As a former Naval Officer, Andrew learned the importance of professionalism, diligence, and having good judgment to handle challenging circumstances. Because the legal process can be both daunting and confusing, Andrew has resolved to always bring a sense of calm and clarity to those he serves. Related to that goal, Andrew's time at Regent University School of Law taught him the immeasurable value of being both a zealous advocate who presses for every advantage and being a man of integrity who will do what is right, ethical, and honorable in every situation.

Upon graduation, Brandan started his legal career by clerking in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for the Honorable Henry Coke Morgan, Jr. Obtaining a Federal Clerkship is a prestigious position that very few attorneys will have the opportunity to experience during their careers. Federal Court requires exceptional attention to detail while working on complex legal issues and Brandan quickly earned the respect and trust of Judge Morgan.
During his clerkship, Brandan gained substantial experience working on a variety of complex litigation matters including products liability cases, intellectual property licensing disputes, and multi-billion-dollar patent infringement trials.
