Bret worked very hard to get my dui offense reduced to a reckless driving offense making my terms of probation much simpler to complete! Bret Save me a lot of money, time and also the aggravation of losing my license for a year! Bret also made it so I could be off of probation as soon as I paid for my court costs which could be as soon as 30 days! Bret and his staff were there the whole time keeping me informed of the my situation through the whole process and did a excellent job representing me!

Two years ago I was charged with a felony and my lawyer and I agreed that a plea agreement was my best choice of action. Within the first year my lawyer died unexpectedly, two months before my first sentencing hearing. My family made numerous calls to lawyers in the Sarasota area and Brett McIntosh was recommended and took on my case. He is a very smart and knowledgeable attorney who was also easy to talk with. We discussed my situation at length and he explained every aspect of my case with me. He worked hard for a year through numerous postponements on my behalf and was able to get my sentence lowered. He is an excellent attorney who treated me like a person and not just a client. I made poor choices which led to my arrest and he believed in me and knew I was a good person. Thanks to him I will be able to get my life back on a positive track sooner than I hoped.

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.

I would like to extend my appreciation to Brett McIntosh, for being in his element, patience, and a great role model. His diligence, self-motivation as well as his dedication have been a source of inspiration and confidence to work toward my legal degree. Mr. McIntosh agreed to represent me and I am 5 counties away. I originally hired Mr. McIntosh on 8/05, after 6 months of dealing with an incompetent Public Defender. The first time I spoke to Mr. McIntosh, he request a profile and listened to my version of the event leading to the arrest. For 6 months I was number 11-2018-MM-XXXX, I was no longer a person or had a name. Within one weeks of hiring Mr. McIntosh, an offer was made. Mr. McIntosh educate and listen to all and any questions I may have. He never coerce and was patient. On 8/20, my first court appearance with Mr. McIntosh, he elaborately introduce me to the judge, “he made the judge see me”. The day before the hearing, the judge denied his order for continuance. While in court, he articulately had it overturn. Within one week of the court appearance, Mr. McIntosh had the charges dropped

My family originally hired Brett in 1999 for serious charges, state was offering 17 years. I will never forget the day when Mr. McIntosh asked me" would you like to take the states offer or should I prepare for trial"? Without hesitation I said, " prepare for trial", that's how much faith and trust i have in Brett. Mr. McIntosh and his dedicated staff put their heart and soul in my case (which took about 2 years) had a trial jury and won! I now have my own "statue" that people in my position can use in court. Brett is one of the best trial attorneys I have ever seen, he faught for me like I was his own daughter. Just recently ,2019, I found myself in a little bit of trouble my first instinct was to call Brett and without hesitation he was there for me and everything went in my favor. I personally have a special bond with Brett. God and Brett worked together and saved my life in 1999. This is the man to go to if you have any criminal charges. He will work for you like no other attorney will, he is highly respected and to be honest I think a lot of attorneys are afraid or maybe intimidated to go up against him. When you hire Brett and he tells you something and I know it's hard but just believe what he says because he's honest , upfront and to the point. He will always be my Attorney and I'm actually going to be working with him on something in a few months. Brett is a wonderful man, his staff is wonderful and are on every detail. This attorney, Brett McIntosh, is the best attorney from Charlotte to Manatee county. Good luck to everyone!

This was the second time I have used Brett McIntosh. The first time 3 days after I hired him, he was able to have my charges completely dropped. This recent time I was pulled over and charged with DUI. After reviewing the case he filed a motion to suppress the stop, claiming the police officer had no reason to pull me over. In court he was truly amazing. It was immediately obvious that he was in his element, and doing what he was born to do. The motion was won, the stop was thrown out. Once again I walk away with zero charges. In my opinion if you hire anyone but Brett McIntosh, you are throwing your money away.

Brett McIntosh was refereed to me by a friend of my family. He was able to get one of my charges dropped and the other changed to a misdemeanor. He explained everything to me and made me feel less worried about the outcome. He handled my whole case very well. He is one of the best around and you will be in very good hands with him on your side. Thank you Brett.

I would highly recommend Attorney Brett McIntosh, who serves Sarasota and Manatee Counties. A friend referred us to him, and he was able to charges reduced to a misdemeanor, and our case was handled very well. If it had not been, there would have been repercussions for many years for come. Mr. McIntosh is highly esteemed within the law community by his peers as well. He is a man of integrity and honesty, and his staff is excellent as well. You'll be in good hands, and well taken care of.

Brett was highly recommended from a good friend of mine. And I couldn't have been more happier with his service. He is hands down the best around and very professional.
