Personal Injury & Probate Litigation Attorney Jordan Brunner

Jordan Brunner is passionate about litigation and vindicating the rights of his clients. He developed an interest in the law at an early age—one of his middle school teachers would loan him Time magazines and copies of the Wall Street Journal, which he read from cover to cover. He was fascinated by how the law impacted everything from war to economic policy.

Brunner decided to attend community college while still in high school, graduating with his associate’s degree shortly before he received his high school diploma. He went on to graduate summa cum laude from Arizona State University in 2015, and received his law degree from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in 2018.

Besides being the youngest graduate in his law school class at twenty-two years old, Brunner also served as the president of the Jewish Law Students Association; vice president of the Black Law Students Association; the Senior Executive Editor of Jurimetrics—ASU’s science and technology law review—and a national security law intern at the Brookings Institution, writing for Lawfare. He also received many accolades, including the Alan A. Matheson Service Award for outstanding service to the law school, the Jurimetrics Best Note Award for his article examining cybersecurity and national emergencies, and several CALI awards for receiving the highest grade for specific courses.

After law school, Brunner worked for the Justice Department before joining Doug Zanes & Associates to work on personal injury litigation. While there, Brunner worked on civil rights, wrongful death, traumatic brain injury, and premises cases, as well as probate matters.

Today, Brunner continues assisting clients with personal injury and probate litigation matters. He also periodically contributes to Lawfare on national security topics. His work for Lawfare and other outlets has been cited by academics, national security practitioners, media outlets, military officers, and government officials.

Brunner is licensed in the State of Arizona and the Federal District Court of Arizona. He is a graduate of the Arizona College of Trial Advocacy, a program of the State Bar of Arizona’s Trial Practice Section. He frequently volunteers with the State Bar and the Arizona Bar Foundation to teach the next generation of lawyers, particularly through mock trial programs.

When he is not working, Brunner enjoys hiking, visiting museums, playing with his dog, and spending time with his family.
