My goal is a quick and successful resolution for our clients. My reputation is to fight for every penny that my client deserves. Although I desire to settle for my client's best interests, the insurance companies and their counsel know that I will take them to trial if they don't settle. And, I have achieved multi-million dollars in verdicts against those insurance companies that want to challenge me.
I focus on injury claims whether the client is injured in a wreck, while performing maritime work, or while performing other kinds of work.

Michael is extremely competent in regards to litigating traumatic brain injuries and I consider him a member of the new regime in this area of practice. If you find yourself with a case of this nature, especially if you live in the New Orleans Metro area and have no idea what to do with it. It would be in your best interest to send that client to Mr. Brandner if you'd like them to be well served.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael several years ago at the Trial Lawyer's College in Wyoming. I got to know Michael very well in a short period of time and I can tell you that he is a passionate, honest, dedicated and talented lawyer. He cares about the people he represents and fights hard to get them the justice they deserve.

I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mike for several years. I met him through a mutual friend in Jerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. He has demonstrated intelligence and a strategic ability to win and settle cases. I other words, Mike has the rare ability to "think outside of the box" and knows the law. For example, last summer I asked him to sit second chair in a criminal trial. With is gifted legal mind we were successful in hanging the jury. We are also working on a trucking case together. He has an unusual ability to cut to the chase and resolve the cases.
Stephen Hebert, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 27, 2012

Mike believes in his clients and in their story and is prepared to stand as their advocate. Whether in a private settlement negotiation, mediation, or in a courtroom, Mike will find a way to tell the story the way it deserves to be told.

I met Michael Brandner at the amazing Gerry Spence Trial Lawyer 's College in Wyoming in a training program that lasted almost en entire month. During this time, I saw first hand Michael's ability to navigate complex cases, his compassionate side for his fellow man-kind, his ability to turn the Courtroom into his stage and his very capable leadership and negotiation skills, all traits that you need in an attorney if you have been in an accident. New Orleans has a gift and he is right here!
James Drummond, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 28, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Michael and I were fellow students at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers' College. I witnessed first hand his courtroom skills and strategic acuity. His command of the courtroom is powerful without intimidation, and his sincerity is bound to impress any jury. As an advocate he is peerless and stood out among the elite lawyers invited to the Wyoming college/

Michael and I met almost a year ago at Gerry Spence's Voir Dire seminar. This unique setting let me get to know the man behind the attorney. While I know that Michael is a hell of an attorney and any client would be lucky to have him, everyone says that about who they are endorsing. You should hire Michael because of the man he is outside the office. He's a strong father and husband. He's also a great friend that maintains friendships around the nation. There are many great attorneys out there, but I submit to you: who are they outside the office? Michael's character shines through in his representation of his clients. You want a lawyer who not only fights in the court, but also has his heart in it. You want a lawyer who cares for your family as much as you do. You want a lawyer who will care for you, because he will also fight that much harder. Hire Michael, a real trial attorney.
Shannon Smith, Sex crime Attorney on Nov 19, 2011
