""I guarantee he will not disappoint""

I was referred to Brett Schwartz by a friend facing serious charges. He was very understanding and also honest, walked us through the process of what could happen from beginning to end best case scenario and worst case scenario. He did not make promises he could not keep and fought hard to seek justice. He was available at all times of the night.

I would text or call after hours and would always pick up. Due to his hard work, the charges were never filed and case was dropped which is truly a miracle and we are so grateful for all his dedication. Should you ever need a defense attorney he is the person to contact, I guarantee he will not disappoint. The effort and dedication surpassed my expectations by far.

      "He got it done!"

      I hired John Hager, because my teen son got into a dispute in Ft. Lauderdale, and needed legal help. John turned out to be as advertised, he is smart, competent, detailed, and responsive to the client and his or her needs. He told me he would get my son's case cleared, and done in a timely manner.. All of that was true and more. I would refer him and his firm, to anyone that needed legal help, as they treat you like a personal friend, and not just a number. John Hager was available around the clock, always returning my text or phone messages, and helping to make this experience as stress free as possible. We had a positive outcome, thanks to his hard work and dedication to my son's case, and we appreciate and would refer him to any of our friends or family.

      "He is a connoisseur of his craft and conveyed all arguments to its full potential."

      It is with great pleasure to write briefly and comment on John's performance, professionalism and compassion for me as his client. As an attorney, he always stayed ahead of what was going on, worked diligently and efficiently to satisfy all requests. He is a connoisseur of his craft and conveyed all arguments to its full potential. He not only kept communication with me, but even when I couldn't reach him, he spoke with my family with respect and assured them during trying times, that all would be ok and calmed their spirits. He over time has become more than an attorney but truly a friend to both my family and I. He is a proven asset to the company and has done above and beyond his responsibilities as my attorney. He sought everything through to the fullest and I am more than thrilled and impressed at the outcome. I would recommend his services to anyone I know, knowing that he or she is in good hands. Thanks John.

      "I got my FREEDOM back because of Mr. John Hager"

      Mr. John Hager represented me in a criminal matter. My first call into his office was after hours and I was ready to leave a message with some call center. Instead it was Mr. Hager himself and I introduced myself and told him I was surprised that someone from the office was still in the office, more so an attorney. Mr. Hager said he was preparing for a case but took a moment to listen to my concern and within minutes of conversing I felt a sense of calm. I was more at ease because I knew then I had contacted an attorney who was very knowledgeable in criminal law. Not long after we met in his office one morning and I was really impressed by how his staff treated me and how the office is very organized. I was then taken to the office of Mr. Hager to discuss the case. By the time the meeting ended, I knew I made a good choice. Mr. Hager took on my case and in the following months he always returned my calls and replied to my emails promptly. His staff was also great at keeping me apprised of all court matters. My case went to trial and the night before I got a call from Mr. Hager and once again I felt a sense of calm, he ended the call by asking me to relax and get a good nights rest. On the following morning I saw Mr. Hager enter the court room, he was dressed sharp and looked totally focused and prepared for my case. I observed the other attorneys and court staff the way in which everyone greeted him. It was obvious he was well respected and known in the courts. My case commenced and Mr. Hager addressed the court, by the time he was done the case was dismissed and I will be forever grateful. Mr. Hager is very experienced and he gave 110% to my case.

      ""He knows how to get the job done""

      We worked with Brett on a domestic violence charge. He was the third lawyer we went to and we FINALLY got the result we desired. His knowledge of the law and the system are beyond impressive. He "tells it like it is," but he knows how to get the job done. In our case, we were stuck in traffic and he had won before we even got to the courtroom. I can't say enough about his competence and care for his clients.

      ""He worked tirelessly and relentlessly to get my case dropped""

      I ​thoroughly recommend ​Brett Schwartz ​as a defense attorney​. He worked tirelessly and relentlessly to get my case dropped even before it went to trial. He succeeded, although the odds were stacked against us. Thanks to ​our overcrowded​ justice system, the ordeal took two months, ​and ​was the most stressful experience of my life. I was in constant panic.

      Schwartz and his partner John Hager helped me through the entire ordeal, even ​affording me the opportunity to speak to them after hours ​and any time I needed them. They also waded through a tremendous amount of evidence, and used it to get a meeting with the prosecutor that eventually ended with the charges being thrown out.

      ""Hager & Schwartz saved me""

      Hager & Schwartz saved me when my case was heading down the proverbial creek, with me in it. At our first meeting the attorney listened to my situation, patiently answered all my questions, and proposed an entirely different strategy. Previous rulings and negotiations had been going against me and he turned everything around. I would recommend this firm for any legal situation where you want a fair legal outcome! I am truly a fan!

      ""I was lucky to have Mr. Schwartz as my lawyer. He is by far one of the best""

      I was lucky to have Mr. Schwartz as my lawyer. He is by far one of the best lawyers in Florida. He won my author hearing case for me. Coming from an island not knowing anybody, he made me feel comfortable at all times. Can't say enough about him.

      ""He fought for the result we wanted""

      I contacted Brett when my son got into some legal trouble. I was amazed at how fast I got a response from Brett and how well he treated us. He kept in constant contact letting us know what was going on and fought for the result we wanted until the end. He is extremely efficient and knowledgeable at what he does. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top class lawyer that delivers great results.

      ""Brett Schwartz is one of the best attorneys available in Florida""

      Brett Schwartz is one of the best attorneys available in Florida. I was charged with a DUI with Serious Bodily Injury and Leaving the Scene. I was facing a possible 10 year sentence with a Judge that rejected our plea on several occasions and seemed to have a soft spot for cases like this.

      And then when everything seemed hopeless and I spent my last days preparing for a possible prison sentence he came out with fists flying and fought for my freedom. He was always available for me no matter what time or day. He was very professional and trustworthy. I would like to thank Brett for all of his hard work and dedication.

      If you are ever faced with a decision as to which criminal attorney you should choose, I highly think it should be John Hager. He is a man of integrity, passion and knowledge and does change lives. He tells you exactly what could happen and does not pull any punches. His perseverance is remarkable as he defends your case and believes in you. I am so grateful to him. Thank you John for giving me back my life and for making sure justice is served.

      ""Provided me with the ideal outcome""

      John helped me through a very tough time, and his knowledge, experience ans understanding provided me with the ideal outcome for my case. Everything was explained to me very well from day one, and kept me informed with updates and progress through the case. I appreciate everything that John has done, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and effective attorney.

      "John Hager is one of a Kind!!!"

      My brother was arrested for a white collar crime on a Sunday evening. I have never had any experience with the law - have never even had a traffic ticket. You can imagine how scared and lost I was to receive a call from my brother that he was arrested. I called several law firms to see what needed to be done next. John was the only lawyer that actually answered his phone. It was such a relief to finally be able to speak to a human being. He allayed all my fears without making any false promises. He stayed in touch with me all through that evening till about 11 pm. I could tell when I called that he was busy with his family. However, not once did he make me feel like I was intruding or that he was resentful for being disturbed. John went beyond the call of duty, made numerous calls on our behalf and counselled us on the best way to proceed. He eventually got the resolution that we wanted. With John, it was never about the money. He stuck to the quote that he had given, regardless of the extra time he had to spend on the case. On the last day in court, he could have handed me the papers and went about his way. John stayed with me the entire time - walked between several buildings and helped me file all the papers necessary. I don't know how to thank John enough.
