I would definitely recommend Atty. Brent with Joye Law Firm!!!
-Shontel W., Actual Client

When his grandfather died unexpectedly while Brent was in high school, his family faced a dilemma and turned to a lawyer for help with succession planning for the family farm. Brent saw the kind of assistance that a skilled attorney could provide to a family facing a difficult time. That formative experience inspired Brent to pursue a legal career and to use his skills to help others going through tough times.

“When I first meet with clients, I try to treat them just like any other member of my family,” he says. “I want them to know that I care, that I’m on their side, and that I’m just like them at the end of the day. I also want them to know they’ve met someone they can trust and somebody they can count on to fight for them.”

Brent is known for his legal skills and has extensive trial experience. In addition to trying wreck cases, Brent also handles some premises liability cases.

“Here at Joye Law Firm, we have strong lawyers and strong advocates with diverse backgrounds,” he says. “Our goal is to make a better product, and in the end, reach a better outcome.”

What inspired you to become an attorney?

When I was in high school, my grandad unexpectedly passed away. We were faced with the dilemma of estate and succession planning for the farm. We had to hire a lawyer to handle taxes and estate planning, and to develop a strategy going forward. That was a dark period, but it inspired me to become a lawyer.

What do you want a personal injury victim to come away with after the initial meeting with you?

When clients leave my office, I want them to know that I care, that I’m on their side, that I’m just like them even though I have a lawyer hat on. I want them to know I’ll go to battle for them. I want them to know they’ve met someone they can trust and somebody they can count on to fight for them.

What is the most satisfying aspect of being a personal injury lawyer?

For me, the most satisfying aspect of being a personal injury lawyer is knowing I’ve tried my hardest on behalf of my clients. I let my clients know we have their back and are in their corner. At the end of the day, if I’ve done everything I can to help them, I’m satisfied.
