He cares and he would do whatever's is possible to help you

Bret is an excellent attorney. Fair, reasonable and a strait shooter.

Bret is great to work with. He is professional, trustworthy, straightforward, and effective. I highly recommend him for all criminal defense needs.

Brett is very professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He provided good advice and helped us out of a sticky situation. I highly recommend him for whatever legal situation you need help with, big or small. Having him in your corner means a win for you.

My husband is incarcerated and Vickie was appointed to help us. She did not advocate for him at all and lied to us in the mediation process to get him to accept the mediation. She emailed me the day before mediation and said she was fighting for him to keep his parental rights and for the children to come and live with me and then in the mediation she said I do not have standing and that his family did not "step up" so he needed to give up his parental rights. Vickie had my husband's sister's and grown daughter's contact information and both were willing to take the children yet she did not contact them. She did no investigation on his case, and she didn't even meet him until 5 minutes before mediation started though he was in Dallas for several days prior. She was rude to me and to my husband and completely unhelpful. If you get her as a court appointed attorney ask for another one! Maybe she actually helps the people who hire her, but she does nothing for people who cannot afford a lawyer.

I used Patrick McLain in 2009 to assist me in a military matter. He was very honest with me upfront as what to expect and was a no nonsense kind of person. I really enjoyed working with him and his paralegal. If I ever need another lawyer and Mr. McLain can handle the issue, he will be the first one I call.

I spoke with Mr. Bratton in regards to a mutual client. The staff and Mr. Bratton were on top of what needed to be done to get the clients bond set since it was a no bond on the warrant for arrest. Mr. Bratton even answered his phone after hours. Thank you, Sherry, Surety, Decatur, Texas
