“I learned these values from the lawyers in my life, including my grandfather, my dad, my aunt, my brother, my best friend, my law school professors, and some of my professional mentors. I’ve been privileged to know lawyers who demonstrated these values and who have provided me advice and counsel. I want you to benefit from a similar experience.” - Brendan

On personal injury cases, he offers a free 30-minute consultation. On all other matters, he offers a 1-hour consultation for a fee, which he'll credit back to you if you retain him.

He is: “A Different Kind of Lawyer. A Different, Kinder Lawyer.”

Catastrophic/Severe Injury, Wrongful Death, Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist, and Bad Faith Claims

When another person causes economic injury, personal injury, catastrophic/severe injury, or the death of a loved one, you need a skilled lawyer to fight for you. The other side has people battling to get you to settle for pennies on the dollar — fight back!

Divorce, Family Law, and Child Custody

When a marriage ends. you have a slew of emotional and financial matters to address. If you have children, you have more to consider, and even more significant emotional and financial concerns. You need a divorce attorney who can advise you on both the financial matters and the child custody and timesharing issues, while navigating the court system so that you can focus on what matters: Ensuring that everybody involved stays healthy, both emotionally and physically.

Administrative Law, Professional Licensure, and Security Clearance

If you’re a licensed professional, you have rights and responsibilities. If you need help defending your license or if you need help getting a license, then you need to hire an attorney. Whether you’re a doctor, lawyer, nurse, architect, or any other licensed professional, don’t go against your profession’s board without a lawyer. If you need help getting or keeping a security clearance, you may need a lawyer’s help.

Many professional liability insurance policies will cover legal fees in matters affecting your license and right to practice.

Wills, Trusts, Estate Plans, Probate, and Powers of Attorney

Brendan can advise you as to whether you need a will to distribute assets or if other options can satisfy your final wishes. As an additional service, Brendan can advise as to how a Power of Attorney can both protect your interests and ensure that your medical providers honor your wishes when you are unable to make decisions for yourself.

If you want to leave part of your estate to a relative, but fear that they will spend the inheritance unwisely, our estate planning attorney can help you set up a trust to ensure that assets remain available long into the future.

As part of an Estate Planning Package consultation, Brendan will review all of your assets, insurance products, liabilities and your particular situation to advise you on how to set up ownership of your real property and financial accounts to ease or avoid probate. He will also advise you as to whether you are carrying enough liability insurance to protect your assets in the event you or a family member causes injury to another person. Hint: Many people -- and especially retirees who owe little or nothing on their homes -- carry insufficient coverage and could lose their homes if hit with a large liability claim. As an Estate Planning attorney who also practices Personal Injury law, Brendan can advise you on what your insurance coverages mean, how much insurance you should carry, and what it all means!
