As a prosecutor, Bracken led Major Crimes Team investigations into Officer Involved Shootings and other critical incidents, and chaired Washington County’s Brady committee. Now, Bracken represents police officers in use of force investigations and officers facing potential criminal charges.

Over the course of my career as homicide detective and Major Crimes Team coordinator, I had the privilege of working with several talented prosecutors and Bracken is one of, if not the best. Bracken’s talents and skills as a trial attorney are second to none. He has an amazing ability to focus in on the key issues and avoid being distracted by less important things. When I had a very difficult case, I would always hope it would be assigned to Bracken.

I worked with Bracken post-shooting during the most difficult time of my life. When the incident received national attention, he went above and beyond doing everything he could to keep the video and audio of what I thought were my final moments private from the media. He always had my best interest in mind during every step of the process. I will be forever grateful for his service and compassion.

I’ve known Bracken for 25 years. During that time he’s handled several of my cases as well as an OIS I was involved in. I would recommend Bracken to any public safety employee in need of experienced, knowledgable, and robust legal representation.

I’ve worked with Bracken for over two decades and I would recommend him to anyone in law enforcement who needs an attorney—particularly for officers in use of force cases.
