Adams Leclair LLP is pleased to announce the addition of Brian Persons to its litigation support staff as a paralegal. Brian brings a solid foundation in criminal law, a deep curiosity about the legal field, and a perspective that aligns with the firm’s collaborative culture. 

“I think my best attribute is my kindness. When I interviewed here, I met a group of kind, like-minded individuals who are passionate about the law,” said Brian. 

After several years supporting criminal defense attorneys, Brian is excited to shift into civil litigation and expand his skill set. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, and later completed a Certificate in Paralegal Studies from Boston University.

“I have always found an interest in Law and plan to become an attorney in the future,” said the Deerfield Massachusetts native. “Becoming a paralegal felt like a natural pathway to accomplish my long-term goals while gaining experience.”

Brian made the move to Rochester three years ago to be with his girlfriend, a dancer with the Rochester City Ballet. He’s enjoyed volunteering for RCB each November to serve as a “Party Parent” in the annual production of The Nutcracker—a role that has become a cherished tradition. “This year will be my third consecutive year, and I hope to continue it,” he shares. “Getting to see my girlfriend dance is my favorite thing.” 

At home, Brian enjoys quiet time with their two cats, Honey and Winnie, and he and his girlfriend often explore the region by hiking at Letchworth State Park or by attending Red Wings games during the summer.
