Brett’s practice focuses on catastrophic injury and death cases. He serves on the Executive Committee for MATA, and is the primary author of the blog dedicated to consumer safety advocacy, Kansas City Injury Board. In September Brett will be honored as one of Missouri’s Up and Coming Lawyers by Missouri Lawyers Weekly in St. Louis.
