Samuel J Brown

I am extremely grateful for Sam Brown's professionalism and efficiency while representing me during my divorce. His compassion and advise guided me through a very difficult time in my life. His referrals were top notch. I never wish this on anyone, but if you find yourself in this unfortunate situat...ion, I would highly recommend Sam Brown and his team.

Sam represented me in a very high conflict divorce and I could not have had a better advocate and counselor in my corner. Sam is extremely intelligent and was well prepared for every facet of my case. His ability to keenly recall even the smallest detail was unparalleled. I am a retired trial atto...rney and spent 23 years litigating and have rarely come across another attorney with legal the acumen of Sam combined with an engaging personality and common sense approach to every difficult issue we faced. Sam presents a tough exterior but at the same time is one of the most sincere and compassionate individuals I have ever met. He is still helping me navigate some difficult post Divorce issues. He remains my most trusted adviser and I consider him a friend. Sam is truly one of the finest attorneys I have ever known and a true gentleman in every respect.

Sam and his firm are extremely professional, competent and responsive. With this being the most difficult time in my life, Sam provided a great deal of compassion balanced by reason. He has a comforting sense of humor as well as an innate ability to counsel both legally and emotionally. I always fini...shed my meetings or phone conversations in a better state of mind than when I entered. My divorce was complex due to a complicated business and multiple assets. Sam's knowledge and resources allowed him to build a strong case for me as well as educate me in the process. He also represented me in my child custody case. Sam continues to work diligently with me through the divorce and custody appeals brought forth by my ex-husband. His staff was and continues to be wonderful as is his team of lawyers who also participated in and continue to participate my case. The communication is second to none. I always receive quick responses to all emails and voicemails and receive copies of all necessary documents. Sam is exceptional in the courtroom, quite honestly a master in his field. Yes, he is expensive but worth every penny, in my book, considering what I could have lost because I didn't know any better. I would also like to add that Sam is not one of those lawyers out to take your money. He tries to save for you where he can by delegating to his associates and tries to work real hard to settle cases before they get to court. I am absolutely grateful that Sam Brown was put in my path 2 years ago not only for my sake but for the sake of my three children. He continues to navigate this crazy course for me with patience, expertise, and resolve. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Should you ever find yourself in a complicated divorce, Sam Brown is the man to have on your side. My divorce was more complicated than average, and after two previous lawyers who did not have the experience to effectively deal with all the issues, I decided to interview new lawyers. Sam came highl...y recommended by a high powered DC law firm that worked with him in the past on complex matters. While I did interview a few other attorneys, after meeting Sam and explaining the entire case to him I felt as if he had been working on this case for a year. Sam inspired confidence, and that was exactly what I was looking for. When other lawyers asked me who I decided to go with and I said Sam Brown, they all told me I would be in very good hands. Sam will look at the case from a number of different angles and will always be a step ahead of opposing counsel. Sam was extremely sensitive about the parental alienation issues that my ex spouse was promulgating with our child and he guided me through the steps to ensure my child would have counseling and I would receive more custody/visitation time. My relationship with my child has been restored. Worth noting, Sam does not come cheap. You can spend less with other attorneys, but you won’t get the attention he gives you, and quite honestly he works faster and more efficiently than other lawyers…you might actually end up spending less money with him. If your case needs your lawyer’s full attention then you need Sam. I must also say that I was very impressed with the entire staff at Hillman, Brown & Darrow. In order to help reduce my fees, Sam had one of his associates, Marietta Warren, assist on certain aspects of the case, and she did an outstanding job for me. The paralegals, and even the receptionist, all remembered who I was when I would call or stop by and they were very helpful and courteous. When my case was completed to my satisfaction, I turned to Sam and said, “I’m going to miss you Sam.” I won’t forget the fine work he and his firm did on my behalf.
