Overview

Our lawyers strive to provide creative solutions for businesses, executives and families with corporate, tax, real estate, water, oil and gas, estate planning, probate, and employment and litigation matters. We combine the attention and responsiveness that one would expect from a smaller law firm with the levels of expertise found at much larger firms. We are committed to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in each matter we undertake. We communicate with our clients to ensure that they understand the scope of our services, how quickly they can expect us to complete those services, and how much those services will cost. We take pride in our work, and we are grateful for the relationships of trust and confidence that we have with our clients.

Commercial Litigation
Branscomb takes complex legal theories and explains then in my terms so I understand what's going on. They do a great job.
Chad Webster
Renhill Staffing
Commercial Litigation
The attorneys, legal aides and entire staff have proven to be the best representation a small business owner could receive. They have a knowledge and experience base in every area of legal representation that, in my opinion, sets the pace by which other law firms should be judged. The integrity of an attorney is of most importance, and this firm's culture exudes a level of integrity that is somewhat awe-inspiring. Branscomb and its employees treat the clients like they belong to the family and never put any outside interests ahead of the client's interests.
John Stinson
Caribbean Evaporation & Pump, LLC
Corporate Law
Branscomb guided my company and I though one of the most trying sales to perhaps one of the most difficult of buyers. Having little experience in such matters, James T. Clancy, Jeff Dickerson, Allen Bertin and the firm proved to be far ahead of the buyers representation,. This prevented my making regrettable mistakes and did so while always keeping my goals and interests at the forefront of their work. Furthermore, this firm and these men have provided additional guidance for preparing my estate to move forward for a long time to come with minimal effort and maximum return.

Commercial Litigation
I have worked with several lawyers within Branscomb over a long period of time. I have been pleased with the firm's responsiveness, capability, and work product.
Mark Hiler
Capital Farm Credit, ACA
Corporate Law
Branscomb handled the sale of my business in a most professional manner. They provided the necessary pushback during the sale needed to get what I wanted and needed without upsetting the buyers.
