I have worked directly with Branden as co-counsel and have also come to know him through the Trial Lawyer's College—an institution that represents the top 5% of trial lawyers in the country. His participation there is proof of his deep commitment to the craft of law and to the people he serves. What sets Branden apart is not just his legal skill, but his heart.
