Barrett R. Brewer is a Mount Pleasant, South Carolina civil litigator admitted to the South Carolina Bar in 2002. He practices at the Brewer Law Firm and is board-certified as a trial attorney by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. He represented Patrick Bryant — a Charleston-area businessman who had a prior relationship with U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace — in a civil matter involving Mace in Charleston County.

What Mace Said Publicly About Brewer

Mace made several public statements criticizing Brewer by name in connection with that litigation across the fall of 2025.

October 10, 2025 — courtroom, Charleston County: Mace attended the sanctions hearing and, according to Live5News reporting, turned toward Brewer and said: "I'm going to hold his feet to the fire and I will stare him down anywhere I see him. He's not going to get away with this."

Mace's office issued a statement during the same period characterizing Brewer's conduct as "weaponizing the legal system to harm victims and intimidate witnesses," according to ABC News 4.

These characterizations are attributed to Mace and her office, and are not independent findings of this entry.

Brewer's public response: Following an October 10 hearing, Brewer told reporters: "We respect the court's ruling. We respect its process. We can't comment anymore because of an ongoing attorney-client privilege. We look forward to representing our clients with integrity and ethics moving forward and continue to protect their rights," per ABC News 4.
