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.

"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!!- AVVO Reviewer - Todd

"Brett gave me my life back"Brett came highly recommended to me by several other lawyers whom I hold in high regard. Brett was more than fair in his fees and he even charged me significantly less than the price we agreed on. He leveled with me on exactly what to expect each step of the way and never gave me false hope. Brett countered negotiations with the state to make a deal but I ultimately didn't feel comfortable accepting and Brett supported my decision. He told me what to expect if we went to trial and what the repercussions could be if things didn't go my way. I was terrified but continually reassured by those I know in the business that I had the right guy in my corner. I was also nervous at the notion of testifying but Brett gave me confidence to do so. On the day of trial Brett picked up on even the subtlest of inconsistencies and mounted an excellent defense on my behalf. Even up until the end of the trial, it seemed as if the verdict could go either way, but Brett's closing statements to the jury were incredibly compelling and ultimately landed a not guilty verdict. Brett isn't only a damn good lawyer, he's a damn good man and I am forever grateful for his services- AVVO Reviewer - Travis

"Highly competent Lawyers"Brett and Kevin are outstanding, diligent lawyers who work extremely hard on behalf of their clients. They were able to get my grandson's sentence reduced to a charge that was unbelievably fair and just. What he was facing was extremely serious, and I needed to find a very good lawyer to help him. I interviewed several lawyers before I picked them, because I felt they offered the most realistic approach and were willing to work hard for the best outcome possible. Over the last year, I was so impressed with their communication, honesty and directness along the way. They never over-promised anything but kept their communication down to earth and very real so I could understand what was happening as the days/months passed. I also can't say enough about their Paralegal, Joanne MacNicol, who is super accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly without fail. I highly recommend them and can't say enough positive about this group.- AVVO Reviewer - Carla

"Excellent in every way"
I have known Brett for over 7 hears. In addition to being a valuable contributor to society here in Sarasota, he has helped me personally (with a DUI) and more recently helped my son with legal challenges. Brett was able combine my son's charges and their restitution in a manageable way. He was able to prevent irreparable harm to his future. During two very stressful periods of our lives, he and his staff were courteous and always got back with us. Their help was invaluable.
