"Highly Recommended ,10 stars!"

My family originally hired Brett in 1999 for serious charges, state was offering 17 years. I will never forget the day when Mr. McIntosh asked me" would you like to take the states offer or should I prepare for trial"? Without hesitation I said, " prepare for trial", that's how much faith and trust i have in Brett. Mr. McIntosh and his dedicated staff put their heart and soul in my case (which took about 2 years) had a trial jury and won! I now have my own "statue" that people in my position can use in court. Brett is one of the best trial attorneys I have ever seen, he faught for me like I was his own daughter. Just recently ,2019, I found myself in a little bit of trouble my first instinct was to call Brett and without hesitation he was there for me and everything went in my favor. I personally have a special bond with Brett. God and Brett worked together and saved my life in 1999. This is the man to go to if you have any criminal charges. He will work for you like no other attorney will, he is highly respected and to be honest I think a lot of attorneys are afraid or maybe intimidated to go up against him. When you hire Brett and he tells you something and I know it's hard but just believe what he says because he's honest , upfront and to the point. He will always be my Attorney and I'm actually going to be working with him on something in a few months. Brett is a wonderful man, his staff is wonderful and are on every detail. This attorney, Brett McIntosh, is the best attorney from Charlotte to Manatee county. Good luck to everyone!

"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.

"Outstanding!"

Brett worked on my case for almost over a year. He put so much time and effort into my case it was unbelievable. We ended up going to trial. The trial lasted three days, and Brett and Kevin never stopped fighting. They put so much heart into everthing they did. We won that trial, and I was found innocent. If it wasn't for Brett, I don't think I'd be where I am today. Seriously, in my opinion, Brett and his team are the best lawyers I could have asked for!

"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.

"Amazing Attorney!"

Brett McIntosh was my attorney in a drug case in which I was arrested for four felony drug possessions. I hired Brett before I was arrested, because i knew it was coming after a long investigation. I found Brett through word of mouth. I was in a class with someone that had a similar drug possession, and Brett did incredible things for him. Brett walked me through every step of the process and really alleviated a lot of my anxiety. He discussed options, likely outcomes, and went for the best-case-scenario. When I was arrested, the booking Sheriff was filling out the paperwork and asked if I had an attorney. I responded, "Brett McIntosh." His only response while writing his name on the booking sheet was, "Good attorney." And he said it in a way that he obviously meant it sincerely. In the end, Brett's relationships with the prosecutors, judges, police and other court personnel paid off for me and I ended up with the best-cas-scenario. He got me into a program that will allow me to have my charges dismissed upon completion and not have felony drug convictions on my record. For me this was the best possible outcome. Thanks Brett.

"The best criminal defense lawyer in Florida"

During a difficult time in my life, I had the support of knowledgeable and aggressive attorney. Mr. McIntosh always kept me aware of the circumstances of my case and helped me to make the best choices with consequences that I could live with. I would highly recommend Mr. McIntosh to anyone who needed an honest attorney. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I did Mr. McIntosh would be the first person I would call.
