After graduating from the University of Louisiana in 1994 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and minors in Biology and Chemistry, Brent went on to earn his Juris Doctorate from Tulane Law School, with honors, in 1997. While at Tulane, Brent was a member of the Moot Court Board, and he earned special recognition as the best oralist in the preliminary rounds of a national appellate competition. He delayed the start of his legal career because he enlisted in the Louisiana Army National Guard in 1989 after completing his first year of college. The very next year Brent’s Guard Unit received active-duty orders to support the war effort in Operation Desert Storm. During his time with the 256th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, Brent served as a rifleman, driver and gunner for the company commander’s Bradley Fighting Vehicle.
Brent has litigated cases in over twenty-five states, usually involving issues of serious personal injury stemming from medical malpractice, general negligence, products liability, vehicular collisions, construction defects and commercial contractual disputes, and he works with experts of various fields to ensure quality information and provide ideal results. Brent is a member of both the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
Brent is a husband and father of three children. His experience as a father has led him to focus on representing injured children as often as possible. Knowing that he can have a positive impact on a child’s life is rewarding, both personally and professionally. Brent’s charitable efforts have been dedicated to children’s rights and the fight against breast cancer, the latter stemming from his wife’s survival from the disease. Brent is a former member of the Fore! Kids Foundation and a founding member of the Acadiana Chapter for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
