Business Purchase

Mr. Brett provided reliable, honest, and outstanding representation from beginning to end. He helped guide me through the process of purchasing my business with expertise and professionalism, addressed my questions/concerns with precision and clarity, responded quickly to my emails, and helped me to ...carry out an excellent transaction. Truly an exceptional attorney!

Wonderfully supportive and highly knowledgeable

Randy was absolutely amazing to work with. He offered good insight regarding true risks and made excellent suggestions regarding negotiating tactics as well as legal improvements to the documentation provided to us by opposing council. Randy identified a wide variety of the opposing council's errors... and negotiated improvements on our behalf. I highly recommend Randy if you are looking for an affordable and honest attorney.

Trustworthy Attorney

Randy did an excellent job representing us during a critical business transaction. We were under a very short timeline and Randy made himself available 24/7. He is a very knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney. I highly recommend him and if the need arises I would certainly go back to him again.

Business Purchase

Randall was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was sure to explain all the complicated details our business purchase included so that we understood completely the process and did not miss any necessary documents or filings. His representation provided us a secure and successful transaction....

Excellent Lawyer

I recently hired Mr. Brett to represent me in complicated traffic violations. During our first meeting, his obvious professional competence quickly made me felt at ease. He told me what to expect and gave me all my options before going to court. At the court date he was on time and led me through the... all process represented me very professionally. I was very comfortable with Mr. Brett as my attorney and highly recommend him as a competent attorney for any legal case within his expertise. He has an extremely pleasant personality to add to all the expert knowledge he has in his field.

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.
