About Brenda

Lawyers and judges who follow Supreme Court work know that each argument represents months of written work, careful preservation of issues, and coordination with trial counsel.
Beyond the high-profile Supreme Court appearances, her work includes briefing and arguing appeals in state and federal courts in Kansas. She has guided cases through interlocutory appeals and final judgments. Her practice involves preparing appellate briefs, drafting petitions for review, and presenting oral arguments. This depth of appellate practice informs how she approaches cases at the trial level as well, emphasizing record development and issue preservation.
