Law Office of Brendan Barrett

Very impressed by Brendan! He was always quick to respond to me, handled the case professionally in the court room, and got my charges dismissed.

He made an extremely unpleasant experience as good as it could possibly have been. Very professional and proactive.

Brendan Barrett is, without a doubt, the best lawyer. He quite literally saved my future. I’m currently in school, and a conviction would have destroyed my career before it even started. But thanks to Brendan’s dedication, sharp mind, and deep understanding of the law, he got my first case dismissed on the very first court date. Before that case was even completely resolved, I went through a situation that led to another case against me. I immediately contacted Brendan, and without hesitation, he stepped right in. He gave me clear, meaningful “homework” to complete, explained every step of the process, and kept me calm through one of the hardest moments of my life. By the time we went back to court a month later, Brendan had already spoken with the DA and the judge, he was completely prepared. On that same day, he got both cases dismissed. He’s incredibly sharp, confident, and wise. The kind of lawyer who commands respect the moment he speaks. Beyond his brilliance in the courtroom, Brendan is also one of the kindest and most reliable people I’ve ever met. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to protect them. His professionalism, intelligence, and compassion are unmatched. Working with him and trusting his guidance was the best decision I could have made. I hope im never in a situation like this again but no doubts I'll be calling Brendan if I ever need a Lawyer.

Mr. Brendan Barret is money well spent and secure. I was facing a huge drug case that carried a substantial amount of time in prison. He made a plan for me and we executed. DA was adamant of sending me to prison but Mr Brendan Barrret's plan was accepted by one of the most rigorous judges in the county judge GOGO. 100% recommend him for anyone that is fighting something serious he is worth every US dollar. He kept me out of prison and next to my family on house detention. Mr. Barret thank you for keeping a family together

Brendan came as a HIGHLY recommended personal referral from a mutual friend who is also an attorney.  I didn't think anyone was going to take on my case, let alone tell me "You're going to be ok". I honestly didn't believe him at first. That has changed.  It is said, "You get what you pay for", and in this case it is absolutely true. He was straight forward, honest and precise in all our correspondence throughout the process of my case.  DO WHAT HE SAYS.  I cannot stress this enough.  He knows what he is doing.  He has an excellent rapport with the courts, Judges, prosecutors and district attorneys in the San Jose and surrounding areas, (Santa Cruz County in my case).  He is patient, empathetic, compassionate and thorough.  Every question and concern I had was promptly answered, and he didn't sugar coat anything.  I was looking at some serious consequences that could have cost me everything I have.  My marriage, my house, my job.. All of it could have been gone if it weren't for the expert counsel that Brendan provided me.  By following his instructions we were able to impress the prosecutor with our mitigation package. So much so that they downgraded the charges from 2 felonies to one misdemeanor.  On top of that, he was able to negotiate a further reduction in my sentencing that will have me passed all this in a fraction of the time that would have been otherwise.  Because of him I will not see the inside of a jail cell. I will not miss work, and will be able to keep the bills paid and move on with my life. Brendan is a true master of his craft, and I cannot efficiently express the level of gratitude, relief and hope that I feel as a result of his help. I wholeheartedly recommend Brendan to anyone who needs legal counsel, especially concerning a DUI.  I hope I never need legal assistance again,  but if I do, I'm calling Brendan Barrett.  You should too.  That is all.

Fantastic service, was referred from a friend and was not dissapointed. Quick responses, patient and very friendly.

was by my side at all times; communicative; respectful; A WINNER; and a very helpful person! thanks barrett for all the help! 5 stars!

I worked with Brendan and found him to be exceptionally patient and understanding. He explained everything in terms I could understand and always took the time to make sure I felt comfortable. His guidance made a stressful situation much easier to manage. And I also like that he responds to emails and calls pretty quickly for various questions that I have. If it was a situation that he doesn’t specialize in, he would refer me to another lawyer with expertise in that area. His rates are also very reasonable, which is a big plus.

Fantastic work. Quick and easy. Thanks Brendan!

Brendan helped me out with a couple of particularly sensitive cases and got the results that we wanted in a spectacularly shorter timeframe than expected. He is assertive in court, knows who to talk to and moves with the quickness. He's reassuring but not unrealistic in his expectations. I really appreciated him and hopefully I'll never have to call him again, but if I need to, I know he will take care of me. Can't recommend him enough. Thank you, Brendan!!

Brendan is a talented defense attorney and knows how to navigate the court system and fight for his clients. He met with us timely and answered all of our questions. He gave us recommendations how to navigate the court process at our first meeting even if we didn't hire him right then and there. We ultimately hired him and had a successful resolution to my father's case- it was dismissed due to his dedication to the case. We would 100% hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I've worked with multiple lawyers across different fields— family, personal injury, and more—and my experience with Brendan has stood out as extremely positive. He's responsive, knowledgeable, and truly takes the time to explain things clearly. Brendan brings a level of professionalism and care that’s rare. Highly recommend.
