In a past life, Brett A. Switzer played poker professionally. Today, as a seasoned litigator, Brett channels the same skills he utilized on the felt to deliver exceptional advocacy in high stakes, high profile litigation in Georgia and across the country. Understanding the odds, reading his opponents, remaining calm under pressure, effective storytelling, and adapting strategies based on dynamic information are lifelong skills Brett utilizes to advise clients and deliver victories inside and outside the courtroom.

A Principal at Berman Fink Van Horn, Brett focuses his practice on private business litigation and “white-collar” representative matters for corporate clients and their executives when the federal government is involved. Brett handles bet-the-company litigation for clients and represents their interests against the federal government in cases investigated and prosecuted by the Department of Justice and many other government agencies, including the FBI, IRS, and SEC. He also handles court appointed cases for indigent defendants as a member of the esteemed Criminal Justice Act Panel for the Northern District of Georgia.

A cum laude graduate of Georgia State University College of Law with highest pro bono honors, Brett completed a summer clerkship under the Honorable Judge Wendy L. Hagenau in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia and graduated as a Tax Clinic Fellow with distinction for his dedication to the work of the Philip C.
