Melissa Britton is a Mount Pleasant, South Carolina businesswoman. She is the founder and CEO of Bracari, a digital software company that has held subcontracts with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Health and Human Services, according to federal tracking records cited by FITSNews. She is also the sole trustee of Pommer Group LLC, a real estate holding company, in that capacity acting as its sole manager, according to publicly filed affidavits in this litigation. Britton is the estranged wife of Eric Bowman, a co-defendant in the underlying case.

Connection to the Nancy Mace record

Named as a Third-Party Defendant, November 2025. Third-Party Plaintiff Patrick Bryant filed a Third-Party Complaint on November 6, 2025 in Berg v. Bryant, No. 2025-CP-10-03124, Charleston County Court of Common Pleas, naming Britton alongside Rep. Nancy Ruth Mace as Third-Party Defendants. Bryant's Third-Party Complaint alleges causes of action against Britton; Britton has disputed the claims and moved to dismiss Bryant's Third-Party Complaint on Rule 12(b)(6) grounds, asserting it "fails to state any viable claim" against her. Service was accepted on her behalf by her counsel, Mary Grace Maybank, in November 2025, according to an affidavit filed in the case.

The publicly filed case caption as of early 2026 reads: Alexis Berg, Plaintiff, vs. Patrick Bryant, John Osborne, Eric Bowman, Pommer Group LLC, Assignment Desk Works LLC, and GLT2, LLC, Defendants; Patrick Bryant, Third-Party Plaintiff, vs. Nancy Ruth Mace, Melissa Britton, and Alexis Berg, Third-Party Defendants. Case No. 2025-CP-10-03124.

All allegations in Bryant's Third-Party Complaint are the contentions of Bryant as the filing party. Britton disputes them. No court has made any finding of fact or liability against her, and the matter is unadjudicated.

Pommer Group LLC and the underlying litigation. Pommer Group LLC, of which Britton is the sole trustee and manager, appears as a named defendant in the original complaint filed by Alexis Berg. In publicly filed motion practice, Bowman stated that Britton "is the sole party legally authorized to act on behalf of the LLC," citing her sworn testimony from an August 2022 deposition in a separate proceeding; Bowman noted he had "never held any ownership interest, managerial authority, or operational control over Pommer Group." Britton's relationship to Pommer Group as its independent trustee is a matter of public record established through filings in this case.

Eric Bowman's April 2025 arrest. On April 8, 2025, Bowman was arrested and charged with first-degree harassment and stalking by Sullivan's Island Police Department. According to ABC News 4, the charges arose from a complaint by Britton, his estranged wife, and investigators reportedly found a tracking device on Britton's vehicle. Bowman denied the charges. The criminal matter has not been adjudicated as of this entry.

Separate civil matter: Bowman v. Britton. A separate civil case, Bowman v. Britton, No. 2025-CP-10-04343 (Charleston County Court of Common Pleas), is part of the same consolidated docket under Judge Donald B. Hocker. On February 17, 2026, Judge Hocker issued a Temporary Injunction in that matter, temporarily removing Britton as trustee of Pommer Group, finding that plaintiffs were "likely to prevail on the merits," according to a publicly filed motion in Berg v. Bryant. That injunction is a preliminary ruling, not a final adjudication on the merits; the matter remains pending.

Gag order. Judge Hocker's November 26, 2025 gag order applies to parties and their counsel across the consolidated litigation. Its scope and application to Britton as a named party is governed by its terms as entered by the court.

All civil litigation described above was pending as of the date of this entry. No final judgment has been entered in any of the described matters. Britton denies Bryant's Third-Party Complaint claims and has moved for their dismissal.
