Ex Scientia Pax · Out of knowledge comes peace.
I've spent more than 26 years in the legal field, across litigation and transactional practice. My experience includes complex real estate and business litigation, energy (oil and gas), eminent domain, estate planning and probate, family law, criminal law, regulatory and administrative matters, municipal matters, personal injury and insurance claims for policyholders. I also spent several years as an escrow officer, handling residential and commercial closings from contract to funding.
That range means I understand a matter from more than one side: how the deal was put together, where it went wrong, and what the court will need to see. I've helped attorneys, businesses and individuals in nine states, and that experience goes into every BCIS matter.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Intelligence and Security Studies from Angelo State University, and I'm now working on my master's in the same field. That training taught me to take a large, messy pile of information, check it from every direction, and turn it into something a decision-maker can act on. Organizing high-volume, complex information and keeping track of every detail is what I do best.
When I became a licensed private investigator, I saw the gap clearly. Attorneys were hiring investigators and paralegals separately and connecting the pieces themselves. So I founded Brunson Case Intelligence Services in 2025 to do it all under one firm. I stand behind every deliverable and work with you until it's right.
