Brandon Rees handles cases involving commercial trucking, products liability, professional liability, premises liability, personal injury, dram shop, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and construction fatality. He has represented small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, and large government defense contractors.
His trial experience includes deposing several hundred fact witnesses and experts, as well as successfully mediating over 100 cases. He understands that being an attorney truly is being a counselor at law. He believes successful case advocacy boils down to effectively and efficiently communicating the law, case facts, and themes to clients and jurors.
His strategy is to approach the case offensively early. His philosophy is that you can win your case in a single deposition. Brandon firmly believes every deposition is a “make or break” situation.
In the several hundred depositions he has taken, he has witnessed that a single sentence of testimony can alter the entire essence of a case for the entirety of the litigation. Thus, Brandon takes pride in being the most prepared lawyer in any deposition.
