About Me

Brent G. Berkley, Esq.

Bridging the Gap Between Law, Policy, and Innovation

For over 35 years, my career has been defined by a single, persistent goal: solving the complex challenges of the justice system by marrying deep legal expertise with the power of modern technology. 

 

I don’t just view law and technology as separate domains; I see them as the twin engines capable of driving true operational efficiency, accountability, and public safety.

 

My journey began in the trenches of the courtroom. 

 

From working as a private and public defense attorney, to my work as a prosecuting attorney in Utah, I handled everything from misdemeanors to capital murder cases, gaining a visceral understanding of the system's pain points. Whether acting as a Special Assistant United States Attorney on federal firearms cases, managing large and diverse caseloads as a county prosecutor,  or working with local city and county governments, my focus was always on improving outcomes, for the communities I served and the justice system as a whole.

 

The desire to scale that impact led me to the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA). As Program Director, I moved from local litigation to national and international influence. Traveling across all 50 U.S. states and countries like Ukraine, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Palau, India, and Micronesia, I saw firsthand how technological adoption and proper training could transform victim advocacy and trial practice. 

 

I wasn't just managing grants or portfolios; I was helping to modernize how justice is delivered globally.

 

For 11 years at Axon Enterprise, as I continued this mission in a number of roles, culminating my tenure there as  Director of Strategic Justice Relationships.  The landscape of evidence management has shifted, and I thrive on helping diverse teams; from small offices to organizations with over 2,000 users, navigate that change. 

 

Whether it’s policy development or technical integration, I am passionate about empowering legal professionals to leverage 21st-century tools.

 

Ultimately, I am an agile, persuasive, and committed professional who believes that technology, when deployed with purpose, creates a safer and more transparent society. I specialize in building bridges between stakeholders, driving operational efficiency, and turning complex regulatory landscapes into opportunities for progress. 

 

In short, I’ve spent my career advocating for the unrealized potential of the criminal justice system.  

 

And I’m just getting started.
