Job History
During, and immediately after college, Brandon worked in the restaurant business and after graduation (and between jobs) traveled extensively. From 1991 through 1994 Brandon traveled across the country twice, to Canada and Mexico, and spent several months in Eastern and Western Europe backpacking, including going to the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and World’s Fair in Seville. While in law school he was the president of the trial team for two years and interned with the Naval Legal Services Office (JAG Corp).
Experience
After passing the bar, Brandon obtained a job with a well-known small litigation-based law firm where he worked for seven years, the last two years as partner. Thereafter he joined a mid-size firm of 30 attorneys where he was a partner and on the long-range planning committee. After 11 years, Brandon decided to try his hand at running a firm.
Becoming Part of Parks Zeigler
Wanting to be more entrepreneurial and hands-on in helping run and grow a business, Brandon decided to join Kellam to form Parks Zeigler, PLLC. Brandon and Kellam were long-time friends and had worked together in two different firms. Their strengths complimented each other, Kellam’s focus on technology, systems & procedures, and marketing, and Brandon’s attention on finances, talent acquisition, and office expansion. The firm’s application of technology is generally focused on (1) becoming more efficient, (2) better serving clients by assisting in real-time communication, and (3) allowing clients’ instant and 24-hour access to their files. At work, Brandon finds the most enjoyment by helping individuals and small businesses find creative and effective solutions to their problems.
