Andrew Barclay Brown

In Sept. of 2019 a good friend of mine reached out to York County Family Court personnel and asked them who was the best and most feared by opposing counsel family lawyer attorney. Without exception each one answered "Andrew Brown" with two other names running a distant second and third. When later advising my estranged wife that I had obtained counsel, did not give her his name but described him as "a human aircraft missile in a business suit"...her own lawyer told her, "the only one that could be is Andy Brown". Saying all of this, and the fact my ex-wife and lawyer tried every manipulation to keep me from retaining him..my expectations were extremely high. Throughout the 10 months of my contentious custody case Mr. Brown exceeded those expectations. He is laser focused on facts (not irrelevant emotion), solution based thinking, and never made a promise he could not keep. His attention to detail, thorough preparation and inability to be intimidated by opposing attorneys is what led to my ex agreeing to the settlement offer I made 6 months earlier a week before trial. I simply cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and commitment to getting the absolute best outcome for his client..and I am not one to give praise lightly. Lastly, please be warned that he is EXTREMELY busy and there is a good chance that you may have a bit of a wait before you have an initial consultation with him. I can assure you know that he is WELL worth the wait and as far as his hourly rate..you get what you pay for and when it comes to the well-being of your children there is no such thing as too much. Make the consultation appointment, pay the man his money, and let him do his job..and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Attorney Brown came recommended by my original attorney who no longer practiced in York and I can't say enough how happy I am he referred me to him. Attorney Brown was able to get my divorce finalized to my benefit despite a very difficult spouse. If it wasn't for him I would have had no peace from my ex while going thru cancer treatments. He gave me confidence to what I feared, for me, was a losing situation. If it wasn't for him I don't think I would have had the final results I did. I would recommend Attorney Brown to everyone. He also has a nice and very helpful staff that work with you.

I owe everything to Andy. He represented me in a child custody case and was outstanding. Not only did we win but I got more than I was expecting. He’s concise, to the point, and doesn’t take any nonsense. He and his office are very thorough and I felt well prepared on the day of the trial. Would most definitely recommend for anyone looking to come out on top.

Attorney Brown goes above and beyond. I would recommend to anyone in the York area for custody matters. Precise, diligent, and extremely knowledgeable of the law. Attorney Brown is experienced and well versed in his field. Received the outcome that was in the best interest of my child, as well as the outcome I was seeking. Focused on factors that were relevant and that he knew would matter most. I had never been before a judge and Attorney Brown was thorough with trial preparation and review of testimony to make me feel comfortable at trial. Articulate with examination and very specific with questions that were easy to understand and answer, as well clearly presented the facts of the case to the judge. I would never use another attorney. Hands down, he knows his stuff and is superior in his field. I could not have asked for anything more, his staff was also excellent with communication and keeping me up to date on what was going on.

Andrew Brown came highly recommended by another local lawyer who was handling our case in the beginning. Our previous lawyer realized a few months after we hired him that the complicated details of our custody case were beyond his own level of expertise. He took our case as far as he could go. He advised us that Andrew Brown was the attorney to call to further guide us on this particular situation because of Andrew's many years of experience and vast understanding of laws and procedures. It was a recommendation that changed the course of our pursuit for custody and the safety of the child. We made an appointment and walked into Andrew Brown's office the following week with pages upon pages of court documents and records. Andrew was able to sort through our collection of files on the spot to get a clear picture of the journey leading up to us sitting in his office. Mr. Brown led us on a clear path to an outcome that was in the best interest of the child. When I say Attorney Brown changed the course of a child's life, I'm not exaggerating. This is a child with life sustaining medical needs that required immediate attention. The resolution could not wait any longer. Andrew Brown cleared the path for the child to thrive in the best possible environment. I also deeply appreciated the ability to get into contact with Mr. Brown as needed. There were a few times during this endeavor that we were at a loss for how to proceed and Mr. Brown made phone calls, sent emails and filed paperwork on our behalf. Once he was on our case there really were no instances that I felt like we were on our own in navigating the legal processes that govern child custody. Andrew took our case all the way to a custody outcome that truly benefited this child.
