"Best lawyer I had represent me"Brett is the best lawyer I had reprsent threw my past he's outstanding with getting the offer and plea that you want. He met every standard from keeping me out of prison. I was facing 4 years in department of corrections for a agg battery with a deadly weapon which I was defending my self in the first place. He got it down to a 3rd degree felony battery with 3 years probation and restitution outstanding I would recommend him to anybody to represent them- AVVO Reviewer

"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.

"The man"Bret is the best attorney for criminal defense in manatee and sarasota counties. I was wrongfully accused and Bret took the challenge to go up against a police dept. Bret was more than fair when it came to price. Bret treated me like a friend, he took his time learning about the case from both sides. He also seemed to enjoy going to trial and standing up for what was right and THAT is why he is the best. He's passionate about righting the wrong. Not matter how big or small your case is, Mr. Mcintosh will approched it with confidence and certain type of "swag" that everyone in the room respects.- AVVO Reviewer - Jarrod

"Case involving a Juvenile"My 16 y/o son was facing 3rd degree felony charges for something he didn't do. After hearing Brett is the best criminal defense attorney in town, I hired him, and was not disappointed! Brett is passionate about the law and people's rights and recommended we fight this. We could've just bowed down and went thru the juvenile probation system, but what would that be teaching my son? He's a good kid & applying for college scholarships...having a record would've ruined so many things he's worked so hard for. We could not have done this without Brett. He is very professional, knowledgeable & thorough. He's very confident in his abilities, as he should be. When he walked into the courtroom, you could tell how well respected he was by the other attorneys, as well as the cops and even the judge! He's definitely somebody you want on your side. My son's case was dismissed. Had it not been for Brett's guidance & expertise throughout this whole process, we would not have had the outcome that we did. I would recommend Brett McIntosh to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney. He's very passionate about the law and his job, and truly cares about his clients from start to finish. I also have to say thank you to attorney Kevin Griffith who works w/ Brett. I'm extremely happy and can't say enough good things about Brett McIntosh and the whole team at McIntosh Law.- AVVO Reviewer

"The Absolute Best"After being arrested for something that I was not responsible for, I sought legal assistance. I met with several attorneys before deciding Mr. McIntosh was the best candidate. The circumstances of my arrest were very stressful for me. Mr. McIntosh expressed my need to be patient to let the case work out. He was always very courteous and professional, as was his co-counsel and legal secretary. My many phone calls and emails were promptly answered. My mind was set at ease many times when I contacted Mr. McIntosh to see how things were progressing, he made the situation much less stressful. I was very comfortable in trusting and believing in Mr. McIntosh and his legal advice. As my case progressed I was offered a plea by the state that I was not comfortable accepting, as I was not guilty of the charge against me. Mr. McIntosh was very forthcoming of what the consequences could be if we went to trial and it did not go my way. He also gave me the courage to believe that the truth is what I needed to stand by. We proceeded to trial, I was very scared but trusted Mr. McIntosh that the truth would come out. The charges were dropped before trial. I do not believe another attorney would have worked as diligently as he did to show the prosecutor what the facts were or to guide me to stand up for myself as he did. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I hope to never need the assistance of another attorney again, but in the event I did...he is the only attorney I would call.- AVVO Reviewer
