Sarasota Criminal Defense Firm

"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.

"Professionalism, Confidence, and Expertise"

I had an outstanding experience working with McIntosh Law. They consistently demonstrated professionalism, confidence, and expertise while also remaining approachable and compassionate. Their ability to communicate complex legal matters in a clear and straightforward way made the entire process much less overwhelming. I greatly appreciated their patience and willingness to address all of my concerns, as well as the genuine care they showed for my situation. Brett McIntosh is an excellent advocate, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal representation.

"The Absolute Best"

After being arrested for something that I was not responsible for, I sought legal assistance. I met with several attorneys before deciding Mr. McIntosh was the best candidate. The circumstances of my arrest were very stressful for me. Mr. McIntosh expressed my need to be patient to let the case work out. He was always very courteous and professional, as was his co-counsel and legal secretary. My many phone calls and emails were promptly answered. My mind was set at ease many times when I contacted Mr. McIntosh to see how things were progressing, he made the situation much less stressful. I was very comfortable in trusting and believing in Mr. McIntosh and his legal advice. As my case progressed I was offered a plea by the state that I was not comfortable accepting, as I was not guilty of the charge against me. Mr. McIntosh was very forthcoming of what the consequences could be if we went to trial and it did not go my way. He also gave me the courage to believe that the truth is what I needed to stand by. We proceeded to trial, I was very scared but trusted Mr. McIntosh that the truth would come out. The charges were dropped before trial. I do not believe another attorney would have worked as diligently as he did to show the prosecutor what the facts were or to guide me to stand up for myself as he did. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I hope to never need the assistance of another attorney again, but in the event I did...he is the only attorney I would call.

"Best Criminal Defense Lawyer"

I was arrested for a DUI and POSSESSION FIREARM CONVICTED FELON. Mr. Brett was smooth and excellent from beginning to finish. He was compassionate, calming, and confident when delivering defense strategy during my initial consultation. He provided me with case updates when needed, and more importantly, a sense of reassurance throughout the entire process. And in dramatic fashion, Brett got us the best possible plea offer to avoid prison, keep me working and home with my family. I am beyond satisfied with the results; I consider his fee as a life-saving investment. The courtroom personnel treat him with a certain level of respect, and you get the sense as a client that you have hired the best possible lawyer.

"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
