Best attorney ever!

Justin is a wonderful lawyer. My wife and I didn’t know where to turn and a friend recommended Justin. Once we spoke with him he took my wife’s case. We had two other lawyers who didn’t do much and just took my money. Justin had to undo what they did and then do his thing. It was a long road and ...Justin got the 22.5 year sentence thrown out and then the judge gave her 8 years instead. Justin is a fighter and it was a long road. He brought my wife from WV to Baltimore and talked to the prosecutors and she and Justin worked out to bring my wife back to court. Myself and my wife’s sister testified and the judge basically took the 22.5 years back and gave her 8 years. She’s ready to come home any day now. I just want to relay what a great, great, lawyer Justin is. He was here for us all the way and my wife and I are totally happy with the outcome and I want to advise anyone to call Justin for any criminal case that they have.

Pure Excellence

Justin was heaven sent after going through several lawyers who were mediocre to say the least. Justin is passionate about his clients, his communication is beyond the norm, and more importantly he knows the law. Justin put his all into my brothers case. His research skills were impeccable, always com...ing up with different options and ways to approach the case. He was very detailed and thorough while reviewing the case.Justin is very respected in the courtroom and very well known for getting the job done. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney for the job. Every lawyer should take a lesson from Justin as the perfect example of being a top notch lawyer.

Legal Representation the Understands the Heart of the Matter

I have worked for trained many legal teams from small to the top 5 in my IT profession, but when came to my son's life, I call a referral of top litigator, which lead me to C. Justin Brown. After vetting a few and meeting with Justin, I knew I had made the right choice. His professionalism and compas...sion transcended into a passion for my son’s case. He even went us to surrender himself and provided wise counsel throughout the entire process. He was available to answer all of my questions. My son was not just another client/matter number, but his life mattered. I trusted him with my son’s life, and He and his legal team came through. I would recommend him for lead or co-counsel on any matter that require discernment, integrity and wisdom before the bench. Thank You is an understatement. His services were invaluable in the victory of my son's case.

Best attorney ever!

Justin Brown is an excellent attorney. He represented me in a federal post-conviction in 2011 and got my sentence reduced from 188 months down to 80 - giving me back nine years of my life! I would not be home if it wasn't for him. He took my case very personally, was always respectful and courteous w...ith me, and always kept me up to date on everything that was going on with my case. Most importantly, he fought hard for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Brown to anyone in need of an attorney - federal or state!

Review of Brown

I hired Brown to represent me. Brown exhibited unprofessional skills and lacked a thorough knowledge of his responsibilities. I would not recommend Brown to any one seeking legal representation. His skills are at best mediocre. He is not a lawyer I would trust with my life endeavors in his control.... Out of a scale of 1-10 (one being the lowest) Brown would receive a one. He's awful.

We are sorry that you were not satisfied with the outcome of your case. While I would beg to differ about your characterization of our work, I respect your opinion. I would also be happy to talk to you about your allegations and address your concerns. We cannot win every case -- no lawyer can. We handle some of the toughest cases in multiple jurisdictions and have a track record of success. We have won multiple jury trials in the past year; we have gotten multiple life sentences vacated; and the vast majority of our clients effusively praise our work. In one recent case we helped a client avoid federal prison time, avoid state prison time, and then we found him a job. Rather than spend close to 20 years in prison, he is now a contributing member of society, and he is supporting his family. Like I explained, we cannot win every case. But I am proud of our work. --CJB
