Brett L. Tolman is an attorney and founder of The Tolman Group focusing on public policy and government reform. Prior to entering private practice, Brett served as a federal prosecutor for nearly a decade. In 2006, he was appointed by President George Bush to be the United States Attorney for the District of Utah—a position he held for nearly four years. 

For the past 10 years, Brett has defended corporations and executives in all manner of state and federal criminal and regulatory actions across the country. During this time, he has also been a leading figure in criminal justice reform including the drafting and passage of the First Step Act, one of the most sweeping reforms of the federal criminal justice system in decades. Brett continues to work on criminal justice reform issues and advises the White House and many members of congress on such issues. 

Brett supports the work of Clause 40 Foundation because our criminal justice system is only as good as the due process we afford the accused and the integrity of our adherence to the presumption of innocence.
