He has appeared in state and federal courts across Texas, representing everything from individuals in crisis to large corporations, and brings over a decade of experience to the Law Offices of Carol Bertsch, PC.

Brennen is a member of the San Antonio Bar Association and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. He recently moved to San Antonio and spends his free time exploring the city and surrounding hill country, sampling all the cultural and culinary experiences it has to offer.
