About Brent
Biography
My current practice is primarily criminal defense involving drug related cases and serious matters where firearms or serious physical force is used such as assaults and murders including capital cases, as well as other serious offenses. I prefer complex litigation and focus on matters which may be resolved in trials by jury.
