"Excellent Attorney"
For the first time in my life I got myself into some legal trouble, and was charged with a DUI. After speaking with others who have had similar legal issues I chose to hire Brett McIntosh as he came highly recommended, and I see why. He was very upfront and clear about where he saw my case going and also was honest and reasonable with his fees. He used the details of my case to afford me every legal avenue that I had available. This resulted in a favorable outcome for me. What a relief. Brett is a great lawyer, do yourself a favor and talk with him if you need a criminal defense lawyer. Thank you Brett for your hard work on my case.

"Brett gave me my life back"Brett came highly recommended to me by several other lawyers whom I hold in high regard. Brett was more than fair in his fees and he even charged me significantly less than the price we agreed on. He leveled with me on exactly what to expect each step of the way and never gave me false hope. Brett countered negotiations with the state to make a deal but I ultimately didn't feel comfortable accepting and Brett supported my decision. He told me what to expect if we went to trial and what the repercussions could be if things didn't go my way. I was terrified but continually reassured by those I know in the business that I had the right guy in my corner. I was also nervous at the notion of testifying but Brett gave me confidence to do so. On the day of trial Brett picked up on even the subtlest of inconsistencies and mounted an excellent defense on my behalf. Even up until the end of the trial, it seemed as if the verdict could go either way, but Brett's closing statements to the jury were incredibly compelling and ultimately landed a not guilty verdict. Brett isn't only a damn good lawyer, he's a damn good man and I am forever grateful for his services- AVVO Reviewer - Travis

"At tough time in my life"At one of the lowest times in my life I showed up at Brett's office. I knew when I walked into his office that I was at the right place. Through my whole legal process he was professional, competent, informative, skilled and kind. The judge during my hearing paused on a side note to talk about what an amazing lawyer and man Brett was to the law profession. I was so impressed to hear amazing words about my attorney. Thank you Brett for the integrity you bring to the profession.- AVVO Reviewer

"Best around, hands down."Brett has been an outstanding attorney throughout my court case. Over the process, he helped me remain calm despite the sentence I was possibly facing. I am here today, writing this review, because of Brett and the time and effort that he put in to make sure that I received the best sentence I couldĀ get. He is knowledgeable, approachable, and understanding of his client's needs. I would highly recommend Brett to anyone who is in need of a criminal defense attorney. He is the best around, hands down.- AVVO Reviewer - Ben
