Zachary M. Brand’s passion for trial work began as a freshman at Kirkwood High School participating in the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis’s Mock Trial Program. Zach continued to compete and learn through college mock trial, coaching, and joining every organization in law school with a trial component. Zach has spent over half his life honing his skills in the courtroom as a fierce advocate for his clients. Although new to the firm, Zach brings his clients the advantage of his years of experience: strategy to know how to win, and the ability to execute the plan.
