Whether it is a world away or here at home, I strive to help others through my work. I learned the significance of helping others from my parents who spent their careers teaching people with disabilities. In this respect, I learned one powerful lesson from my parents: be passionate about your work. I am passionate about the law and I look forward to working for you.

My job in Afghanistan included monitoring and evaluating legal training programs for the Afghan Appeals Court.

"Great Job"Brett and his private investigator, Bill, proved to be a brilliant duo when I found myself facing a difficult situation. My ex, harboring a personal vendetta, bombarded me with unfounded accusations in an attempt to damage my reputation and gain undue leverage in the divorce. Bill meticulously investigated each claim, gathering witness statements and sworn affidavits. His exhaustive report brought clarity to the situation, exposing the frivolous nature of the accusations. Armed with this compelling evidence, Brett delivered a masterful performance in court, leading to the dismissal of all charges against me. Not only did Brett secure a complete victory, but he also effectively tarnished my accuser's credibility in the eyes of the prosecutor. Any future attempts to fabricate accusations are likely to be met with skepticism and disbelief. Fantastic Job. Highly recommended.- AVVO Reviewer

"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.

"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

"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.

"African American woman, confident to stand trial with a “jury of one's peers” with attorney Brette McIntosh"I would like to extend my appreciation to Brett McIntosh, for being in his element, patience, and a great role model. His diligence, self-motivation as well as his dedication have been a source of inspiration and confidence to work toward my legal degree. Mr. McIntosh agreed to represent me and I am 5 counties away. I originally hired Mr. McIntosh on 8/05, after 6 months of dealing with an incompetent Public Defender. The first time I spoke to Mr. McIntosh, he request a profile and listened to my version of the event leading to the arrest. For 6 months I was number 11-2018-MM-XXXX, I was no longer a person or had a name. Within one weeks of hiring Mr. McIntosh, an offer was made. Mr. McIntosh educate and listen to all and any questions I may have. He never coerce and was patient. On 8/20, my first court appearance with Mr. McIntosh, he elaborately introduce me to the judge, “he made the judge see me”. The day before the hearing, the judge denied his order for continuance. While in court, he articulately had it overturn. Within one week of the court appearance, Mr. McIntosh had the charges dropped- AVVO Reviewer - Francia
