Brendan was recommended to me by a very high profile attorney in the SJ area who already had a huge case load but said he highly suggested Brendan. After meeting with 3 separate attorneys, Brendan won my business. During our initial consultation, Brendan was very attentive and spent close to 40 minutes with me talking through my case (a minor misdemeanor). He set clear expectations that my charge was probably not going to be reduced, but that it was a possibility. His price/rate was very competitive and he seemed willing to negotiate price and provide a bit of wiggle room on a case by case basis which I found to be a very refreshing tactic in order to win his clients' business. During the course of my case/hearings, Brendan was very communicative via email (my preferred method of communication) and detailed what steps were being taken, updates on the case, and future court dates. At the conclusion of my case, my initial misdemeanor was reduced to an infraction and a $75 fine, which was a much better outcome than I expected. Even if Brendan had not been able to get the charge dropped, I would still highly recommend him, as I felt that he went above and beyond to pay attention to my relatively small charge, even though I know he had much larger cases in his case load.

I had a brief communication with Brendan and totally impressed with his responses. Since I already had experiences with couple of other attorneys, I felt that Brendan is a very honest person and he has helping nature in addition to his expertise. I will definitely work with him if I have any issues in the future.

Brenden is a man of great integrity and compassion. He is honest and forward. He gives the right advise and fights hard for his client. He is consistent and persistent in defending his clients. His quick responses to calls for help is extra ordinary. He has helped me in the most critical circumstances and has continued to provide assistance and sound advice with great care and kindness. He is indeed an exception in the legal profession.

BEST LAWYER EVER , AFFORDABLE AND A VERY NICE MAN . I was represented in court by Mr Brendan Barret as a hired attorney of my choice . He helped me get a lesser jail sentence as I needed to get out of jail as soon as possible , to be with my family and kids . He showed up at Elmwood Womens Jail in Milpitas California to discuss matters and then again when I requested he come to see me because we needed to talk . He did his job in the court , very nice man , always on time and most of all affordable . Please give him a call if in need of some help . And see what he can do for you . Best Lawyer Ever .

I consulted Mr. Barrett regarding a legal issue last week. I emailed and left him a message, and within the hour, he called me. He was very amiable, competent, professional, and to the point. In talking to him, I felt that he was someone I could trust --- he knows the law, he understands his client, and will be his best advocate. I highly recommend him.

In truth, this gentleman is a straight shooter. He is brutally honest, and will not take your money if he feels he cannot help you out. He gave me some marginal legal advice for free, even though I was willing to pay. Thanks to him I am able to view my case from a different perspective because he gave me some very good quick pointers. I would recommend Brendan to anyone who has the means to hire a quality private attorney. Thank you Brendan!

PART 2 In the end, after a whole week, we won the case. The case had a hung jury, 11 believed me innocent 1 believed me guilty. BRENDAN CONQUIRED THE COURT ROOM ON A COMPLICATED CASE!! ALSO THE D.A HE WAS UP AGAINST NEVER LOST A CASE BEFORE MINE!! The reason that this case was complicated was because pharmaceutical medications are not in court rooms as much as drugs and alcohol. Meaning that if your going to win a case like mine, it means alot of reading up and studying to find an angle to win the case. While giving a jury a crash course on the substance so they understand the lawyers and what the toxicologist is talking about. JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT BRENDAN IS EXTREMLY ITELLIGENT AS WELL. In the end, I kept my license, no crime on my record, and owed no money to the court. Just to Brendan who deserved every penny. 1/14 Earlier this January, I was driving back home in San Jose, CA on 680 around 10:00 PM. I was speeding and had a few drinks before I left. I was pulled over by CHP, did a sobriety test and breathalyzer and blew a 0.09, but when I went down to the police station, I blew a 0.07 and a 0.06 in the calibrated machine. But I still was giving a DUI just for alcohol this time. Same ordeal, night in jail, $300 impound fee. Guess who I called? Brendan was happy to hear from me, not happy about what happened, but like always was willing to help. I went to his office in downtown SJ. Same thing, he laid out the case on the table, told me his tactics, told me my chances, and told me my consequences. I walked out of his office, and felt like I had nothing to fear. A month later, Brendan gets the DUI case thrown out, saves my license. A month after, Brendan tells me that D.A was accepting his plea of wet and wreckless, which is way better than a DUI. It is a lower fine and hardly any classes or community service. But it gets better, Brendan is a well liked guy in his circles AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN FROM A DUI TO A PLAIN OLD WRECKLESS DRIVING. NO CLASSES, NO COMMUNITY SERVCE, JUST PAY THE COURT $1000. The best part was, I didn’t even take one step in a court room. I just lived my life and put it in Brendan hands and got the next best thing to having the whole thing dismissed. In the end, in my opinion, Brendan is the best choice for criminal defense. He is intelligent, professional, effective, and most of all re-assuring and friendly which is what you really need in a time of need. I don’t condone any of the things I did, but everyone makes mistakes and sometimes we need help dealing with those mistakes. FOR THOSE MISTAKES, BRENDAN BARRET IS YOU BEST CHOICE!!!! Thanks for everything Brendan. Keep up the good work. Your Friend and Client.

