Child Custody

Hired Attorney Brett Schlender

Brett came into my life at the worst possible time, and I couldn’t have been more fortunate. He proved himself to be not only an expert in the law, but a genuinely good human being. I’m deeply grateful for his wise counsel, steady presence, and occasional comedic relief during an incredibly difficult chapter. He was my lawyer, but he became a trusted friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Brett to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate attorney.

Hired Attorney Brett Schlender

After being represented by other firms, a friend recommended contacting Brett. It was a great decision. Brett represented me for two separate custody issues, and I was very impressed with him and his team. Throughout the stressful time Brett kept calm and steady. He is not afraid to go the extra mile; he is down to earth and excellent at keeping you up to date throughout the process. It didn't feel like I was just a client, he truly had my family and I's best interest at heart the whole time. I would recommend Brett to anyone.

 
Divorce

Hired Attorney Brett Schlender

Brett was referred to me through a friend almost exactly a year ago when I had finally made the decision to file for a divorce. He was among a handful of family/divorce attorneys I had called, and he most definitely stood out. Over the course of my grueling divorce this past year, he was CONSISTENTLY available, pleasant, respectful, and, not only extremely knowledgeable in the law, but always willing to explain the aspects of the law to me in ways I could clearly understand. Divorce is tough, and he is an excellent balance of listening and understanding while keeping you focused, on track, and solution-based. Even the judge assigned to our case demonstrated his respect for Brett in the way he always relied on him to summarize the hearings, provide the drafts following, etc. It is most certainly worth mentioning his exceptional paralegal, who completes the perfect dynamic duo. I highly recommend!

Brett not only has a great amount of legal expertise, and handled my difficult divorce case really well, but also truly cared about me and my sons, and what we were going through, which I so appreciated.
