Brett M. Willis

When the government has charged you with a crime, Brett Willis is the man to see. Brett has been trying and winning the most difficult and serious cases since 2005 – and his ability to win those cases has earned him a national reputation.

Brett has been practicing criminal law exclusively since 2005. He has successfully defended over 2,500 clients (saving an estimated 10,000 years for his clients).

Very few people know what it feels like to have their own government coming after them. Your whole life hangs in the balance: your family, your job, your freedom. What we do is simple: we give our clients their lives back.

What motivates Brett to do this work is simple: he understands what it is like to have your entire world turned upside down in an instant. Since 2005, he has been waking up every morning thinking about ways to win his client’s cases. Nothing excites him more than combing through mounds of evidence and finding the needle-in-the-haystack that wins the case. (See the Arsenic Poisoning case our our Client Stories page for a great example).

The Daily Report has called Brett “a relentless defender,” and selected Brett as one of the top ten lawyers under forty in the State of Georgia. His success in the courtroom earned him not only a local reputation, but a national one as well. Brett serves as an instructor for the National Criminal Defense College, and the Harvard Law School.

Criminal defense organizations around the country bring Brett in to teach trial skills and techniques. The Daily Report (Georgia’s premier legal journal) voted Brett one of the 10 Best Lawyers in Georgia under the age of 40. He is a past recipient of the “Defender of the Year” by the GPDC. And, he is past recipient of the prestigious “Foot Soldier” award from Gideon’s Promise.

Brett has represented thousands of individuals who have stood where you are standing now. He knows about the sleepless nights, the intrusive thoughts, and the anxiety you may be experiencing following criminal charges.

This is more than just another case – this is your life. Your family needs you, and you need a lawyer who is battle-ready. You deserve a lawyer who is an legal in criminal law.
