Clark Brewster is an American attorney based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Brewster is the founder of the law firm
Brewster & De Angelis PLLC. His practice focuses on medical malpractice, complex civil litigation, and high-profile criminal defense.[1][2][3][4] In addition to practicing in Oklahoma, Brewster has practiced in states throughout the US, including California, Colorado, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Texas, New York, Arkansas, Florida, New Jersey, Kentucky, Louisiana, Delaware, Hawaii, and Kansas.
Brewster grew up on a dairy and crop farm in Michigan.[14] In 1977, he graduated cum laude from
Central Michigan University.[15] He then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma with his wife, Deborah.[16] There, he earned his Juris Doctor degree from the
University of Tulsa College of Law in 1980.[17] Brewster and his wife have three children and own a 4,000-acre ranch in Bristow, Oklahoma.[18]
Legal Career
Brewster has represented numerous high-profile clients and obtained significant jury verdicts against large corporations. He represented Stormy Daniels, including when she testified against former President
Donald Trump at his criminal trial alleging falsification of business records in New York.[19][20][21][22][23] Brewster represented Bob Baffert in matters related to Thoroughbred racehorse Medina Spirit, who was disqualified after finishing first in the 2021 Kentucky Derby.[24][25][26] In 1997, Brewster represented Carol Howe, who provided the government with advance warning of the
Oklahoma City bombing. After failing to act on Howe’s information, the government later prosecuted her for conspiracy, willfully making a bomb threat, and possession of a destructive device. She was acquitted at trial.[27][28][29][30]
Other Notable Cases
U.S. v. Harold Staples, 511 U.S. 600 (1994)[31] The Court reasoned that it was unthinkable that Congress intended to subject law-abiding, well-intentioned citizens to a possible 10-year term of imprisonment if what they genuinely and reasonably believed was a conventional semi-automatic turns out to have worn down into or modified into an automatic.
$15.6 million jury verdict against a subsidiary of American Financial Group.[33] In 2005, a jury awarded the parents of a 21-year old killed in a vehicular accident represented by Brewster, $5,640,000 in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages against Mid-Continent Casualty Co. in an insurance bad faith case.
$15 million jury verdict against
Ford Motor Company.[34][35] In a 2007 federal product liability trial against Ford Motor Co., Brewster represented a client whose parents filed a manufacturers’ products liability claim against Ford, alleging that the roof of the Explorer was defectively designed and caused their son’s death. The jury awarded $15 million in actual damages to Brewster’s client.
Jeffrey Todd Pierce (wrongly imprisoned for 17 years, later exonerated).[40][41][42]
Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl [43][44][45] The Baby Veronica case involved a custody battle between the biological father, Dusten Brown, a registered member of the Cherokee tribe, and the adoptive parents, Matt and Melanie Capobianco, who lived in South Carolina. Brown invoked the Indian Child Welfare Act to gain custody of Veronica, who was adopted at birth in 2009. Clark Brewster represented Brown in the case. The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that Brown must return Veronica to the Capobiancos.
John Hamilton (surgeon accused of murdering his wife).[46][47][48]
Other Activities
For over 30 years, Brewster has been involved in thoroughbred horse racing.[49] He owns and races horses, with over 3,400 starts and nearly $13 million in earnings.[50] Some of the horses he owns include Track Phantom (raced in the 2024 Kentucky Derby in partnership with L and N Racing), Breeze Easy, and Jerry Caroom.[51]
