Brendan Klaproth

Brendan has fought to recover millions in verdicts and settlements for his clients

Brendan founded Klaproth Law in 2014. Brendan established the firm based on the philosophy that the firm would aggressively pursue justice on behalf of those consumers who fell victim to corporate greed, fight for those employees who were not paid their full wages, defend those employees who were treated unfairly because of the color of their skin, vindicate those subject to police brutality, protect the rights of women subject to the “locker room banter” in the workplace, and seek full justice for those suffering from catastrophic injuries.

Brendan is a fierce litigator who stops at nothing to obtain justice for his clients. No case is too large for Brendan. He has represented his clients against the government, national banks, and Fortune 100 companies.
