About
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.
I joined McIntosh Law Firm as an Associate Attorney in 2013. I am a trial attorney and member in good standing of the Florida Bar Association. Prior to joining McIntosh Law Firm, I worked as a Foreign Service Limited officer with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Afghanistan. My job in Afghanistan included monitoring and evaluating legal training programs for the Afghan Appeals Court.
My family and I are active members of the Sarasota community. I serve as the Vice-Chairman of the Sarasota County Democrat Executive Committee and I am a Board Member of the Gulf Coast Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Association. I am a parish member at Church of the Incarnation in Sarasota. We are members and frequent visitors to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.

"I highly recommend"
Brett was highly recommended from a good friend of mine. And I couldn't have been more happier with his service. He is hands down the best around and very professional.

"Compassionate, Knowledgeable Attorney"Two years ago I was charged with a felony and my lawyer and I agreed that a plea agreement was my best choice of action. Within the first year my lawyer died unexpectedly, two months before my first sentencing hearing. My family made numerous calls to lawyers in the Sarasota area and Brett McIntosh was recommended and took on my case. He is a very smart and knowledgeable attorney who was also easy to talk with. We discussed my situation at length and he explained every aspect of my case with me. He worked hard for a year through numerous postponements on my behalf and was able to get my sentence lowered. He is an excellent attorney who treated me like a person and not just a client. I made poor choices which led to my arrest and he believed in me and knew I was a good person. Thanks to him I will be able to get my life back on a positive track sooner than I hoped.- AVVO Reviewer - Derek

Brett McIntosh is an excellent advocate, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal representation.- Daisy

"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

"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

"Extremely professional"Brett helped with a felony case of a family member. He was very communicative. His assistant kept us informed and up to date on all the proceedings. At the court you could definately see he was well respected by his colleagues. When he started on our case you could see why. I would say that you certainly can not go wrong hiring him. I can't begin to explain how much he helped us when 3 other lawyers has messed us around so badly. Truly goes above and beyond. So much kindness to those who need it- AVVO Reviewer

"Brett McIntosh is quite possibly the finest trial lawyer on the Gulf Coast"Mr. McIntosh is extremely professional, knowledgeable and tenacious in defending his clients. His will and drive are unmatched. He shows great compassion for his clients, and will work his tail off for you. His prices are more than reasonable for what you get in return. If you need assistance with any legal issues, don't hesitate to call Brett. Let him work for you. I did, and it's the best decision I could have made !- AVVO Reviewer

"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