PART 1 If I could describe Brendan Barrett in 3 words they would be: Professional, Confident, and Effective. Brendan is hands down, the text book example of an AMAZING lawyer. Brendan lays everything out on the table for you from the beginning, explains his tactics and executes them flawlessly throughout the case. During a criminal case, this is the kind of lawyer that will help you sleep at night and help you know you are in the best hands for criminal defense. But please don’t take my word for it, let me tell you about my 2 cases I hired Brendan for and you make your decision. 11/2010 I was 20 years old fresh out of college. I just graduated for hospitality management and was taking my first dip in the wonderful world of restaurant management. Growing up I had major depression and anxiety issues and was prescribed a number of drugs throughout the years. But one that really stuck with me was Ativan which is a benzodiazepine just like Xanax. I had been taking a dose of 2 mg 3 times a day for 6 years. I was totally functional on it, without question. On my way up to San Mateo one evening on my second week to work, I wasn’t paying attention and I missed the exit I was supposed to take. At the time I had pretty basic blackberry and no knowledge of how to get around San Mateo. I was driving trying to figure out where I was going while looking at my phone and I end up side swiping 3 cars parked in a small neighborhood on the side of the street. A couple people saw me and I did the responsible thing and called the police to have them take my insurance down. At this point I was on the edge of a panic attack by time the cops showed up. When they finally showed up I was in panic, apologizing, and asking for help. They began to ask me the typical cop questions, have you been drinking? Doing drugs? Ect. I hadn’t so I said “no”. They breathalized me 3 times, blew 0.00 each time, made me do sobriety tests, which they said I failed. They went through my car and found my medication. They asked how many I took, I told them I took my daily dosage. They quickly handcuffed me and gave me a DUI under the influence of my prescribed medication I had been taking for 6 years. After a night in jail and a $300 impound ticket I immediately began looking around for lawyers, I was so scared and stressed to the point I just wanted to sleep all day and try to forget about reality. I lost my job and feared of what else I was going to loose from the DUI. I got in touch with a call center who assigns a lawyers to clients, and Brendan was my man. Brendan laid everything out on the table. What the case looked like, what his tactics were going to be, what chances I had, and what the consequences could be in the end. I felt extremely better after hiring Brendan, like the weight just came off my shoulders. Almost a year later we finally went to trial. During that year Brendan had my DUI case dismissed which was a huge deal to me, because my license was at stake. When we finally showed up the criminal trial, the D.A wanted to meet us with a plea of wet and wreck less, which was a lot better than a D.U.I but in California they will take away you license for a being under 21 with a wet and wreck less. Brendan gave me my options and we decided to go to trial. The trial lasted a whole week, and had a full jury, witnesses, toxicologist, the works. Brendan, picked out a good jury, hired a AMAZING toxicologist who basically wrote the book on Alcohol and Drug Detection in California, called great witnesses, poked amazing holes in the D.A and the Cops who arrested me. And even had me go on the stand and testify myself, which was a bold move on both our parts, but Brendan gave me the confidence to battle the D.A and protected me while I was on the stand.

Brendan picked up my call when I needed legal help. That alone was a lot of assurance and kept me going forward. Throughout the 3 to 4 months process, Brendan kept assuring me that my case will be resolved positively and it was. I highly recommend Brendan to represent you. You will definitely want him on your side!

After meeting with 3 separate attorneys, Brendan won my business. During our initial consultation, Brendan was very attentive and spent close to 40 minutes with me talking through my case (a minor misdemeanor). He set clear expectations that my charge was probably not going to be reduced, but that it was a possibility. His price/rate was very competitive and he seemed willing to negotiate price and provide a bit of wiggle room on a case by case basis which I found to be a very refreshing tactic in order to win his clients' business. During the course of my case/hearings, Brendan was very communicative via email (my preferred method of communication) and detailed what steps were being taken, updates on the case, and future court dates. At the conclusion of my case, my initial misdemeanor was reduced to an infraction and a $75 fine, which was a much better outcome than I expected. Even if Brendan had not been able to get the charge dropped, I would still highly recommend him, as I felt that he went above and beyond to pay attention to my relatively small charge, even though I know he had much larger cases in his case load.

I had a brief communication with Brendan and totally impressed with his responses. Since I already had experiences with couple of other attorneys, I felt that Brendan is a very honest person and he has helping nature in addition to his expertise. I will definitely work with him if I have any issues in the future.

Brenden is a man of great integrity and compassion. He is honest and forward. He gives the right advise and fights hard for his client. He is consistent and persistent in defending his clients. His quick responses to calls for help is extra ordinary. He has helped me in the most critical circumstances and has continued to provide assistance and sound advice with great care and kindness. He is indeed an exception in the legal profession.

I consulted Mr. Barrett regarding a legal issue last week. I emailed and left him a message, and within the hour, he called me. He was very amiable, competent, professional, and to the point. In talking to him, I felt that he was someone I could trust --- he knows the law, he understands his client, and will be his best advocate. I highly recommend him.

In truth, this gentleman is a straight shooter. He is brutally honest, and will not take your money if he feels he cannot help you out. He gave me some marginal legal advice for free, even though I was willing to pay. Thanks to him I am able to view my case from a different perspective because he gave me some very good quick pointers. I would recommend Brendan to anyone who has the means to hire a quality private attorney. Thank you Brendan!

