Adversity: Quitting Wasn't an Option

Lee Brett

The true story of how I became the only person in U.S. history to successfully defend myself in a federal trademark lawsuit against Larry Flynt. Facing 100 million-to-one odds, I slept in my car, studied law 16 hours a day, and drove thousands of miles to file paperwork—with no legal experience—fighting for what was rightfully mine.

Synopsis

Adversity - Quitting Wasn't An Option
A True Story of Resilience, Betrayal, and Beating the Odds
When world-renowned pool coach and entrepreneur Lee Brett built his brand, American Hustler, he had no idea it would catch the attention of billionaire Larry Flynt. What followed was a brutal legal battle that should have crushed him—a lone fighter against an army of elite lawyers, buried in paperwork, deception, and threats. With no legal background and no money for attorneys, Lee had only one option: to defend himself in federal court.
Against impossible odds—greater than becoming President (which has a 1 in 10 million chance) or being struck by an asteroid (with a 1 in 74 million chance)—Lee fought back, studying trademark law 16+ hours a day, driving thousands of miles to file paperwork, sleeping in his car, and sacrificing everything to protect what was his. He faced betrayals, intimidation, and moments of near defeat, but quitting was never an option.
This gripping true story is more than just a courtroom drama; it's a testament to the power of resilience, grit, and believing in yourself when the world tells you that you can’t win. Adversity isn’t just a book—it’s proof that no matter how powerful your opponent, the underdog can still emerge victorious.
