BAD EXPERIENCE

My experience with Adam Brown was the worst. I expected more especially after consultation. Mr. Brown represented my husband and I in a child custody case involving a special need child. Adam Brown did absolutely nothing for the money he was paid. I do not consider sending a letter to the court and a... few emails as representation. Several times when I called him, he failed to return my calls and would deliberately put on his recording stating that he was not accepting any more calls because his phone was too full, highly unprofessional. Mr. Brown could not make the second court appearance because he had a trial scheduled for the same time and date. Therefore, he sent an associate who was too far away to make it on time. I really believe he lied about the about the associate. My husband and I were left without representation and had to represent ourselves which did not go too well again highly unprofessional and unacceptable. The judge suggested mediation which was conducted by a senior probation officer as a mediator. In our second attempt of meditation Mr. Brown was there for what good it did to have him there. He entered the room stating that he was just going to sit and be quiet what kind of lawyer says that. He spoke very little and was in and out of the room taking phone calls, he was very pre-occupied when his clients needed his full attention. The case ended, resolved by an agreement. My husband and I felt we were doing the right thing for everyone involved. We did not receive any advice from our lawyer prior to mediation or during. I called Adam Brown a few days later and asked him, how did he think it went. He stated that he felt we were strong armed, in a decision by the mediator. I asked him why you didn't say that during mediation, and he replied he did. I don't remember him saying much of anything. I also spoke with Mr. Brown a week later about obtaining a modification because the so-called agreement was written incorrectly, and the defendant was not following the order. I asked Mr. Brown to return to court with me and he was very cold and nonchalantly said no. He had the audacity to ask for more money. I was speechless, and said okay and hung up, before I pay any more money to this man, I will get a more competent lawyer. I would not recommend him to anyone based on my experience. Shame on you Adam Brown for taking advantage of decent people. You did not represent your clients to the best of your ability.

Hi Mary, Hope you are well. Your family is in my prayers, I am still optimistic your agreement will work out for you. As far as modification, I'm happy to review your options again going forward. Also I assure you, I never deliberately ignored your calls :) Adam
