I have worked with Brett on two matters in Georgia. Brett exhibits the highest levels of professionalism in everything he does. Technically, he is a thorough attorney who is always well-versed in the law and facts of his cases. Personally, Brett is very easy to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bennett Legal Group focuses on legal work in the construction industry. In fact, Brian Bennett, the founder of Bennett Legal Group has extensive experience as a contractor and civil engineer prior to establishing the law firm. Brian’s experience means he understands the practical implications of legal decisions and can see dilemmas and solutions within the big picture of the construction firm. At Bennett Legal Group, our attorneys are trained to provide not just solid legal advice, but solid, practical legal advice.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods are used instead of judicial intervention. They can be used to resolve all types of legal matters from disputes in divorces to personal injury claims, as well as business disputes.
Arbitration occurs when all of the parties to the dispute agree (either in their contract or by separate agreement) to use a third-party neutral to decide the case instead of using a judge or jury. Why not just go to court? There are a number of reasons. Arbitration is private and confidential, unlike court which is public and out in the open. Arbitration can significantly reduce the cost of resolving the dispute and can resolve the dispute much more efficiently. Arbitration also brings finality; unlike going to court with its endless appeals, there are very limited ways to overturn an arbitration award. This is because the decision by the arbitrator (the third-party neutral) is legally binding on all parties.
