Brent Blanchard
Southwest Utah and Southern Nevada
Born and raised in Henderson, Nevada. Educated in the Intermountain West. Worked many places before law school.
Like Mr. Steven R. Covey, seeks first to understand. Heart of a teacher (Thank you, Mr. Dave Ramsey.) with skills to "translate" legal rules and procedure. Fan of the sciences and faith and letting the innate good among us shine.
Focus on preventing legal problems when possible, experienced in rescuing litigation cases from prior errors or neglect.
Son, husband, father, outdoors enthusiast. Prior work in public relations and financial planning prepared for legal interest in estate planning, soothing ruffled feathers, and guiding businesses and their contracts and other dealings to minimize ruffling others' feathers.
Moved to the southern Utah area in 2000, where most of his childhood friends had grandparents and other relatives.
Knows a few things because he's seen a few things (Thank you, Farmer's Insurance.). Value and gives straight answers. Public speaker since age 5 and looking for a trail partner to hike the Grand Canyon.
