About Brenda
Biography
ACCEPTING CASES IN DUVAL, CLAY, NASSAU & ST. JOHNS COUNTY ONLY
A graduate of Brandon University as well as Old Dominion University, I earned my Juris Doctorate Degree from Florida Coastal School of Law. After law school, I worked in the Office of the Public Defender in Jacksonville, Florida where I defended thousands of clients against charges ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. I left that office in 2010 and have been working in my own firm since 2011 representing clients almost exclusively in family law issues.
Outside of work, I am the mother of two young men and the wife of a retired miitary man. We love to travel and have new experiences.
