Co-founder, CEO, and Lead Trial Lawyer

Brandon is known for achieving exceptional results for catastrophically injured clients. Parents who lost their son to a vehicle fire said, “Language cannot adequately express the difference Brandon has made in our lives.” Lawyers who referred a pedestrian struck while crossing the street said, “Mere words are inadequate to convey the true depth of our gratitude for the extraordinary and tireless representation that Brandon afforded [our client].” A lawyer who referred an insurance bad faith case said, “Brandon is a brilliant attorney who possesses not only a comprehensive knowledge of insurance law but also a keen understanding of the procedure. A master strategist, Brandon will ensure his clients' best interests are served.”
