Brett Willis
Founder / Attorney
Giving You Your Life Back
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 and his team were beyond supportive, helpful, gracious, caring and knowledgeable! We went through the most challenging and difficult time in our life and he was there every step of the way. With results we could never have imagined but definitely prayed for.
Not to mention his level of professionalism. From the first time we spoke to the first time we saw him in court. He stood out from almost every other attorney there. We were so appreciative that our attorney looked and was so professional, pulled together and prepared. When so many others were none of these things.
Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough to convey our feelings and appreciation.

I tried to write this several times and it brought me to tears. First may I say this has been the hardest three years of my life. Five lawyers I interviewed and none even understood the law as it applied to my case. So I thought I would try one more and it was Brett. From our first conversation together I knew he understood the law and was the perfect one for the case. I want to say how he prepared the case and presented it, achieving a full dismissal and ruling the police violated my first amendment rights. Complete genius!!!!
If you're reading this review and unsure, stop...call Brett. He always returned my call or texts within a couple hours, never more than 24 hours. He was always courteous and knowledgeable, trust me he talked me off the ledge a couple times. I would have given him 10 stars but 5 was the only option. Thank you Brett for all you did for me!!!!!