PART 2 In the end, after a whole week, we won the case. The case had a hung jury, 11 believed me innocent 1 believed me guilty. BRENDAN CONQUIRED THE COURT ROOM ON A COMPLICATED CASE!! ALSO THE D.A HE WAS UP AGAINST NEVER LOST A CASE BEFORE MINE!! The reason that this case was complicated was because pharmaceutical medications are not in court rooms as much as drugs and alcohol. Meaning that if your going to win a case like mine, it means alot of reading up and studying to find an angle to win the case. While giving a jury a crash course on the substance so they understand the lawyers and what the toxicologist is talking about. JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT BRENDAN IS EXTREMLY ITELLIGENT AS WELL. In the end, I kept my license, no crime on my record, and owed no money to the court. Just to Brendan who deserved every penny. 1/14 Earlier this January, I was driving back home in San Jose, CA on 680 around 10:00 PM. I was speeding and had a few drinks before I left. I was pulled over by CHP, did a sobriety test and breathalyzer and blew a 0.09, but when I went down to the police station, I blew a 0.07 and a 0.06 in the calibrated machine. But I still was giving a DUI just for alcohol this time. Same ordeal, night in jail, $300 impound fee. Guess who I called? Brendan was happy to hear from me, not happy about what happened, but like always was willing to help. I went to his office in downtown SJ. Same thing, he laid out the case on the table, told me his tactics, told me my chances, and told me my consequences. I walked out of his office, and felt like I had nothing to fear. A month later, Brendan gets the DUI case thrown out, saves my license. A month after, Brendan tells me that D.A was accepting his plea of wet and wreckless, which is way better than a DUI. It is a lower fine and hardly any classes or community service. But it gets better, Brendan is a well liked guy in his circles AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN FROM A DUI TO A PLAIN OLD WRECKLESS DRIVING. NO CLASSES, NO COMMUNITY SERVCE, JUST PAY THE COURT $1000. The best part was, I didn’t even take one step in a court room. I just lived my life and put it in Brendan hands and got the next best thing to having the whole thing dismissed. In the end, in my opinion, Brendan is the best choice for criminal defense. He is intelligent, professional, effective, and most of all re-assuring and friendly which is what you really need in a time of need. I don’t condone any of the things I did, but everyone makes mistakes and sometimes we need help dealing with those mistakes. FOR THOSE MISTAKES, BRENDAN BARRET IS YOU BEST CHOICE!!!! Thanks for everything Brendan. Keep up the good work. Your Friend and Client.

PART 1 If I could describe Brendan Barrett in 3 words they would be: Professional, Confident, and Effective. Brendan is hands down, the text book example of an AMAZING lawyer. Brendan lays everything out on the table for you from the beginning, explains his tactics and executes them flawlessly throughout the case. During a criminal case, this is the kind of lawyer that will help you sleep at night and help you know you are in the best hands for criminal defense. But please don’t take my word for it, let me tell you about my 2 cases I hired Brendan for and you make your decision. 11/2010 I was 20 years old fresh out of college. I just graduated for hospitality management and was taking my first dip in the wonderful world of restaurant management. Growing up I had major depression and anxiety issues and was prescribed a number of drugs throughout the years. But one that really stuck with me was Ativan which is a benzodiazepine just like Xanax. I had been taking a dose of 2 mg 3 times a day for 6 years. I was totally functional on it, without question. On my way up to San Mateo one evening on my second week to work, I wasn’t paying attention and I missed the exit I was supposed to take. At the time I had pretty basic blackberry and no knowledge of how to get around San Mateo. I was driving trying to figure out where I was going while looking at my phone and I end up side swiping 3 cars parked in a small neighborhood on the side of the street. A couple people saw me and I did the responsible thing and called the police to have them take my insurance down. At this point I was on the edge of a panic attack by time the cops showed up. When they finally showed up I was in panic, apologizing, and asking for help. They began to ask me the typical cop questions, have you been drinking? Doing drugs? Ect. I hadn’t so I said “no”. They breathalized me 3 times, blew 0.00 each time, made me do sobriety tests, which they said I failed. They went through my car and found my medication. They asked how many I took, I told them I took my daily dosage. They quickly handcuffed me and gave me a DUI under the influence of my prescribed medication I had been taking for 6 years. After a night in jail and a $300 impound ticket I immediately began looking around for lawyers, I was so scared and stressed to the point I just wanted to sleep all day and try to forget about reality. I lost my job and feared of what else I was going to loose from the DUI. I got in touch with a call center who assigns a lawyers to clients, and Brendan was my man. Brendan laid everything out on the table. What the case looked like, what his tactics were going to be, what chances I had, and what the consequences could be in the end. I felt extremely better after hiring Brendan, like the weight just came off my shoulders. Almost a year later we finally went to trial. During that year Brendan had my DUI case dismissed which was a huge deal to me, because my license was at stake. When we finally showed up the criminal trial, the D.A wanted to meet us with a plea of wet and wreck less, which was a lot better than a D.U.I but in California they will take away you license for a being under 21 with a wet and wreck less. Brendan gave me my options and we decided to go to trial. The trial lasted a whole week, and had a full jury, witnesses, toxicologist, the works. Brendan, picked out a good jury, hired a AMAZING toxicologist who basically wrote the book on Alcohol and Drug Detection in California, called great witnesses, poked amazing holes in the D.A and the Cops who arrested me. And even had me go on the stand and testify myself, which was a bold move on both our parts, but Brendan gave me the confidence to battle the D.A and protected me while I was on the stand.

Brendan picked up my call when I needed legal help. That alone was a lot of assurance and kept me going forward. Throughout the 3 to 4 months process, Brendan kept assuring me that my case will be resolved positively and it was. I highly recommend Brendan to represent you. You will definitely want him on your side!

Even if Brendan had not been able to get the charge dropped, I would still highly recommend him, as I felt that he went above and beyond to pay attention to my relatively small charge, even though I know he had much larger cases in his case load.

I had a brief communication with Brendan and totally impressed with his responses. Since I already had experiences with couple of other attorneys, I felt that Brendan is a very honest person and he has helping nature in addition to his expertise. I will definitely work with him if I have any issues in the future.

Brenden is a man of great integrity and compassion. He is honest and forward. He gives the right advise and fights hard for his client. He is consistent and persistent in defending his clients. His quick responses to calls for help is extra ordinary. He has helped me in the most critical circumstances and has continued to provide assistance and sound advice with great care and kindness. He is indeed an exception in the legal profession.

I consulted Mr. Barrett regarding a legal issue last week. I emailed and left him a message, and within the hour, he called me. He was very amiable, competent, professional, and to the point. In talking to him, I felt that he was someone I could trust --- he knows the law, he understands his client, and will be his best advocate. I highly recommend him.

