Brent Wieand is a trial attorney and a founding partner of Wieand Parker Arreola, PLLC, where he litigates cases involving nursing home neglect, medical malpractice, and corporate misconduct. Raised in a small town and the first in his family to attend law school, he was drawn to the law after watching people he cared about face serious problems with no one in their corner to help them through. That experience shapes what he writes about for The Trial Attorneys: how the legal system actually works for ordinary people up against well-resourced institutions. Outside the courtroom, he spends his time with his family, cheers on his daughter’s travel soccer team, and is learning golf in his 40s.
