When not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family--being outdoors, playing games, singing and serving others. My wife, Beth, is a Physical Therapist and currently spends most of her time as a home educator. We are active in our church and enjoy bible study. We have an enthusiastic Irish Goldendoodle named Sherlock.

I met Brent over a year ago and have come to respect his sincere concern and high degree of care for his clients, his integrity, and his skill and dedication to elder law. I highly recommend his services and feel secure in knowing that any clients I refer to him will be well served.

I have known Brent Kellenberger since he was admitted to practice law in 2005. I regularly refer clients (and prospective clients referred to me) to him for elder law assistance. Brent has years of hands-on experience working with the elderly in a wide variety of settings. This is of great comfort to family members who find themselves in the role of caregiver, especially in crisis situations. I recommend Brent, without hesitation, to anyone seeking an excellent practitioner who provides legal services with a warm and caring personal touch.
