Brandon Akers

Attorney

Brandon joined the Edwards Group team at the beginning of 2022. At that time, he was researching part-time for us while he finished his final semester of law school at Regent University. After graduating Cum Laude from Regent University School of Law and taking the bar exam, he is now full-time and part of our Estate Planning and Estate Administration teams. Brandon comes to Edwards Group with experience and passion for estate planning. He has already been a guest lecturer on Wills, Trusts, and estates; and is the Ronald L. Fick Book Award Recipient for Will Trusts & Estates, Estate Planning, Federal Income Tax, and Family Law.
While Brandon comes to us with amazing credentials, there is more. He also has a passion for what we do. These areas of interest for Brandon match perfectly with Edwards Group’s mission and vision:

  • Simplifying legalese into plain language,
  • Educating clients to empower their decision-making, and
  • Preserving an individual’s freedom of disposition (the constitutionally protected right for a person to distribute their assets as they see fit.)

Brandon was born in Alton, Illinois, and is from the Edwardsville area. He is a fan of the Cardinals, Blues, and White Sox (because tickets were cheap while in college). He likes running, reading, gouache painting, sand volleyball, following movie box office performances, and watching live concerts and theatre. Brandon attends St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in Chatham. His family has two Shih-Tzus, Rawlings and Tugger.