In truth, this gentleman is a straight shooter. He is brutally honest, and will not take your money if he feels he cannot help you out. He gave me some marginal legal advice for free, even though I was willing to pay. Thanks to him I am able to view my case from a different perspective because he gave me some very good quick pointers. I would recommend Brendan to anyone who has the means to hire a quality private attorney. Thank you Brendan!

PART 2 In the end, after a whole week, we won the case. The case had a hung jury, 11 believed me innocent 1 believed me guilty. BRENDAN CONQUIRED THE COURT ROOM ON A COMPLICATED CASE!! ALSO THE D.A HE WAS UP AGAINST NEVER LOST A CASE BEFORE MINE!! The reason that this case was complicated was because pharmaceutical medications are not in court rooms as much as drugs and alcohol. Meaning that if your going to win a case like mine, it means alot of reading up and studying to find an angle to win the case. While giving a jury a crash course on the substance so they understand the lawyers and what the toxicologist is talking about. JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT BRENDAN IS EXTREMLY ITELLIGENT AS WELL. In the end, I kept my license, no crime on my record, and owed no money to the court. Just to Brendan who deserved every penny. 1/14 Earlier this January, I was driving back home in San Jose, CA on 680 around 10:00 PM. I was speeding and had a few drinks before I left. I was pulled over by CHP, did a sobriety test and breathalyzer and blew a 0.09, but when I went down to the police station, I blew a 0.07 and a 0.06 in the calibrated machine. But I still was giving a DUI just for alcohol this time. Same ordeal, night in jail, $300 impound fee. Guess who I called? Brendan was happy to hear from me, not happy about what happened, but like always was willing to help. I went to his office in downtown SJ. Same thing, he laid out the case on the table, told me his tactics, told me my chances, and told me my consequences. I walked out of his office, and felt like I had nothing to fear. A month later, Brendan gets the DUI case thrown out, saves my license. A month after, Brendan tells me that D.A was accepting his plea of wet and wreckless, which is way better than a DUI. It is a lower fine and hardly any classes or community service. But it gets better, Brendan is a well liked guy in his circles AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN FROM A DUI TO A PLAIN OLD WRECKLESS DRIVING. NO CLASSES, NO COMMUNITY SERVCE, JUST PAY THE COURT $1000. The best part was, I didn’t even take one step in a court room. I just lived my life and put it in Brendan hands and got the next best thing to having the whole thing dismissed. In the end, in my opinion, Brendan is the best choice for criminal defense. He is intelligent, professional, effective, and most of all re-assuring and friendly which is what you really need in a time of need. I don’t condone any of the things I did, but everyone makes mistakes and sometimes we need help dealing with those mistakes. FOR THOSE MISTAKES, BRENDAN BARRET IS YOU BEST CHOICE!!!! Thanks for everything Brendan. Keep up the good work. Your Friend and Client.

PART 1 If I could describe Brendan Barrett in 3 words they would be: Professional, Confident, and Effective. Brendan is hands down, the text book example of an AMAZING lawyer. Brendan lays everything out on the table for you from the beginning, explains his tactics and executes them flawlessly throughout the case. During a criminal case, this is the kind of lawyer that will help you sleep at night and help you know you are in the best hands for criminal defense. But please don’t take my word for it, let me tell you about my 2 cases I hired Brendan for and you make your decision. 11/2010 I was 20 years old fresh out of college. I just graduated for hospitality management and was taking my first dip in the wonderful world of restaurant management. Growing up I had major depression and anxiety issues and was prescribed a number of drugs throughout the years. But one that really stuck with me was Ativan which is a benzodiazepine just like Xanax. I had been taking a dose of 2 mg 3 times a day for 6 years. I was totally functional on it, without question. On my way up to San Mateo one evening on my second week to work, I wasn’t paying attention and I missed the exit I was supposed to take. At the time I had pretty basic blackberry and no knowledge of how to get around San Mateo. I was driving trying to figure out where I was going while looking at my phone and I end up side swiping 3 cars parked in a small neighborhood on the side of the street. A couple people saw me and I did the responsible thing and called the police to have them take my insurance down. At this point I was on the edge of a panic attack by time the cops showed up. When they finally showed up I was in panic, apologizing, and asking for help. They began to ask me the typical cop questions, have you been drinking? Doing drugs? Ect. I hadn’t so I said “no”. They breathalized me 3 times, blew 0.00 each time, made me do sobriety tests, which they said I failed. They went through my car and found my medication. They asked how many I took, I told them I took my daily dosage. They quickly handcuffed me and gave me a DUI under the influence of my prescribed medication I had been taking for 6 years. After a night in jail and a $300 impound ticket I immediately began looking around for lawyers, I was so scared and stressed to the point I just wanted to sleep all day and try to forget about reality. I lost my job and feared of what else I was going to loose from the DUI. I got in touch with a call center who assigns a lawyers to clients, and Brendan was my man. Brendan laid everything out on the table. What the case looked like, what his tactics were going to be, what chances I had, and what the consequences could be in the end. I felt extremely better after hiring Brendan, like the weight just came off my shoulders. Almost a year later we finally went to trial. During that year Brendan had my DUI case dismissed which was a huge deal to me, because my license was at stake. When we finally showed up the criminal trial, the D.A wanted to meet us with a plea of wet and wreck less, which was a lot better than a D.U.I but in California they will take away you license for a being under 21 with a wet and wreck less. Brendan gave me my options and we decided to go to trial. The trial lasted a whole week, and had a full jury, witnesses, toxicologist, the works. Brendan, picked out a good jury, hired a AMAZING toxicologist who basically wrote the book on Alcohol and Drug Detection in California, called great witnesses, poked amazing holes in the D.A and the Cops who arrested me. And even had me go on the stand and testify myself, which was a bold move on both our parts, but Brendan gave me the confidence to battle the D.A and protected me while I was on the stand.

