Not involved, available, or prepared

My husband hired him for a custody case, twice. Mr. Brown sounds very helpful during initial consultation, but does not follow through. He avoided phone calls and emails, even when we asked him how to proceed with matters. He advised us to fight for full custody, only to consult with the opposing att...orney and get a worse visitation arrangement than before. My husband lost time with his kids as a result. Mr. Brown was sent documentation such as photos, emails, screen shots, etc, but was extremely unprepared for the hearings and did not fight for our family. After many attempts to call, email, and visit at his office to prepare for the hearing, all of which he avoided, he decided to finally consult with us for 10 minutes the evening before and 10 minutes directly before the hearing. Even the judge fussed at the attorneys for not being prepared. He asked for a list of witnesses and counselors for our kids and never called them in nor asked the guardian ad listen to consult with them. Hiring him was a gross waste of our time and money.

Very Compassionate and Knowledgeable

I do not usually fill out reviews but Mr Brown deserves a review. I first met with him at a time in my life when I was nervous wreck trying to raise three children on my own while attending school and desperate to keep my children in a healthy environment, safe and nourished. Mr Brown helped me and... my family through the entire process. He took time from his family whenever I was needing to speak with him. I was only avail for meetings on the weekends but that was also the only time I had to spend with my kids because of our schedules. Mr Brown made time for me based on my schedule and he also drove to meet me where it was more convenient for me so I wouldn't have to leave my children. The kindness he showed me and my family was something my kids even recognized. I would recommend Mr Brown with out hesitation to anyone looking for an outstanding attorney with an outstanding character.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Public Reprimand issued in VA, 2008

updated on 04/09/2013

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
