Hired Attorney Mr. Brett Dressler

My daughter lived with a manageable illness, but suddenly passed away. I knew I had legal recourse however two law firms passed on my case. Then I was introduced to Brett Dresslerwhat a Godsend! I immediately trusted his word, believed in his abilities and felt I was in the best legal care. Mr. Dressler is a legal professional with integrity. He exhibits a great amount of courage in navigating the most sensitive and unconventional legal matters. I highly recommend him for cases large and small.

Hired Attorney Mr. Brett Dressler

Scared, confused, vulnerable and intimidated about the situation I was in and my rights, Mr. Dressler not only provided excellent legal assistance, but also was a confident advocate that allowed me to step away from the emotionally painful situation and rest easy that he was doing everything possible to provide my family the best possible outcome. I NEVER had to question whether more could be done or if he was doing his best. I am so grateful he represented my interests.

Hired Attorney Mr. Brett Dressler

I feel Brett really worked hard for my son. My son is a minor who was sicken due to no fault of his own. I feel as Brett fought for him as he was his own child. The communication was always there even if there was nothing to report. He really is someone who cares about fairness and not just the money.

Hired Attorney Mr. Brett Dressler

Lawyers like Mr. Brett Dressler are truly and exceptionally rare. My particular case was a long journey involving complex business matters. There were many unexpected twists and turns that required turn on a dime legal strategy and Brett always delivered "spot on" legal and personal counsel. As the plaintiff against "multiple" defendants counsels one might've thought that the decks were stacked against us, but I could not have asked for a steadier hand and legal representation.

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.
