Bryant Surley-Strong is the Personal Injury Litigation Paralegal at the Brandy Austin Law Firm. As a litigation paralegal, Bryant assists the Personal Injury attorneys with managing cases in litigation. He works closely with clients to help make their lawsuit move forward as smoothly as possible.
Bryant grew up in the DFW metroplex and graduated from Mansfield-Summit High School in 2005. Bryant received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a minor in German from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. He entered the legal field in 2016, working for a boutique family law practice in Dallas. When that firm dissolved, Bryant joined a civil rights firm in Arlington as a legal assistant. It was at this job that he discovered a passion for the law. Working in civil rights law was deeply rewarding, and Bryant especially enjoyed working with clients to defend their rights.
In 2018, Bryant was thrilled when he received an offer to join the Brandy Austin Law Firm as a personal injury paralegal. New to personal injury law and a passionate lifelong learner, Bryant loved delving into the art of personal injury law. When working in pre-litigation, he loved taking all the disparate facts and figures from complicated cases and carefully crystalizing them into a single, easily understood narrative. Now as the litigation paralegal, Bryant loves working closely with clients to help them navigate the tricky waters of litigation. He is honored to work with such dedicated and exceptional team of attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and attorney liaisons. Joining the litigation side of personal injury has been an exciting and rewarding experience.
Bryant has a passion for Personal Injury. In college, Bryant was once rear ended while waiting at a red light by an uninsured, unlicensed driver. He understands how difficult and devastating a car accident can be, particularly when you are not at fault. While he is forever thankful that neither he nor his passenger were injured, losing his car hundreds of miles away from home was a disaster. Bryant takes pride in helping navigate others through stressful situations like the one he had to endure years before. He firmly believes that no one should have to suffer because of someone else’s negligence.
In the fall of 2013, Bryant met the man who would become his husband. They married in 2016 and have been happily together ever since. In 2020, they adopted a precious baby girl, and they could not be happier! As a parent, he cannot thank Brandy Austin and all of his coworkers enough for all the love and support they have shown him and his family.
When not working, Bryant loves spending time with his family and friends, watching movies, going to the theater, playing video and board games, cooking, and traveling. Bryant has had the opportunity to travel abroad to countries Canada, England, Wales, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Japan. He and his husband hope to add France, Italy, and Norway to that list soon. Bryant became an Episcopalian in college, and he and his family are active members of their church. Bryant and his family also have three cats: Freddy, Jason, and Michael.
