Brendan P. Karl

Attorney Grand Rapids, MI

As a strategic advocate and litigator, I strive to understand my clients and their situations so I can tailor my services to their needs.  As a former federal prosecutor, officer, and attorney in the Department of the Air Force, I leverage a diverse set of skills to help those navigating disputes involving individuals, businesses, and government. Plus, I have extensive experience in state and federal courts at both the trial court level and on appeal.  This strengthens my ability to navigate disputes from beginning to end.

Originally from Michigan, I’ve also had the opportunity to live in Florida, Missouri, and overseas.  After attending law school in Southwest Florida and working as a trial court law clerk , I served in the Air Force Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps.  During that time, I deployed and provided full-spectrum legal counsel to a joint information warfare task force.  Following my military service, I entered private practice.

In addition to practicing law, I’m blessed with a wife and three children.  We enjoy exploring Michigan’s lakes and trails.  Plus, we appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the community we call home.  For hobbies, I enjoy mountain biking, dirt bike riding, and hockey.
