I am an experienced and dedicated trial attorney specializing in Criminal & DWI/DUI cases, as well as Employment Discrimination cases. A St. Louis native, I went to McCluer North High School in Florissant where I played football and wrestled. After graduating in 2000, I attended Truman State University in Kirksville, MO where I majored in History with a minor in Philosophy & Religion.
After receiving my undergraduate degree, I attended law school at Mizzou in Columbia, MO and graduated in 2008.
After passing the Missouri Bar Exam in 2008, I opened a solo practice where I developed the skills, tenacity and professional relationships necessary to successfully and effectively represent my clients. In 2010, I joined the Kodner Watkins law firm where I sharpened my litigation skills and ultimately chose to focus my career on helping those who have been arrested and charged with a DWI, DUI or other charges,as well as helping clients who have been treated wrongly at work. While at Kodner Watkins I have represented criminal clients in federal jury trials, and clients charged with State and Municipal DWI and other criminal charges. I am a dedicated, focused and results-driven attorney who fights for my clients’ rights, representing clients in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County and Franklin County.
Since April 2021, Bretz Legal has been representing clients in Criminal and DWI cases in State and Federal courts in Missouri, as well as representing clients in Employment Discrimination matters.

Excellent Lawyer
Tony was a pleasure to work with. He made the process very simple and easy and explained everything that was needed from my end. He is quick to answer questions and advise. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good, attentive lawyer.
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Bretz is compassionate to his clients, extremely intelligent and a truly zealous advocate. His knowledge and experience lets him be aggressive while staying professional. Not many attorneys can be as intelligent and well read while also being a pleasure to work with. His clients love working with him. I've recommended him to numerous people and never received negative feedback."
"I have known Tony for his entire professional career, and I have always found him to be a knowledgeable, professional attorney. He is dedicated to top notch representation for his clients. While much of my experience with Tony's work has been related to his representation of clients in the areas of criminal and DWI defense, I know that he provides the highest quality representation to all of his clients across all areas of his practice."
"Tony is very aggressive when it comes to the defense of his clients. I have consulted him on numerous occasions for his knowledge on the process of DUI / DWI’s, and have always been lead in the right direction. His mentality and tenacity in the court room is admirable and helpful to any client."
