Career Inception

Barrett’s interest in litigating jury trials started when his own father, a commercial real estate broker, was cheated by two bigger companies who wanted to pocket more money by not paying a commission. His father had a good case, but the trial lawyer did a bad job. Seeing first-hand how small businesses and professionals get steamrolled by big companies and their big law firms, and seeing how fraud injured his own family, Barrett decided he could do better.

Barrett attended Wake Forest University School of Law, where he represented the school in both trial and appellate advocacy competitions, nationally.  He went on to hone his jury trial skills in personal injury and business litigation at one of the largest law firms in South Carolina, where he has been the lead attorney in well over 100 jury trials, as well as countless adversarial motion hearings, arbitrations, and mediations.
