Look no further, this is your guy! I started my divorce process with a different lawyer. A month in, my wife hit me with domestic violence claims where I lost all access to my children for three months, it was horrific and terrifying. My lawyer at the time gave me no confidence she could beat the claims. Then I met Brett, right off the bat, he reviewed my case and instilled confidence that we could win. He immediately changed our defense strategy to a more streamlined, cost-effective approach and we won! Although it took 6 months to beat the DV, I went from not contact with my children and being painted as monster to 50/50 custody. Further, as we completed the DV, Brett stuck by me to finish out the rest of the process ensuring not only that we finalized 50/50 custody, but that I got to keep my house. Throughout the process, Brett's team was attentive, compassionate, and epithetic, I couldn't imagine where my life would be today without them.

In my case, my ex is extremely contentious... her side would have attorney drafted letters written on every little thing. Brett is no only patient, creative, but deals with opposing counsel with extreme professionalism. He knows when to "attack" and when to consolidate and cut your losses. If you want an attorney who is efficient, poignant, communicates so well that you always know where you're currently at in your case and where you need to be not only next, but 3 moves ahead, Brett is your guy. Do not hesitate, he's worth every penny and some.

In over a year of representation, battling an ex who had retained the most unethical and despicable counsel, all Brett did was get results. My ex tried to get full custody by falsely alleging domestic violence, twice. Brett won both hearings. When my ex then tried to eliminate my visitation by making up stories about our child's health, Brett actually managed to *increase* my visitation from almost nothing to almost 50/50. And now that my ex has come after my finances, Brett has discovered that they actually owe *me* tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, we didn't win every battle - and frankly, don't be naive and expect that you will. But we won the biggest battles, and we're winning the war. By the way, his staff is world class. I recommend Brett wholeheartedly and unreservedly.

As an analytical aerospace program manager, I can’t tell you how many attorneys I reviewed and interviewed to find this guy. After our first discussion I thought he must be to good to be true. After litigating a DV case for months with Brett, I can tell you he is the real deal and I couldn't be happier. Brett is always over prepared, professional, courteous and of course, the judges love him. In a matter of months, I have gone from no custody/visitation of my girls (not even a phone call) to 50/50 with Brett. If you are looking to turn the tables in your divorce, Brett is the guy that can make it happen.

After speaking to 3 different attorneys, I felt like I was hitting a wall because none of them felt like the right one to represent me. A friend of mine, who also had a favorable outcome with Brett Wishart and his office had recommended that I seek legal advice from him - she spoke very highly of Brett and his office. And I must say, first hand, Brett and his office exceeded my expectations - Brett is the Rolls-Royce of attorneys. Brett is truly passionate about what he does; he is immensely knowledgeable, even keeled, calm, efficient, compassionate, responsive, patient, has great listening skills, tenacity, and is such an honorable human being. And we all know people who are passionate about what they do perform better. Brett was able to take on my case and invested a stock of importance to it from the moment I retained him. Anyone whose gone through divorce and custody issues knows that this time is so sensitive and challenging and that is the more reason to select an attorney who will have a dramatic and positive impact - and Brett was able to accomplish that for my case. He advocated for me, and I am so blessed to have had him each step of the way. Thank you, Holly for being so helpful, professional and kind in assisting me with questions that I had - she also went above and beyond to answer my questions and I truly felt that I was in good hands every step of the way. I’m eternally blessed and grateful to have had Brett alongside such a hard time of my life.

I had been in a stalled divorce process for over 5 years when I hired the Wishart law firm to help expedite the process. Not only did this team quickly and efficiently bring this process to completion (even during the COVID pandemic), they also far exceeded my expectations as I was able to settle for much more than I expected. Brett Wishart was very strategic in his actions during the initial phase of the case. Heidi Frankel was then my primary contact during the completion of the case. She was well versed in the family court law and identified opportunities for me to succeed. She worked creatively and tirelessly and on my case, was intelligent in her approach to the issues and very assertive when representing me to opposing council. She thoroughly and respectfully presented arguments to the court. All of the paperwork was prepared without delay and sent to both the court and opposing council. I cannot speak highly enough of the entire law firm. Brett Wishart has assembled an amazing team of experts, who are intelligent, industrious, thorough and creative. I especially thank Ms Frankel for her strong representation of my case and Mr Wishart for his strategy.

