My fianc struggled to end a terrible divorce. His ex wanted everything and to give him nothing. He spent the first 2 1/2 years with a lawyer telling him just to give her everything and another taking every chance he could to bill him and all while keeping important information from him. This led to no resolution and only causing a very emotional and frustrating time for us.
I found Brett on Avvo and my fianc hired him immediately. 6 months later the divorce is done and my fianc got very close to what he wanted. Brett was straight forward, honest and kept on top of things. If I could give anyone advise going through a divorce, get a good lawyer! Save yourself the time, stress and emotional ride. Hire Brett! We are also confidant with the future dealing ms with his ex knowing Brett is a phone call away.

So when my divorce began I felt like my world was falling apart and I dreaded the idea of even shopping around for a divorce attorney. I'm one of those people that hates going to the doctor or the dentist, and finding an attorney felt like it was going to be just as painful. I spoke with quite a few attorney's before I found Brett Wishart. While there wasn't anything really wrong with any of the ones I found, I just wasn't feeling any confidence in the ones I spoke with. But when I spoke with Brett on the phone for the first time, I immediately felt at ease both in the way he made me feel like everything was going to be alright and confidence in his knowledge and experience. He made me feel like he really wanted to help me come out of this with my best interests in mind. I knew right away that he was going to take care of things as much as I needed him to. When I met him in person there was no doubt in my mind that he was the one that I wanted to handle my case.{para}He's always responsive whether I emailed him or called and he was even there for me during some pretty bad situations when I needed his guidance more than anything. Whenever I had questions, regardless of how simple or complex, he had the answers I needed and he was able to help me keep my head in a few moments where I wasn't sure how I was going to cope or get through it all. He and Holly were very thorough in making sure they knew everything that was going on and it made me feel like I had the best experts in the field at my back. Or in some instances leading the way.{para}If you are looking for someone that is going to take care of you and help you out, I would highly recommend Brett Wishart. I can't tell you enough how working with him helped me get through my divorce and not feeling like I was alone. If you are shopping around for help, then you should go no further. Brett Wishart is the only person that you need on your side.

Mr. Wishart’s team was wonderful to work with! As a Realtor, I recently assisted with the sale of property in a very difficult divorce case that Brett's team was handling. {para}I witnessed first hand his knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness and care for his client. Although the other party was unreasonable and volatile at times, even attempting multiple times to thwart the sale of the property and derail things, Mr. Wishart maintained composure and provided excellent guidance to his client throughout the entire process. {para}I was very impressed with the outcome and have already begun referring others to his firm. I hope to be able to assist Mr. Wishart and his team again with any real estate needs that arise! Thank you again, Brett & team!{para}~Nicole Pompey

Brett Wishart is helping my daughter with her divorce and I can rest assured that she is in good hands. Mr. Wishart is smart, professional, experienced, and strategic. He is always prepared, always focused on the case, and returns calls/emails promptly. {para}It is very very important to retain a experienced, savvy, and ethical, and trustworthy attorney during a divorce process, even more so because of my 1 year old granddaughter and 2 year old grandson. We are from a traditional Hindu family, and have no experience with divorce, but feel truly confident with Brett Wishart. He is understanding of the family/cultural values, thorough in his explanations of the law, and is a kind compassionate family man. Mr. Wishart is a true gentleman and you would be smart to retain him as soon as you know divorce is going to happen. Without a good attorney on your side, you will regret for years. We are fortunate to have Mr. Wishart helping us and would give him 10 stars if I could.

My daughter is going through a difficult divorce and has been hard for us all. She consulted with a few different attorneys, and as a family, Brett was the lawyer for us. He is very smart about the law. Many attorneys will steer you in different ways so they can possibly increase their fees, but Brett does not do that and is honest and ethical. More importantly, he is smart and savvy about law, legal procedures, negotiating, and courtroom etiquette.{para}He has also been very supportive to my daught

Brett is currently helping me with a messy/complicated divorce. I have 2 young children, both under 3 years old and I couldn't have found a better attorney for us. From the beginning, I felt like I could trust him immediately and have never regretted doing so. He will always tell you the truth about your case, even if it is something you don't want to hear. However, in any divorce; knowledge is power. Brett is knowledge. Not only is he an experienced family lawyer, he's great in courtrooms, which is where it really counts! {para}As an attorney, Brett is smart about everything related to a complicated divorce. There's no issue that Brett and Holly can't candle. Divorce is not easy, but I sleep better at night knowing that my case (and my children's future) are Brett Wishart's hands. Although my case is not yet closed/completed, I'm not worried at all. I know Brett will take care of me and the kids. The qualities and values that Brett have are not found in most individuals, regardless of profession.{para}I recommend Brett without hesitation. Brett and Holly are a strong team that you want on your side. You definitely don't want Brett on your ex-spouse's side. :)

I had originally retained different counsel for my divorce. After 4 months of no progress and poor communication with their office, i reached out to Brett. {para}Brett took my case and was very thorough explaining everything to me. Brett and Holly kept me up to date on the progress all the way through. I never once had to reach out to them for an update.{para}Brett is very knowledgeable and skillful at what he does. He pushed forward to move my case along. {para}I was ready to take my case to trial but

Brett represented me as the petitioner in a complicated divorce case. He is professional, upfront and honest. He didn't "sugar coat" anything and prepared me for the worse case, which I appreciated. Brett is knowledgeable and would explain things in layman's terms for my better understanding. My case turned out favorable and I believe this was due to Brett's expertise of the law and court system.

Going through divorce is hard. Going through it with a skilled and professional attorney is reassuring. Brett and his team did that for me. I would highly recommend him. You get what you pay for, and in the end it's worth it.
