Education & Legal Background
Brett received his Juris Doctor from Ave Maria School of Law, in Naples, FL, with a concentration in Natural Law and Catholic Legal Studies. At Ave Maria School of Law, Brett explored the nuances of Catholic theology and the law, specifically researching Saint Pope John Paul II’s philosophy on human ecology. Brett also served as a senior editor for the Ave Maria Law Review, and, during a clerkship at UCLA Law School’s Tribal Law Legal Development Clinic, he sharpened his legal skills by advocating for the rights of Indigenous communities. With these experiences, along with an externship at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the mentorship of respected Catholic attorneys and law professors, Brett believed he would find a meaningful career in Estate Planning.

He served the University of Arkansas as a graduate teaching and research assistant. During this time, he became concerned for the estates of farmers nationwide and how to help them protect their assets in the best way.
