Not just another client

I hired Chris Brown after I was pulled over and accused of being intoxicated. I was treated very poorly by the police, which is really not relevant. Anyhow, after 13 months my charges were finally dismissed. However, I know if I didn't have a great lawyer like Chris Brown, things would have worked o...ut very differently. If it took 13 months with him, just imagine what could have been without him. From the moment I first called to the dismissal, I felt important. Chris and his assistant don't make you feel like you're just another client. They are wonderful!

Great Car Accident Lawyer

I was so nervous the first meeting but Chris was so helpful and didn’t leave any question unanswered. My nephew was injured in car accident and Chris quickly received us the maximum payout and he always returned my calls promptly. When I would call overwhelmed Chris did everything in their power to m...ake sure I was taken care 100%. I would recommend anyone needing a personal injury and car accident lawyer to come to them.

He did great for all of my cases with him

I first hired Chris Brown years ago for a marijuana "upm" ticket that he got dismissed. Two weeks later I got a DWI - they said I was high and I wasn't- and Chris got that dismissed. When I was recently hit by a car I called chris and he got me the money I needed. Like they always say on TV the insur...ance never wants to give you a fair shake unless you get a good attorney. Chris is better than good, he's excellent.

Best lawyer around

Chris was professional and honest when it came to my case. Being charged and potentially being found guilty, Chris fought hard. Chris is very educated about NY Laws and it showed when he was representing me, he was able to dismiss my case. I would recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a lawye...r.

"You want a trial attorney who has the ability to convince everyone in the courtroom -- jury, judge, and spectators -- that justice is on your side.

Because Chris Brown possesses this rare combination, you want him in your corner when the stakes are high."
