Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Brent is one of those rare self starters that propel themselves quickly to the top tier of attorneys. His knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions here. The greatest compliment or not are a lawyers client reviews and his are both numerous and stellar. READ THEM! Endorsements from other attorneys are also outstanding. Continuing education including National College for DUI Defense is also impressive. Do yourself a favor if you or a loved one is charged with a DUI and give him a call for a consultation ASAP. If you are lucky he might just agree to represent you.
