A Compassionate, Accessible, Aggressive Lawyer.
With over three decades of experience, Brent has gained tremendous insight into the law and how to successfully navigate the complexities of the judicial system for his clients. Brent is known for his unique skills set - the courage to aggressively fight any battle against the adversary, while still maintaining sensitivity, support and kindness for his clients. He has a unique cross section of abilities that are so often lacking by the typical lawyer - he patiently listens and supports his clients, but then can easily shift gears to be a warrior in the legal arena.
As someone who has been through a divorce, Brent is particularly acquainted with the life altering tolls that family law matters can potentially take on children. It is with this personal knowledge that fosters Brent’s dedication to achieving long term goals both effectively and efficiently for his clients.
Furthermore, Brent has developed a keen sense of the emerging issues for people going through divorce who have special needs children. Brent really understands the uniqueness of that World and quite effectively advocates for the legal aspects of those situations. This really sets Brent apart from other lawyers.
In criminal cases, Brent understands that the system is so very intimidating, but he navigates the client’s defenses and shields them. There is so much at stake - one’s freedom, ability to work and earn a living, reputation, relationships and dignity. So many lawyers look to take the easy way out by having their client ‘cop to a plea’. But not Brent - if a trial is needed to clear the client’s name, he is eager to wage that battle. Whatever it takes - he is entirely committed to the client
Although he now concentrates primarily on family law matters and criminal defense cases, Brent also has a very diverse legal background, having handled all aspects of civil litigation for many years, including an array of corporate, business and transactional issues.
