Effective criminal defense is no simple task. It is highly involved, requiring a dedication and perseverance beyond that of any other practice area. It demands the most of its lawyers as they must be knowledgeable about investigative research, well-versed in several areas of law, and quick on their feet in court. It requires that attorneys be calming, understanding and compassionate to their clients without sacrificing their aggressive stance in front of the prosecution. Brendan Barrett offers it all.
