Divorce and Separation 40%

In some divorce cases spouses retain a friendly relationship. The unfortunate truth about other divorces is that they involve heated custody, support, or asset battles, and some may even involve physical and/or emotional abuse. In the thirty years I have been practicing family law I have seen it all and have successfully fought and achieved a fair resolution for all parties involved. My mission is to protect you and your families' best interests ensuring a better future for you and your family.

Child Custody 30%

Unfortunately, emotionally taxing custody disputes are common in family law cases. Even after an arrangement has been agreed upon major life changes can render the situation unworkable. With over thirty years of experience the emotional nature of custody disputes is not lost on me. I am here to protect you interests and those of your children. I represent clients in all stages of child custody and visitation from the outset of the divorce or custody dispute to post-divorce modification.

Child Support 20%

Child support, alimony, and spousal support are primary concerns in family law. Child support is court ordered payment to the party having primary physical custody by the party that has partial physical custody. Spousal support is a court ordered payment by the spouse who is earing more money to the party who is making less. Alimony is a court-ordered, payment from one spouse to the other after the divorce is finalized. I will fight to get you the money that you are entitled to receive.

Family 10%

Family law issues can tear families apart and without the expertise of an experienced attorney you could easily become overwhelmed by the emotional impact as well as the complex legal system. I represent clients in all aspects of family law including divorce, custody, support, alimony and property division. I meet with each client personally. There is no fee for our initial consultation and no hourly billing. I promise to show you the competence, passion, and compassion that you deserve.

Patient during my crazy case.

One of the few lawyers that are about the welfare of those involved and not ego. Payment plan, free consultations, after hour appointments, always available, always fair, and definitely the right person to have on your side during these difficult times. Navigating the family court system is a daunti...ng understaking full of emotions and pitfalls. Gordon Brown always kept a calm head and put my child first and concentrated on what was in the best for her, even if that meant not telling me what I wanted to hear. Anyone lucky enough to find him and have him take on their case should feel blessed and know their family is in the right hands. Thank you Gordon Brown ESQ for helping me with my crazy case.

Gordon Brown, Highly Reccomend

Gordon Brown handled my divorce. Divorce is not easy for anyone, but Gordon made it as painless as possible. He was always responsive, explained everything I needed to know in plain English, and handled everything that needed to be handled in a timely manner. Gordon did all of this despite the fa...ct that my ex-wife and her inept lawyer did not make anything easy; in fact, quite the opposite. He’s more than competent, he’s a great lawyer. I might have lost my mind in the process if it were not for Gordon. With all of this said, I highly recommend Gordon. If you are going through a divorce, he is the lawyer you should call.

made a difficult situation much better

Mr. Brown took the time to listen to my families problem, discuss it with me and develop a solution then was accepted willingly by everyone. We are all extremely pleased and satisfied. His fee was more than reasonable.
