He represents clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges throughout Harris County and Southeast Texas, with a particular focus on DWI defense. His practice includes cases involving breath and blood testing, field sobriety testing, drug offenses, assault, theft, weapons offenses, probation violations, and other criminal allegations.

This training helps him evaluate forensic evidence, identify weaknesses in chemical testing, and challenge the prosecution's scientific conclusions when appropriate.

Brett earned his Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University before receiving his Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston in 2015. Since being admitted to the State Bar of Texas, he has focused exclusively on criminal defense, representing clients charged with DWI, drug crimes, assault, theft, and other misdemeanor and felony offenses.

He carefully reviews police reports, body-camera footage, witness statements, laboratory records, and forensic evidence to develop defense strategies tailored to each client's case. Brett understands that criminal charges can have lasting consequences and is committed to protecting his clients' constitutional rights throughout every stage of the criminal justice process.

Brett is an active member of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association, and the Galveston Bar Association, and he continues to pursue advanced education in criminal law and forensic science.
