"Mr. McIntosh came highly recommended!!!"Mr. Brett McIntosh came highly recommended and did not disappoint! Being from out of state, I was very skeptical. Never being in any kind of trouble in my life and being charged with a felony I was very intent on proving my innocence. Brett and his staff always returned my phone calls promptly, was very patient with me and answered all of my questions thoroughly. He listened to me and was very upfront and honest about my situation. Not only did he get my charges dropped but, also expunged from my record! Brett and his staff went above and beyond for me and I will be forever grateful! If you need a good honest and upfront attorney, Brett is definitely the person you want to hire! Much thanks!!- AVVO Reviewer - Dan

"Highly recommended"
Brett McIntosh was refereed to me by a friend of my family. He was able to get one of my charges dropped and the other changed to a misdemeanor. He explained everything to me and made me feel less worried about the outcome. He handled my whole case very well. He is one of the best around and you will be in very good hands with him on your side. Thank you Brett.

"Criminal Felony charges"Mr. McIntosh did not set me up for failure. He did not sugar coat my charge or lie to me at any point, he was straight forward and up front about everything. He is as I was told an Attorney that State Prosecutors want to avoid at all costs due to his immense experience, his court procedure and the fight he goes out of his way to defend his clients. Mr. McIntosh is that and much more if you find yourself looking at the wrong side of the law for any reason I urge you to contact him without any doubt what so ever. He had my case dismissed without me even having to go to court once. I spent 20 years in the Military and I'm telling my fellow Brothers and Sisters here to find Brett if you have legal issues. He is not a Blue Falcon he will not give in to the Prosecutors to spare some hard work. Thank you Mr. McIntosh David King. DUSTOFF- AVVO Reviewer - David

"Very Happy Client"I am writing in regards to my case and my decision to hire your firm for my legal situation. From moment one you explained my case and what you would do to help me. You gave me no false hopes just facts and the chances, good and bad in what you felt the outcome would be. My only regret is that I didn’t spend the money and hire you in the very beginning of my case as I truly feel that I would not have gone to prison for two and a half years for something I did not do. I regret not calling you for help sooner. At any rate, I could have been stuck with a restitution payment that would have most certainly put me back in prison for an additional ten years without your knowledge, help and professionalism. Thank you for giving me hope again. Thank you Brett McIntosh and your paralegals, Ron and Joanne, for all of your help and good wishes. I would recommend your firm to anyone in a situation that they’d never dreamed would happen to them- AVVO Reviewer - Judy

"Extremely professional"Brett helped with a felony case of a family member. He was very communicative. His assistant kept us informed and up to date on all the proceedings. At the court you could definately see he was well respected by his colleagues. When he started on our case you could see why. I would say that you certainly can not go wrong hiring him. I can't begin to explain how much he helped us when 3 other lawyers has messed us around so badly. Truly goes above and beyond. So much kindness to those who need it- AVVO Reviewer

"Superb results with Mr. McIntosh"Getting myself into trouble was quite embarrassing not to mention humiliating and expensive. It became a fearful, nervous, stressful time in my life, From the very minute I contacted Mr. McIntosh, I felt a sense of calmness and relief. He and his entire staff were always very patient, informative, and accommodating in every way. I grew up in Manatee County with Brett. He has always had a high moral standard. His reputation is remarkable. I'm forever grateful to Mr.McIntosh for getting me results that are more realistic and manageable.- AVVO Reviewer - Wanda
