"Prior to joining Hupy and Abraham, I handled a number of cases working against Brandon. What impressed me about him then was his easy understanding of the strengths and challenges of his case, his genuine concern for his clients and their wellbeing, and his courteous yet zealous advocacy on behalf of his clients. Working with Brandon over the last three years has allowed me to observe those talents up close, and I continue to be impressed. His recognition as both a Wisconsin Super Lawyers Rising Star and a Top 100 Trial Lawyer in Wisconsin tell the tale. He is tireless in his efforts on behalf of his clients. The proverbial “extra mile” is just the normal course for Brandon in working for his clients. I strongly recommend attorney Brandon Derry."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Brandon for several years, but I can promise you this endorsement has nothing to do with the mere fact that he is a co-worker. My endorsement comes from having witnessed how incredibly hard he works and his impressive instincts, preparation, and intelligence in trying cases. I have seen him obtain large numbers of excellent settlements and win very difficult jury trials on a regular basis. He always provides his clients with honest and practical advise and counsel on their cases, and he has the knowledge and experience to do so with real authority.
I suppose the best endorsement is that I would not hesitate to use him myself if I were to be injured by someone's negligence. If he is your attorney you are in excellent hands."
