Bretton is the best

I have been trying to get my rights restored and convictions set aside for years, he finally did it. I am so thankful. Thank you so much. You don't know how much I appreciate it.

Excellent Representation

Bretton personally helped me from outside of the Tucson area and succeeded in the process that we had set up from the beginning of my charges. Helped not only get through tough situations from a non-resident in need. He took care of BUSINESS. With nothing less then what I needed or information I aske...d for was giving to me at all times.

New Jersey Resident Review of Bretton Barber

Bret Barber was an enormous help to a family member who needed a record expungement. Not only was he sensitive to our personal situation, but he was also very professional, competent and caring but he also had a great working relationship with judges, other lawyers, court clerks and other professiona...ls. Bret is rare in that he clearly has a high degree of expertise but also is a genuinely caring and compassionate individual with high ethics and a thorough understanding of the law. I would highly recommend Bret to anyone needing legal help for expungements, civil or criminal matters. His rates were fair and we definitely got our money's worth.

Man of Integrity

Mr. Barber is a young but very knowledgeable and attentive attorney. Mr. Barber was interested in me and my case, and not just thinking about getting paid. He made sure that my motion had every piece possible to get the judge's attention. He also is very current with the law in our jurisdiction so h...e was able to guide me in the right direction. This was very important to me because he is very knowledgeable in my type of case. Another strong aspect he carries is good judgement, he will be honest with you, and also he will not give up.

Life Changing & Phenomenal!!!

Bretton advised me on the entire process of having my conviction set aside, vacating my judgement of guilt, restoring my civil rights (including my right to bear arms) and filed all the necessary paperwork for me. I only had to go to his office one time. I never had to go to any court appearances an...d one day I received a wonderful phone call with a big congratulations from him informing me I was granted everything I asked for. He mailed me the signed court documents and I read what he filed. I was extremely impressed and appreciative as to how he captured who I am today and why I felt I deserved this second chance. This has lifted such a burden off of my shoulders and was long overdue. I wish I would have done this a long time ago!!! If this is something you need done, I highly recommend Bretton and am so very grateful for everything he has helped me with!!!
