He answers research questions for supervising attorneys, investigates environmental justice issues, and participates in strategy calls with SELC colleagues.

I want to create environmental justice with marginalized communities, 

Associate Attorney Brandon Sinott

Brandon grew up in Philadelphia and lived in New Orleans before moving to Atlanta. He graduated cum laude from Emory School of Law, where he gained pro bono experience working at the Turner Environmental Law Clinic as a student attorney, helping represent individuals, groups, and nonprofits seeking to protect and restore the natural environment and promote environmental justice.

“I want to create environmental justice with marginalized communities,” says Brandon.

In his free time, Brandon enjoys the peace and easy access of Atlanta’s Westside Park.
