With a perfect 4.0 GPA, Brian received the Scholar of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences accolade along with the prestigious Ogdens Trustees’ Award. Following college, Brian attended the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law where he was a member of the Brandeis Law Journal and finished in the top of his class. During law school, Brian enjoyed clerkships with two prominent Louisville law firms.

Regardless of who the client is, they receive the same aggressive and candid representation, with their interests at the forefront.
