I like what we have built here at Brown Kiely, LLP. We are a family of lawyers that enjoys rolling up our sleeves and doing quality work for our clients. I like coming into the office every day because I enjoy the people here. They challenge me to be a better lawyer.
Before forming Brown Kiely, LLP, I worked at a firm in Washington, D.C. litigating commercial cases in the courts of the District of Columbia and Maryland; and prior to that I worked at one of South Florida’s premiere asbestos litigation firms. Over the course of more than twenty years, I have continued to represent individuals and businesses in state and federal courts. I have tried cases in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Florida and West Virginia, and have represented my clients’ interests in the courts of Virginia and Delaware.
I have prosecuted numerous severe injury claims and wrongful death suits and have litigated hundreds of claims representing victims of asbestos exposure. I am proud to have served as co-counsel in what is believed to be the largest individual asbestos settlement in the District of Columbia, and to have obtained tens of millions of dollars in awards and settlements for our clients.
I also routinely represent business clients in commercial disputes including breach of contract cases, brokerage disputes, and litigation involving real estate. Business cases occasionally require arbitration, and I have many years of experience in the arbitration of claims under both the American Arbitration Association guidelines and JAMS rules.
I am honored to have received Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating, an objective rating that indicates my peers rank me at the highest level of ethical and professional excellence.
I previously served on the Board of Directors of the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation and served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, National Capital Area.
My wife and I have lived in Bethesda for more than 20 years, and our children attended the local public schools. When we are not spending time enjoying our immediate community, we love to travel and explore.

A True Advocate
Here is a fact: My family lost our loved one far too early because of a contracted illness. Another fact is that before our loved one left us, he asked Dan to tell his story so others wouldn't have to suffer in vain. Dan Brown took on this tremendous responsibility and has done so admirably. Dan...
"I have worked for Dan, as outside probate counsel, on several wrongful death cases he filed over the last few years. I have been impressed with his professionalism and due diligence in the course of our work together. And, the families Dan represented in these cases have told me as well how pleased they were with his work on their behalf. I would recommend Dan to anyone who has a wrongful death claim."
"I have litigated cases with Dan over about the past 12 years and find him to be an excellent attorney. Dan exhibits a genuine concern for his clients, is well respected among his peers and judges, and is always thoroughly familiar with the facts of his case and the governing law. Dan is a true professional and always respectful of opposing counsel. He keeps us defense lawyers on our toes!"
"Dan Brown is an outstanding attorney and person. He has the perfect combination of integrity, intelligence and diplomacy and advocacy skills. While I send as many business referrals as possible to Dan, I have also trusted Dan to counsel, and advocate for, my family....which in my view is the highest compliment that can be given by a fellow attorney. I unequivocally endorse Dan."
"I have been opposing counsel to Dan. He is extremely knowledgable about toxic tort litigation. He is a well-prepared and highly succesful advocate. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dan is an excellent lawyer who works extremely hard for his clients. He truly cares for his clients and shows compassion and concern for his clients throughout the case. He is a true student of the law and gets great results.,"
"Dan is a superb lawyer. Like a chess master, Dan is always thinking several moves ahead and is thereby able to navigate his clients through complex legal challenges that others could not."
"I endorse this attorney. I've worked with Dan on several occasions and his representation of his clients is thorough, dedicated,and tenacious. He secures outstanding results for his clients and I know he is personally invested in his clients' well-being."
"Dan is an excellent litigator. He is always very well prepared and very professional. Dan is a very worthy opponent."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have been opposing counsel on several of Dan's cases. He is thorough, aggressive and very devoted to his client's cause. He is willing to go the extra mile for his clients to secure the best possible result."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Dan is a bright, dedicated, and tenacious litigator who works extremely hard for his clients and gets great results for them."
