What We Do
Here at Brenna, Brenna & Boyce, we concentrate our practice in specific areas of law. We also offer free consultations in certain areas, and are happy to do home visits when needed.
Catastrophic Injury and Wrongful Death
For over 50 years we have represented accident victims. Individuals who have been injured can rely on us to assist them in seeking justice and compensation for any wrong thrust upon them. Individual personal and property rights are of paramount importance in this country and we assist clients diligently in our efforts to preserve and protect these rights.
Estate Probate and Administration
Estate administration is a crucial part of our practice. Since the early 1950s, the firm has been handling the probate of wills and the appointment of estate representatives. Clients are taken care of from the moment initial information is gathered until the will is offered for probate or a person is appointed as an estate representative. It is our fervent belief that our clients must be served on a few levels; lawfully and emotionally. We assist clients when passing assets on to beneficiaries or charities, and often handle estates and probate wills that other attorneys have drafted. In addition, we assist other attorneys and law firms who do not have our magnitude of experience in estate matters.
Estate Planning
In our estate planning practice, we work with clients in preparing wills, health care proxies, living wills, powers of attorney, and/or living trusts in order to help clients better manage or dispose of their assets, both during their lifetimes and after. We take a holistic approach, considering not only their assets, but also the dynamics of the entire family involved to ensure that the client’s interests and needs are met. Whether their concerns are about whom to leave certain assets or to try to avoid or minimize Estate Taxes, or even in planning for the protection of assets in the event of a catastrophic illness, the firm endeavors to use knowledge and compassion to provide our clients with peace of mind that accompanies knowing that their estate planning needs have been met.
Military Law
Our military law practice handles cases worldwide in the areas of military courts-marital, appeals and post-conviction relief. We also handle all administrative actions from Article 15's (Captain’s Mast), administrative separations (chapters), officer misconduct issues, security clearance cases, flying evaluation boards, Cadet/Midshipmen misconduct matters, discharge upgrades, Boards for Correction of Military Records, administrative investigations, claims, conscientious objector cases, re-enlistment issues, officer resignations, etc.
