This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Grateful for Michael Brown

I cannot say enough positive things about Michael Brown & his staff. I was overwhelmed & full of fear when I went to him for a consultation & left his office with hope & clarity. There wasn’t a question in my mind he was a perfect fit for my needs. I hired him without hesitation and couldn’t be hap...pier that I did. His unparalleled efficacy & professionalism coupled with his dedication & supportive no nonsense approach provided much needed comfort & confidence during a very challenging time in my life. He & his staff provided prompt attention to every concern & question I had. I will be forever grateful.
