Brett is equally dedicated to treating each client with respect and compassion. She handles her cases in a well-organized and thorough manner, taking into consideration the entire situation and all options necessary to provide her clients with resolutions that meet their needs and goals. Brett has experience both in Collaborative practice, as well as negotiating out of court solutions, mediation and litigation.One of the many great things about Lazar Schwartz & Jones LLP, is the team approach taken by the attorneys, combining their history of experience and success, to bring about the most comprehensive solutions for all clients.