Brendan picked up my call when I needed legal help. That alone was a lot of assurance and kept me going forward. Throughout the 3 to 4 months process, Brendan kept assuring me that my case will be resolved positively and it was. I highly recommend Brendan to represent you. You will definitely want him on your side!

Brendan was recommended to me by a very high profile attorney in the SJ area who already had a huge case load but said he highly suggested Brendan. After meeting with 3 separate attorneys, Brendan won my business. During our initial consultation, Brendan was very attentive and spent close to 40 minutes with me talking through my case (a minor misdemeanor). He set clear expectations that my charge was probably not going to be reduced, but that it was a possibility. His price/rate was very competitive and he seemed willing to negotiate price and provide a bit of wiggle room on a case by case basis which I found to be a very refreshing tactic in order to win his clients' business. During the course of my case/hearings, Brendan was very communicative via email (my preferred method of communication) and detailed what steps were being taken, updates on the case, and future court dates. At the conclusion of my case, my initial misdemeanor was reduced to an infraction and a $75 fine, which was a much better outcome than I expected.

Since I already had experiences with couple of other attorneys, I felt that Brendan is a very honest person and he has helping nature in addition to his expertise. I will definitely work with him if I have any issues in the future.

Brenden is a man of great integrity and compassion. He is honest and forward. He gives the right advise and fights hard for his client. He is consistent and persistent in defending his clients. His quick responses to calls for help is extra ordinary. He has helped me in the most critical circumstances and has continued to provide assistance and sound advice with great care and kindness. He is indeed an exception in the legal profession.

I consulted Mr. Barrett regarding a legal issue last week. I emailed and left him a message, and within the hour, he called me. He was very amiable, competent, professional, and to the point. In talking to him, I felt that he was someone I could trust --- he knows the law, he understands his client, and will be his best advocate. I highly recommend him.

In truth, this gentleman is a straight shooter. He is brutally honest, and will not take your money if he feels he cannot help you out. He gave me some marginal legal advice for free, even though I was willing to pay. Thanks to him I am able to view my case from a different perspective because he gave me some very good quick pointers. I would recommend Brendan to anyone who has the means to hire a quality private attorney. Thank you Brendan!

PART 2 In the end, after a whole week, we won the case. The case had a hung jury, 11 believed me innocent 1 believed me guilty. BRENDAN CONQUIRED THE COURT ROOM ON A COMPLICATED CASE!! ALSO THE D.A HE WAS UP AGAINST NEVER LOST A CASE BEFORE MINE!! The reason that this case was complicated was because pharmaceutical medications are not in court rooms as much as drugs and alcohol. Meaning that if your going to win a case like mine, it means alot of reading up and studying to find an angle to win the case. While giving a jury a crash course on the substance so they understand the lawyers and what the toxicologist is talking about. JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT BRENDAN IS EXTREMLY ITELLIGENT AS WELL. In the end, I kept my license, no crime on my record, and owed no money to the court. Just to Brendan who deserved every penny. 1/14 Earlier this January, I was driving back home in San Jose, CA on 680 around 10:00 PM. I was speeding and had a few drinks before I left. I was pulled over by CHP, did a sobriety test and breathalyzer and blew a 0.09, but when I went down to the police station, I blew a 0.07 and a 0.06 in the calibrated machine. But I still was giving a DUI just for alcohol this time. Same ordeal, night in jail, $300 impound fee. Guess who I called? Brendan was happy to hear from me, not happy about what happened, but like always was willing to help. I went to his office in downtown SJ. Same thing, he laid out the case on the table, told me his tactics, told me my chances, and told me my consequences. I walked out of his office, and felt like I had nothing to fear. A month later, Brendan gets the DUI case thrown out, saves my license. A month after, Brendan tells me that D.A was accepting his plea of wet and wreckless, which is way better than a DUI. It is a lower fine and hardly any classes or community service. But it gets better, Brendan is a well liked guy in his circles AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN FROM A DUI TO A PLAIN OLD WRECKLESS DRIVING. NO CLASSES, NO COMMUNITY SERVCE, JUST PAY THE COURT $1000. The best part was, I didn’t even take one step in a court room. I just lived my life and put it in Brendan hands and got the next best thing to having the whole thing dismissed. In the end, in my opinion, Brendan is the best choice for criminal defense. He is intelligent, professional, effective, and most of all re-assuring and friendly which is what you really need in a time of need. I don’t condone any of the things I did, but everyone makes mistakes and sometimes we need help dealing with those mistakes. FOR THOSE MISTAKES, BRENDAN BARRET IS YOU BEST CHOICE!!!! Thanks for everything Brendan. Keep up the good work. Your Friend and Client.

