Honest, Hardworking, Efficient, Effective

Driving in Upstate NY, I experienced my first accident; and I received 2 traffic tickets that would have raised my insurance, added a colossal 8 points on my license, and cost me $450 for DMV’s driver assessment fee. I immediately called several law firms in the area for help. A few lawyers actua...lly refused me outright because (they said) the county in which I received the tickets is notoriously difficult. Another attorney charged me $1000 upfront because he felt it was foregone conclusion that my case would go to trial. Another charged me $200 over his regular retainer fee solely because my case involved an accident. Chris Brown, however, was different. While requesting a reasonable, affordable fee, he told me that he would try his hardest to get my tickets reduced to something tolerable. Indeed, 1.5 months later, he obtained a plea agreement in which I incurred just 3 points instead of 8 points. That outcome allowed me to avoid DMV’s $450 Driver's Assessment Fee and kept my insurance rates from skyrocketing too much. Mr. Brown was quite amiable during our initial telephone conversation, and we were able to do everything by email. I strongly recommend Chris Brown for anyone in need of an honest, hardworking, efficient attorney.

DWI Defense

Chris was very knowledgeable of the current DWI laws. He treated me as if I was a personal friend, not just someone in need of a lawyer. It speaks to the type of character he brings to the table. I was one of those who thought "it won't ever happen to me". Well it did, and with the advice Chris provi...ded, I am happy to say that this entire situation is a thing of the past. I would recommend giving Chris a call the next time you find yourself in a potential life-changing legal situation.

Ticket Lawyer

I got an out of state speeding ticket while driving through New York and Chris handled my case with professionalism and precise knowledge of the current laws. He was responsive and very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to a friend. Thanks, Chris!
