Brad is not afraid to take a case to jury trial. However, he knows that skilled representation also includes providing options for his clients. He uses his experience and skill in the courtroom to negotiate the best options possible, and does not pressure his clients into doing something that they do not want to do. This philosophy is used in the most serious cases, as well as for misdemeanor charges. His trial experience ranges from misdemeanor offenses to many felony jury trials, and also includes a death penalty trial. In 1988, Brad was co-counsel on the first recent death penalty case in Kansas where the jury declined to actually give the death penalty. Brad has also received not guilty verdicts in three other separate Sedgwick County first-degree murder cases, on a total of 6 different counts of first degree murder.
Brad originally began practicing in the Public Defender´s Office, and advanced to a group supervisor position. After several years in that capacity, he went into private practice. Once in private practice, he took on a caseload through the Juvenile Court system, and handled approximately twenty percent of all criminal juvenile cases in Sedgwick County over the next few years. He also represented a significant number of felony cases in District Court during that time as well.
Brad is a graduate of Boston University School of law. He graduated from college when he was 21 years of age, and received two separate college majors and two separate college minors. Following law school graduation, he moved to Wichita where some of his family lives. He has lived in Wichita since 1988, and was admitted to practice law in 1989. He is fiercely competitive, and is very involved with his childrens´ academic and sporting activities. For approximately five years, he has coached several different teams that involved both academic as well as athletic pursuits. All of these teams have either won their league or have had a significant winning record. Brad also keeps active and rides with a local bicycle club.