If you need a family law attorney Brett is your guy, you're simply not going to find someone better. Brett, Heidi, Holly, and the rest of his team are all EXCELLENT communicators. They forward emails to you immediately so you are kept in the loop of communication, you'll know exactly what they're working on for you at all times. Aside from superb communication, Brett & Heidi are incredibly detailed, they will listen, internalize, and represent you the right way. Let me start by sharing this, my case on paper looked like a complete train-wreck and disaster. Brett quickly explained the process to me, and took my declaration, it was immediately prepared and to perfection. We responded grounded the other party so they can't leave the state with a toddler under the age of 2. From there things got worse as the other party continuously added more and more allegations along the way. Brett took his time to not only explain to me what the other party's intentions were when they take certain steps, the explained what we can do as a counter. Brett will reveal his warchest to you to let you know what actions he can take as your attorney. This is very important because this will allow you to prepare your evidence or find the right type of evidence to prove or defend any claims. In my case there were numerous false allegations against me, and due to proper guidance from Brett, I was able to find 1 piece of evidence after another to prove that the other party was simply just a liar. Brett and his team united me with my baby boy after the other party filed a false domestic violence order against me and stopped me from seeing my son for over 2 months during his most precious years. I am forever grateful for what his office has done to reunite us, and not only reunite us, we were able to settle for 50/50 custody time for a child under 2 years old, and I'm the father! Thank you Brett, Heidi, and Holly for everything you all have done.

Our family is pleased to recommend Brett Wishart to anyone looking for a family law attorney. (We were actually referred to him by another attorney's office, whose assistant told us in confidence that if she were going through a divorce, Brett Wishart would be her first choice.) We found Brett after 10 months of dealing with another attorney and her incompetent staff. Just 2 weeks before a very important court date, we were in a tight spot and Mr. Wishart came to the rescue. He even came in on the 4th of July weekend to meet with us!! Brett is caring, he's professional, and he's very good at weeding through the mess of a divorce. His first priority was to try to keep the costs down by avoiding a long drawn out court trial. He tried tirelessly to achieve this, while never willing to jeopardize a favorable outcome. Although this was not achieved, we are grateful to have been able to see Brett in action in the courtroom! He seemed to always be one step ahead of opposing counsel and also fully aware of what the judge was thinking. His knowledge of the law and the court system is invaluable. While we were very impressed with his courtroom presence, he also blew us away with his masterfully written arguments and responses. We are still waiting on the judge's ruling, but we feel confident that we had the best attorney money can buy, and we will be forever grateful for the heartfelt service he provided.

I would highly recommend Brett and his team!! They were so helpful in dealing with a custody case. His knowledge and professionalism shined in court!

It is with great pleasure that I write this review wholeheartedly recommending and endorsing Brett Wishart and his team to anyone in need of legal counsel in the area of family law. My case involved protecting my newborn son from his father and his immediate family involved with drugs. From the beginning, Brett devised effective strategies to ensure I would attain sole physical and legal custody. He was methodical in his thinking which always elicited a great deal of confidence within me. His kind and patient demeanor always put me at ease. Brett and his team always responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner. I was never in the dark and always kept informed of current and next steps in the process. His legal strategies ultimately kept me out of court(saving me money) and brought the case to resolution completely in my favor. I cannot thank Brett and his capable team (Heidi and Holly) enough for their expertise, professionalism, and care for myself and my son. I will forever be grateful!!

I recommend Brett Wishart and his staff without any hesitation in need of representation and/or advice in family law matters. Brett went above and beyond while representing me throughout several phases of my case. He pays very close attention to detail. He is very respectful, understanding, compassionate, and very important to me, responsive! Thankfully, I did not have to go to trial, but because Brett is quite confident and can articulate his client’s case we were able to settle. Although my case is over, I continue to turn to him for advice on certain matters, and he is still very responsive and most helpful.

The Law Offices of Brett R. Wishart assisted me during a very difficult and complicated legal proceeding. After having a terrible experience with a previous law firm, Brett and his staff handled my case efficiently and fairly. I was very pleased with the overall outcome and general guidance throughout the entire process. Brett and his entire team were easily accessible via both email and telephone communication. I would highlight The Law Offices of Brett R. Wishart to anyone in need of legal assistance.
