About Brian

In 2002, Brian Wright received his Associate in Paralegal Studies from Bryant and Stratton, and in 2007, his Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice from Arizona State University; this fueled his passion for the law.

 

Brian graduated from Northern University with his Juris Doctor degree; to this day giving him 10 years of experience in the legal field.  Brian is a member of the Federal Trial Bar, Illinois State Bar Association, American Bar Association, Kane County Bar Association and DeKalb County Bar Association.

 

Prior to opening his private practice Brian Volunteered at the DeKalb County Public Defenders office while in law school then after graduation served as an Assistant Public Defender in Kane County.  He handled misdemeanor, traffic, abuse and neglect, and domestic cases.

 

Since then he has expanded his experience and knowledge by working as an Assistant State's Attorney handling misdemeanor, traffic, and civil prosecution.

 

Brian believes everyone deserves experienced and competent representation.  He delivers that in his private practice while giving personalized attention to every case. One aspect that sets him apart from others, is that he is a Veteran and recognizes those who served our country.  That is why he offers discounts to individuals in Active Duty, Reserves and Veterans.