PART 1 If I could describe Brendan Barrett in 3 words they would be: Professional, Confident, and Effective. Brendan is hands down, the text book example of an AMAZING lawyer. Brendan lays everything out on the table for you from the beginning, explains his tactics and executes them flawlessly throughout the case. During a criminal case, this is the kind of lawyer that will help you sleep at night and help you know you are in the best hands for criminal defense. But please don’t take my word for it, let me tell you about my 2 cases I hired Brendan for and you make your decision. 11/2010 I was 20 years old fresh out of college. I just graduated for hospitality management and was taking my first dip in the wonderful world of restaurant management. Growing up I had major depression and anxiety issues and was prescribed a number of drugs throughout the years. But one that really stuck with me was Ativan which is a benzodiazepine just like Xanax. I had been taking a dose of 2 mg 3 times a day for 6 years. I was totally functional on it, without question. On my way up to San Mateo one evening on my second week to work, I wasn’t paying attention and I missed the exit I was supposed to take. At the time I had pretty basic blackberry and no knowledge of how to get around San Mateo. I was driving trying to figure out where I was going while looking at my phone and I end up side swiping 3 cars parked in a small neighborhood on the side of the street. A couple people saw me and I did the responsible thing and called the police to have them take my insurance down. At this point I was on the edge of a panic attack by time the cops showed up. When they finally showed up I was in panic, apologizing, and asking for help. They began to ask me the typical cop questions, have you been drinking? Doing drugs? Ect. I hadn’t so I said “no”. They breathalized me 3 times, blew 0.00 each time, made me do sobriety tests, which they said I failed. They went through my car and found my medication. They asked how many I took, I told them I took my daily dosage. They quickly handcuffed me and gave me a DUI under the influence of my prescribed medication I had been taking for 6 years. After a night in jail and a $300 impound ticket I immediately began looking around for lawyers, I was so scared and stressed to the point I just wanted to sleep all day and try to forget about reality. I lost my job and feared of what else I was going to loose from the DUI. I got in touch with a call center who assigns a lawyers to clients, and Brendan was my man. Brendan laid everything out on the table. What the case looked like, what his tactics were going to be, what chances I had, and what the consequences could be in the end. I felt extremely better after hiring Brendan, like the weight just came off my shoulders. Almost a year later we finally went to trial. During that year Brendan had my DUI case dismissed which was a huge deal to me, because my license was at stake. When we finally showed up the criminal trial, the D.A wanted to meet us with a plea of wet and wreck less, which was a lot better than a D.U.I but in California they will take away you license for a being under 21 with a wet and wreck less. Brendan gave me my options and we decided to go to trial. The trial lasted a whole week, and had a full jury, witnesses, toxicologist, the works. Brendan, picked out a good jury, hired a AMAZING toxicologist who basically wrote the book on Alcohol and Drug Detection in California, called great witnesses, poked amazing holes in the D.A and the Cops who arrested me. And even had me go on the stand and testify myself, which was a bold move on both our parts, but Brendan gave me the confidence to battle the D.A and protected me while I was on the stand.

Brendan picked up my call when I needed legal help. That alone was a lot of assurance and kept me going forward. Throughout the 3 to 4 months process, Brendan kept assuring me that my case will be resolved positively and it was. I highly recommend Brendan to represent you. You will definitely want him on your side!

Brendan was recommended to me by a very high profile attorney in the SJ area who already had a huge case load but said he highly suggested Brendan. After meeting with 3 separate attorneys, Brendan won my business. During our initial consultation, Brendan was very attentive and spent close to 40 minutes with me talking through my case (a minor misdemeanor). He set clear expectations that my charge was probably not going to be reduced, but that it was a possibility. His price/rate was very competitive and he seemed willing to negotiate price and provide a bit of wiggle room on a case by case basis which I found to be a very refreshing tactic in order to win his clients' business. During the course of my case/hearings, Brendan was very communicative via email (my preferred method of communication) and detailed what steps were being taken, updates on the case, and future court dates. At the conclusion of my case, my initial misdemeanor was reduced to an infraction and a $75 fine, which was a much better outcome than I expected. Even if Brendan had not been able to get the charge dropped, I would still highly recommend him, as I felt that he went above and beyond to pay attention to my relatively small charge, even though I know he had much larger cases in his case load.

I consulted Mr. Barrett regarding a legal issue last week. I emailed and left him a message, and within the hour, he called me. He was very amiable, competent, professional, and to the point. In talking to him, I felt that he was someone I could trust --- he knows the law, he understands his client, and will be his best advocate. I highly recommend him.

In truth, this gentleman is a straight shooter. He is brutally honest, and will not take your money if he feels he cannot help you out. He gave me some marginal legal advice for free, even though I was willing to pay. Thanks to him I am able to view my case from a different perspective because he gave me some very good quick pointers. I would recommend Brendan to anyone who has the means to hire a quality private attorney. Thank you Brendan!

PART 2 In the end, after a whole week, we won the case. The case had a hung jury, 11 believed me innocent 1 believed me guilty. BRENDAN CONQUIRED THE COURT ROOM ON A COMPLICATED CASE!! ALSO THE D.A HE WAS UP AGAINST NEVER LOST A CASE BEFORE MINE!! The reason that this case was complicated was because pharmaceutical medications are not in court rooms as much as drugs and alcohol. Meaning that if your going to win a case like mine, it means alot of reading up and studying to find an angle to win the case. While giving a jury a crash course on the substance so they understand the lawyers and what the toxicologist is talking about. JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT BRENDAN IS EXTREMLY ITELLIGENT AS WELL. In the end, I kept my license, no crime on my record, and owed no money to the court. Just to Brendan who deserved every penny. 1/14 Earlier this January, I was driving back home in San Jose, CA on 680 around 10:00 PM. I was speeding and had a few drinks before I left. I was pulled over by CHP, did a sobriety test and breathalyzer and blew a 0.09, but when I went down to the police station, I blew a 0.07 and a 0.06 in the calibrated machine. But I still was giving a DUI just for alcohol this time. Same ordeal, night in jail, $300 impound fee. Guess who I called? Brendan was happy to hear from me, not happy about what happened, but like always was willing to help. I went to his office in downtown SJ. Same thing, he laid out the case on the table, told me his tactics, told me my chances, and told me my consequences. I walked out of his office, and felt like I had nothing to fear. A month later, Brendan gets the DUI case thrown out, saves my license. A month after, Brendan tells me that D.A was accepting his plea of wet and wreckless, which is way better than a DUI. It is a lower fine and hardly any classes or community service. But it gets better, Brendan is a well liked guy in his circles AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN FROM A DUI TO A PLAIN OLD WRECKLESS DRIVING. NO CLASSES, NO COMMUNITY SERVCE, JUST PAY THE COURT $1000. The best part was, I didn’t even take one step in a court room. I just lived my life and put it in Brendan hands and got the next best thing to having the whole thing dismissed. In the end, in my opinion, Brendan is the best choice for criminal defense. He is intelligent, professional, effective, and most of all re-assuring and friendly which is what you really need in a time of need. I don’t condone any of the things I did, but everyone makes mistakes and sometimes we need help dealing with those mistakes. FOR THOSE MISTAKES, BRENDAN BARRET IS YOU BEST CHOICE!!!! Thanks for everything Brendan. Keep up the good work. Your Friend and Client.

