Brandon’s doctoral thesis was successfully defended on October 15th, 2021. It was titled, “The Significance of a Corpse in the Law of Offences Against the Dead: A Theoretical and Doctrinal Analysis of England & Wales and Canada”.

In his spare time, he coaches and plays ice hockey and he is constantly trying to improve his golf handicap in the summer while taking in the outdoors. Brandon thoroughly enjoys being active and giving back to his community.

Every day he is striving to become an expert and hone his skills in various areas of legal practice. Currently, his interests are in real estate, family law, and criminal law.
