About Brian
Biography
My passion is helping people who have been accused of wrongdoing by the government. I've spent years studing language and culture in the United States, Mexico, Spain, and the Dominican Republic. After attending college at La Universidad de Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain, Centro de Lenguajes Extranjeros in Toluca, Mexico, I've learned to respect the mindset of other people and their cultures. As a former microbiologist, I have a unique understaning of the science currently used by law enforcement. For example, I am trained in DNA analysis and interpretation (at Boise State University) as well as the identification of alcohol and drugs in blood by gas chromotography (at Axion Laboratory in Chicago).
