Brandy Meyer Andersson
Senior Attorney at McKinley Irvin
Brandy Andersson has had a remarkably diverse career since she started practicing law in 2002. Upon graduating law school, she earned an LL.M. in Taxation, and went on to become a felony criminal prosecutor. Brandy transitioned to family law when she decided she could better help domestic violence survivors by working directly as their advocate. She spent several years at Eastside Legal Assistance Program (ELAP) before transitioning to private practice as a family lawyer, where she often served as a Guardian ad Litem.
An open and honest communicator, Brandy ensures that her clients know what to expect during their dissolution proceedings. She enables them to identify their issues clearly and bring them into perspective, which empowers them to move forward. Brandy does this with great empathy and compassion, carried over from her years at ELAP. She succeeds in easing her clients’ minds during a stressful time.
“The relief my clients feel is palpable when they are able to confront their issues directly and bring them to resolution. It is rewarding to help them recover their peace of mind.”
As a former prosecutor, Brandy is an accomplished litigator in court. While she excels in litigation, her goal is to resolve her clients’ cases long before trial becomes necessary.
Additionally, Brandy champions the welfare of children in divorce cases. The former Guardian ad Litem is skilled in promoting the best interests of the children in custody arrangements, and designs the most appropriate parenting plan in each situation.
