Biography

Alexei Brenot is a senior associate within the firm who advocates for the legal interests of homeowners, business owners, government agencies, employees and others in the areas of business and commercial litigation, real estate litigation, employment and wage claims, class actions, construction law, and other civil litigation. 

Alexei credits his decades of success as an attorney to his past military career. Alexei began his time in the military learning different languages at the Defense Language Institute (DLI) in Monterey, California and later on attending the United States Air Force Cryptology School becoming a certified radio communications analyst. After being certified, Alexei was then employed as a Communications and Intelligence Analyst for the United States Air Force.

Alexei’s compelling arguments in trials, alongside his creative negotiating skills in both arbitration and mediation are all factors of why clients are satisfied with his representation. In the past couple of years alone, Alexei’s representation obtained awards and judgments in excess of $80,000,000.
