Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have had the pleasure of working with Brent on several cases. He is always professional, prepared, and open to creative solutions. I appreciate his straightforward, knowledgeable, practical approach to the practice. I am always pleased to see his name on any of my cases, whether as opposing counsel or guardian ad litem.

I endorse this lawyer.
Clayton Simms, Family Attorney on Sep 1, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I've know Brent for years and he is a skilled and able advocate, who has demonstrated an ability to deal with difficult and demanding divorce cases. He is a tough litigator, but he gets along well with opposing counsel. Based upon my work with Brent, I can, without reservation recommend him for anyone going through the challenges of a divorce.
