Brandi handled my case in a very professional and caring way. She is very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable during a very trying time. I would recommend Brandi to my friends and family.
"Brandi is one of the most driven attorneys I have ever met. She works tirelessly for her clients and that is the reason I partnered up with her. I would want Brandi to handle the litigation case if it were my own family or friend who needed representation."
"Brandi is a skilled and tenacious litigator who zealously advocates for her clients. Brandi represents employees in all forums, as the same traits that make her a skilled litigator make her a great administrative defense attorney in public employee discipline appeals. And her background in defending police officers accused of civil rights violations gives her a unique and invaluable perspective that serves her and her clients well in both civil litigation and internal administrative matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Brandi is an amazing lawyer- well prepared with a keen insight to legal issues."
