Steven J. Schmutz is an attorney at Schmutz & Schmutz, based in Charleston, South Carolina. He served as co-counsel for U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in connection with the earliest documented legal step in the Bryant dispute.

Role in the Mace litigation

Interrogatory responses in the subsequent litigation identify Schmutz as co-counsel for Rep. Mace on the November 13, 2023 evidence-preservation and demand letter sent to Patrick Bryant, naming him alongside Jonathan H. Krell and Kate Schmutz. The underlying allegations in that letter are contested and denied by Patrick Bryant. By April 2024, a partition suit arising from the same dispute was filed by different counsel.
