Bradley S. Braun
Bradley S. Braun is a shareholder and managing director in the firm and founded BCK with his partner, Greg Kruzel, in 1999. He has been providing quality legal services to clients since 1986. His clients have assets ranging from the moderate “non-taxable” estate to estates valued in the tens of millions of dollars. Brad’s success in his practice stems from the fact that he educates and guides each client through the myriad of personal and legal decisions necessary to create an estate plan that achieves his clients’ goals while minimizing taxes and the time and expense of estate administration. Brad takes pride in building strong relationships with his clients. He not only understands the law, he understands his clients and their present and future goals and concerns. This personal approach ensures that Brad’s clients make informed decisions, and as a result, their ability to preserve and increase their wealth during their lifetime is enhanced. Brad’s clients find that under his guidance, their dispositive intent and healthcare wishes are clearly delineated and the transfer of their wealth to future generations is both effective and efficient. Further, Brad works with personal representatives and trustees of estates and trusts in both non-contested and contested administrations.
Brad is active in the Arizona community. He serves on the Board of Directors of Altered Tails Barnhart Clinic.
