoring my gun rights. All this was accomplished quickly and At what I feel was a very reasonable rate. I couldn’t be happier. Great job Bret.

A free man

Bret was the first attorney that has told me exactly how it was, he took the time to set up a zoom meeting with me witch we spoke about my case a prior charges for over 45 minutes. One thing Bret told me and sold me on him, his straight forward thoughts, telling me he will go to court fight my charge... and if I was going to be booked him and I were going to be cell mates at least for 24 hours. Who wouldn't want an attorney who ×ill say that and mean it.. If you want someone who goes above and beyond for his clients Bret Woody is your best bet! I don't plan on anymore trouble, but if it finds me Mr. Woody will always be my fist phone call.
