Brandon was born and raised in Norfolk, spending some time traveling the US before deciding on law school. He has been ligating cases throughout Hampton Roads for over two decades. He has many ties to the community working with domestic violence victims, the Virginia Beach Bar Association, Tidewater Community College and is a regular speaker for continuing legal educational seminars.
Wanting to be more entrepreneurial and be more hands-on in helping run and grow a business, Brandon decided the merge his practice with Kellam T. Parks. The paperless environment uses technology for litigation in the courtroom and to give clients immediate remote access. Brandon finds the most enjoyment with helping individuals and small businesses find creative and effective solutions to their problems.
When not working, Brandon spends most of his time having fun with his wife and son. He enjoys racquetball, scuba diving, white water rafting, rugby, boating, mountain biking, and traveling. Brandon and his family have traveled to England, Spain, and several Caribbean islands. You can read more about Brandon from his full bio on the firm’s website.
