"They Guide You All the Way"Brett takes the time to explain all the details of the timeline and procedures. Using his knowledge and experience, he guides you through what can be a nervous and daunting time as comfortably as possible.- Mark H.

"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

"MERRIT"Brett McIntosh was referred to me by another excellent attorney who helped me Charlotte County, FL's blood sucking judicial process. I found the best attorney in SW FL when I met Brett McIntosh to help a friend with a problem Brett resolved easily. The deal is over but I told my friend I'm very confident Brett McIntosh will always be successful.- AVVO Reviewer - Carmine

"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.

"BEST IN BUSINESS"Brett was by our son's side immediately at his bond hearing. So thorough and professional. His team diligently and relentlessly gathered information, Brett compiled and was able to obtain all charges dropped. We highly recommend him to anyone.- AVVO Reviewer

"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

"Best criminal defense attorney"Our family found ourselves in need of a criminal defense attorney. We had not lived in Florida too long and wasn't sure where to turn. We first went to the yellow pages hiring an attorney who did not care for justice and looked for an easy way out. Seeking new counsel we had several recommendations direct us to Mr. McIntosh. Hiring Brett, co-counsel Kevin and legal secretary Sherry was the best decision we ever made. Brett was committed, knowledgeable and aggressive. Brett's credibility and reputation amongst fellow attorneys, the state attorney's and judges provide a solid foundation for Brett and his team to fight for us and allow justice to prevail. There is no other criminal defense attorney with this experience and knowledge to fight for you. I was told that Brett was the best and our family can say from first hand experience that is the case.- AVVO Reviewer

"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
