He also defends businesses and other clients in matters involving personal injury, premises liability, motor vehicle accidents, property damage, and other general liability claims. His experience includes representing clients in the insurance, retail, restaurant and hospitality, and other industries.

    In addition to his trial court practice, Brennan has significant appellate experience.
