    "He's the BEST!!!"

    I would highly recommend Attorney Brett McIntosh, who serves Sarasota and Manatee Counties. A friend referred us to him, and he was able to charges reduced to a misdemeanor, and our case was handled very well. If it had not been, there would have been repercussions for many years for come. Mr. McIntosh is highly esteemed within the law community by his peers as well. He is a man of integrity and honesty, and his staff is excellent as well. You'll be in good hands, and well taken care of.

    "Trustworthy Attorney"
    Even though my case was a relatively minor civil matter Mr. McIntosh approached it with the same importance as a serious criminal matter. He is prepared to fight for his clients. His relationship with the state attorney’s office and credibility with the judges provide an excellent advantage to his clients. I would strongly recommend Mr. McIntosh and his committed staff.

    "HOME RUN!!"
    Mr. McIntosh is the best lawyer in Sarasota. I really got myself into serious trouble getting my 4th. DUI. I was referred to Brett by a close friend that I truly trust. I met with him and he was straight to the point. Letting me know just how serious a 4th DUI is. Any DUI is serious, but the 4th. one...I'm going to jail. Brett had a plan in mind from the get go, and the plan worked. He not only kept me from going to jail for a long time, but got me sentenced into a one year program built around helping me with my drinking issue. His work ethic, attention to detail, and overall legal abilities are outstanding. If you are looking to retain one of the best attorneys in the Sarasota area, I highly recommend McIntosh Law. Thanks Brett!!
