I highly recommend Brendan Barrett. He was outstanding throughout my case—professional, knowledgeable, and truly fought hard for me every step of the way. He kept me informed, answered all my questions, and made me feel supported during a very stressful time. What impressed me most was his dedication and determination to get the best possible outcome for my case. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and works tirelessly on their behalf. I’m extremely grateful for everything he did for me, and I would confidently recommend Brendan Barrett to anyone looking for a strong, trustworthy, and hardworking lawyer.

Brendan is the best. From the very beginning, I felt like I was in exactly the right hands. My situation was one of those where you suddenly find yourself dealing with something absolutely unexpected. It was completely outside my control, and I needed someone experienced to walk me through it. Brendan did exactly that, and the outcome couldn’t have been better. He guided me through every step of the process in a way that made me confident I was doing everything I should be doing. No confusion, no second-guessing. What really stood out was his deep knowledge of the inner workings of the local courts and how things actually play out in practice. That made a huge difference. Brendan is definitely on the more expensive side, but in my opinion, absolutely worth it. I highly recommend him, and he’s staying in my contacts for good.

Brendan Barrett is a phenomenal lawyer. I was facing jail time for a DUI, but he managed to get me probation instead. He guided me through every step of the process with extreme professionalism, all the way through getting my probation terminated and my record expunged. Highly recommend his services!

We will be eternally grateful for this and I can’t thank him enough.

Brendan Barrett is, without a doubt, the best lawyer out there. He literally saved my future. I’m in school, and a conviction would have destroyed my career before it even started. Thanks to Brendan’s dedication, sharp mind, and deep knowledge of the law, he got my first case dismissed on the very first court date. Before that was resolved, another case came up, and he immediately stepped in, guided me with clear “homework,” and kept me calm through it all. A month later, he got both cases dismissed on the same day. Brendan is sharp, confident, wise, and genuinely cares about his clients. His professionalism, intelligence, and compassion are unmatched. I’ll always call him if I ever need a lawyer again. Thank you Brendan for everything you did for me!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