PART 1 If I could describe Brendan Barrett in 3 words they would be: Professional, Confident, and Effective. Brendan is hands down, the text book example of an AMAZING lawyer. Brendan lays everything out on the table for you from the beginning, explains his tactics and executes them flawlessly throughout the case. During a criminal case, this is the kind of lawyer that will help you sleep at night and help you know you are in the best hands for criminal defense. But please don’t take my word for it, let me tell you about my 2 cases I hired Brendan for and you make your decision. 11/2010 I was 20 years old fresh out of college. I just graduated for hospitality management and was taking my first dip in the wonderful world of restaurant management. Growing up I had major depression and anxiety issues and was prescribed a number of drugs throughout the years. But one that really stuck with me was Ativan which is a benzodiazepine just like Xanax. I had been taking a dose of 2 mg 3 times a day for 6 years. I was totally functional on it, without question. On my way up to San Mateo one evening on my second week to work, I wasn’t paying attention and I missed the exit I was supposed to take. At the time I had pretty basic blackberry and no knowledge of how to get around San Mateo. I was driving trying to figure out where I was going while looking at my phone and I end up side swiping 3 cars parked in a small neighborhood on the side of the street. A couple people saw me and I did the responsible thing and called the police to have them take my insurance down. At this point I was on the edge of a panic attack by time the cops showed up. When they finally showed up I was in panic, apologizing, and asking for help. They began to ask me the typical cop questions, have you been drinking? Doing drugs? Ect. I hadn’t so I said “no”. They breathalized me 3 times, blew 0.00 each time, made me do sobriety tests, which they said I failed. They went through my car and found my medication. They asked how many I took, I told them I took my daily dosage. They quickly handcuffed me and gave me a DUI under the influence of my prescribed medication I had been taking for 6 years. After a night in jail and a $300 impound ticket I immediately began looking around for lawyers, I was so scared and stressed to the point I just wanted to sleep all day and try to forget about reality. I lost my job and feared of what else I was going to loose from the DUI. I got in touch with a call center who assigns a lawyers to clients, and Brendan was my man. Brendan laid everything out on the table. What the case looked like, what his tactics were going to be, what chances I had, and what the consequences could be in the end. I felt extremely better after hiring Brendan, like the weight just came off my shoulders. Almost a year later we finally went to trial. During that year Brendan had my DUI case dismissed which was a huge deal to me, because my license was at stake. When we finally showed up the criminal trial, the D.A wanted to meet us with a plea of wet and wreck less, which was a lot better than a D.U.I but in California they will take away you license for a being under 21 with a wet and wreck less. Brendan gave me my options and we decided to go to trial. The trial lasted a whole week, and had a full jury, witnesses, toxicologist, the works. Brendan, picked out a good jury, hired a AMAZING toxicologist who basically wrote the book on Alcohol and Drug Detection in California, called great witnesses, poked amazing holes in the D.A and the Cops who arrested me. And even had me go on the stand and testify myself, which was a bold move on both our parts, but Brendan gave me the confidence to battle the D.A and protected me while I was on the stand.

Brendan picked up my call when I needed legal help. That alone was a lot of assurance and kept me going forward. Throughout the 3 to 4 months process, Brendan kept assuring me that my case will be resolved positively and it was. I highly recommend Brendan to represent you. You will definitely want him on your side!

Brendan was recommended to me by a very high profile attorney in the SJ area who already had a huge case load but said he highly suggested Brendan. After meeting with 3 separate attorneys, Brendan won my business. During our initial consultation, Brendan was very attentive and spent close to 40 minutes with me talking through my case (a minor misdemeanor). He set clear expectations that my charge was probably not going to be reduced, but that it was a possibility. His price/rate was very competitive and he seemed willing to negotiate price and provide a bit of wiggle room on a case by case basis which I found to be a very refreshing tactic in order to win his clients' business. During the course of my case/hearings, Brendan was very communicative via email (my preferred method of communication) and detailed what steps were being taken, updates on the case, and future court dates. At the conclusion of my case, my initial misdemeanor was reduced to an infraction and a $75 fine, which was a much better outcome than I expected. Even if Brendan had not been able to get the charge dropped, I would still highly recommend him, as I felt that he went above and beyond to pay attention to my relatively small charge, even though I know he had much larger cases in his case load.

I had a brief communication with Brendan and totally impressed with his responses. Since I already had experiences with couple of other attorneys, I felt that Brendan is a very honest person and he has helping nature in addition to his expertise. I will definitely work with him if I have any issues in the future.

Brenden is a man of great integrity and compassion. He is honest and forward. He gives the right advise and fights hard for his client. He is consistent and persistent in defending his clients. His quick responses to calls for help is extra ordinary. He has helped me in the most critical circumstances and has continued to provide assistance and sound advice with great care and kindness. He is indeed an exception in the legal profession.

In talking to him, I felt that he was someone I could trust --- he knows the law, he understands his client, and will be his best advocate. I highly recommend him.

In truth, this gentleman is a straight shooter. He is brutally honest, and will not take your money if he feels he cannot help you out. He gave me some marginal legal advice for free, even though I was willing to pay. Thanks to him I am able to view my case from a different perspective because he gave me some very good quick pointers. I would recommend Brendan to anyone who has the means to hire a quality private attorney. Thank you Brendan!

