Fights for the Little Guy

I take pride in “fighting for the little guy.” I take cases I believe in for people I care about. Each case that I select is handled with extreme care and given the amount of time it needs and deserves. What sets me apart is not what I do, but how I do it. I have the flexibility to choose my cases and spend the time to get to know my clients.

Attorney Roger Brunelle has successfully represented clients in complex criminal and multi-million dollar personal injury matters.  He left a prominent trial firm to start his own law practice, where he will be able to provide the personal attention to clients that they deserve.

Roger started his legal career in the United States Army, where he represented hundreds of soldiers as an officer in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG).  He is a skilled and sophisticated litigator whose dynamism benefits his clients in both civil and criminal matters, in state and federal court.

In a legal environment where lawyers often spend more time in their office, rather than the courtroom, Attorney Roger Brunelle distinguishes himself.  He is often found in court, pounding the podium on behalf of his clients.  Although Attorney Brunelle understands the benefits of compromise, his mantra is, “I am not afraid to try a case.”
