About Brandon
Brandon Sample began his legal journey in the classroom. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies from Adams State College in 2012, then went on to receive a J.D. from Vermont Law School. Those years set the foundation for a career that has crossed state and federal lines.
Early on he built experience in courtroom procedure and appeals. He has secured admission to the Vermont bar and to a broad array of federal appellate courts, including the First through Tenth Circuits and the D.C. Circuit. That admission roster reflects an appellate practice that reaches beyond state boundaries and into the federal appellate system.
His professional path led him to establish his own practice. He serves as principal lawyer at Brandon Sample PLC. In that role he manages both trial preparation and appellate filings, often handling work that moves from the trial level to appellate review. He appears in Vermont courts and files briefs and oral arguments in federal circuits when cases require it.
Memberships in legal organizations have been a steady part of his professional life. He holds current memberships in the American Bar Association and the Federal Bar Association. He is a current member of the Vermont Trial Lawyers Association and a lifetime member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Those affiliations signal a continuing engagement with trial and defense communities, and they keep him connected to developments in criminal law and litigation practice.
Colleagues describe him as someone who prepares thoroughly and values clear legal writing. He spends significant time on briefs and appellate records, and he can move from meticulous trial planning to the condensed argument style appellate courts expect. He also handles the interpersonal work of client counseling and case strategy in sensitive matters.
He has no public record here of judicial appointments or academic posts, and this profile does not list particular cases or published opinions. The record does show an attorney who built broad federal admissions and who maintains active ties to national and state legal organizations. He runs a small firm structure that allows him to oversee litigation from start to finish.
He is currently principal at Brandon Sample PLC and continues to practice in Vermont and in multiple federal circuit courts, handling trial and appellate criminal defense and litigation matters.