PART 2 In the end, after a whole week, we won the case. The case had a hung jury, 11 believed me innocent 1 believed me guilty. BRENDAN CONQUIRED THE COURT ROOM ON A COMPLICATED CASE!! ALSO THE D.A HE WAS UP AGAINST NEVER LOST A CASE BEFORE MINE!! The reason that this case was complicated was because pharmaceutical medications are not in court rooms as much as drugs and alcohol. Meaning that if your going to win a case like mine, it means alot of reading up and studying to find an angle to win the case. While giving a jury a crash course on the substance so they understand the lawyers and what the toxicologist is talking about. JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT BRENDAN IS EXTREMLY ITELLIGENT AS WELL. In the end, I kept my license, no crime on my record, and owed no money to the court. Just to Brendan who deserved every penny. 1/14 Earlier this January, I was driving back home in San Jose, CA on 680 around 10:00 PM. I was speeding and had a few drinks before I left. I was pulled over by CHP, did a sobriety test and breathalyzer and blew a 0.09, but when I went down to the police station, I blew a 0.07 and a 0.06 in the calibrated machine. But I still was giving a DUI just for alcohol this time. Same ordeal, night in jail, $300 impound fee. Guess who I called? Brendan was happy to hear from me, not happy about what happened, but like always was willing to help. I went to his office in downtown SJ. Same thing, he laid out the case on the table, told me his tactics, told me my chances, and told me my consequences. I walked out of his office, and felt like I had nothing to fear. A month later, Brendan gets the DUI case thrown out, saves my license. A month after, Brendan tells me that D.A was accepting his plea of wet and wreckless, which is way better than a DUI. It is a lower fine and hardly any classes or community service. But it gets better, Brendan is a well liked guy in his circles AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN FROM A DUI TO A PLAIN OLD WRECKLESS DRIVING. NO CLASSES, NO COMMUNITY SERVCE, JUST PAY THE COURT $1000. The best part was, I didn’t even take one step in a court room. I just lived my life and put it in Brendan hands and got the next best thing to having the whole thing dismissed. In the end, in my opinion, Brendan is the best choice for criminal defense. He is intelligent, professional, effective, and most of all re-assuring and friendly which is what you really need in a time of need. I don’t condone any of the things I did, but everyone makes mistakes and sometimes we need help dealing with those mistakes. FOR THOSE MISTAKES, BRENDAN BARRET IS YOU BEST CHOICE!!!! Thanks for everything Brendan. Keep up the good work. Your Friend and Client.

PART 1 If I could describe Brendan Barrett in 3 words they would be: Professional, Confident, and Effective. Brendan is hands down, the text book example of an AMAZING lawyer. Brendan lays everything out on the table for you from the beginning, explains his tactics and executes them flawlessly throughout the case. During a criminal case, this is the kind of lawyer that will help you sleep at night and help you know you are in the best hands for criminal defense. But please don’t take my word for it, let me tell you about my 2 cases I hired Brendan for and you make your decision. 11/2010 I was 20 years old fresh out of college. I just graduated for hospitality management and was taking my first dip in the wonderful world of restaurant management. Growing up I had major depression and anxiety issues and was prescribed a number of drugs throughout the years. But one that really stuck with me was Ativan which is a benzodiazepine just like Xanax. I had been taking a dose of 2 mg 3 times a day for 6 years. I was totally functional on it, without question. On my way up to San Mateo one evening on my second week to work, I wasn’t paying attention and I missed the exit I was supposed to take. At the time I had pretty basic blackberry and no knowledge of how to get around San Mateo. I was driving trying to figure out where I was going while looking at my phone and I end up side swiping 3 cars parked in a small neighborhood on the side of the street. A couple people saw me and I did the responsible thing and called the police to have them take my insurance down. At this point I was on the edge of a panic attack by time the cops showed up. When they finally showed up I was in panic, apologizing, and asking for help. They began to ask me the typical cop questions, have you been drinking? Doing drugs? Ect. I hadn’t so I said “no”. They breathalized me 3 times, blew 0.00 each time, made me do sobriety tests, which they said I failed. They went through my car and found my medication. They asked how many I took, I told them I took my daily dosage. They quickly handcuffed me and gave me a DUI under the influence of my prescribed medication I had been taking for 6 years. After a night in jail and a $300 impound ticket I immediately began looking around for lawyers, I was so scared and stressed to the point I just wanted to sleep all day and try to forget about reality. I lost my job and feared of what else I was going to loose from the DUI. I got in touch with a call center who assigns a lawyers to clients, and Brendan was my man. Brendan laid everything out on the table. What the case looked like, what his tactics were going to be, what chances I had, and what the consequences could be in the end. I felt extremely better after hiring Brendan, like the weight just came off my shoulders. Almost a year later we finally went to trial. During that year Brendan had my DUI case dismissed which was a huge deal to me, because my license was at stake. When we finally showed up the criminal trial, the D.A wanted to meet us with a plea of wet and wreck less, which was a lot better than a D.U.I but in California they will take away you license for a being under 21 with a wet and wreck less. Brendan gave me my options and we decided to go to trial. The trial lasted a whole week, and had a full jury, witnesses, toxicologist, the works. Brendan, picked out a good jury, hired a AMAZING toxicologist who basically wrote the book on Alcohol and Drug Detection in California, called great witnesses, poked amazing holes in the D.A and the Cops who arrested me. And even had me go on the stand and testify myself, which was a bold move on both our parts, but Brendan gave me the confidence to battle the D.A and protected me while I was on the stand.

Brendan picked up my call when I needed legal help. That alone was a lot of assurance and kept me going forward. Throughout the 3 to 4 months process, Brendan kept assuring me that my case will be resolved positively and it was. I highly recommend Brendan to represent you. You will definitely want him on your side!
