Christopher David Brown

During my divorce and child support cases Mr. Brown along with Mrs. Boubour were excellent attorneys. They walked me through the process and kept me well informed about my case. They gave great counsel and advice as their client. I would highly recommend Mr. Brown and his associate Mrs. Karen Bourbor. They are caring professionals and they know the law, and will do what is best for their clients.

Chris got my divorce done quickly! I was a client of Chris Brown and Karen Barbour with Miller and Brown in Fayetteville, Georgia. They "held my hand" throughout the process during a difficult case involving child custody. I am relieved to say I have custody of my son, and my child support order went into effect almost immediately. The entire divorce lasted less than four months, which may not always be possible in every case, but it's notable. Chris was an aggressive attorney, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I was a hard client, because of my situation, but they seemed to genuinely care about my concerns. I would recommend Chris Brown and Karen Barbour.

I hired Chris Brown for my divorce. I consulted with him twice before retaining him. He was very adamant that married couples should be able to work out a divorce themselves, and heavily encouraged an uncontested divorced. (This was in stark contrast to other attorneys I consulted with, who right away were told me everything I could do to fight in court). My divorce dealt with adultery (where I had written and video proof and the ex admitted it) and financial abuse (I had some proof). Chris still was adamant that uncontested was the way to go. several acquaintances of mine used chris. Three had used him for an uncontested divorce, and had good experiences. One used him for a contested divorce (also due to the spouses’s adultery). That person said he was good during the divorce, which was successful in mediation, but once the divorce was over it took over 5 months to file some final papers. And in the end, that person was not happy with Chris due to that delay. I felt that I needed someone to be my voice in the divorce, and fight for me on my behalf, so I filed contested with Chris. We were also successful in mediation and didn’t have to go to court. Like my acquaintance, do I think Chris was good during for the divorce? Yes. The outcome of the divorce (my settlement from exspouse) was about what Chris thought it would be. I got exactly what I wanted for child custody. Chris argued successfully on my behalf during mediation, and ensured that our requests were reasonable while still ensuring I was taken care of. The divorce was very difficult and emotional for me. If we weren’t successful in mediation, and had to go to deposition, Chris said he would’ve suggested that I not be present when he deposed exspouse and paramour. Like my acquaintance, do I think he took forever with paperwork? Yes. 100%. After mediation, ex spouse and I immediately acted on the steps outlined in mediation. (Separation of assets, exspouse paying me spousal support, child visitation, etc.). But it took six months for Chris to file the final papers with the court. I wasn’t in a huge rush, but it delayed ex spouse’s plans with the paramour, so I received angry texts about the delay. I also experienced issues, throughout the process, where I would call and/or email for an update, and never hear anything back. Sometimes for weeks. This seems pretty common with attorneys from what I hear. However, if something was important, he did get back with me very quickly. When I emailed him early on in the divorce that ex spouse (who had moved out) was scheduling realtors to come to the house to price it for sale, Chris called me back right away. He told me we were NOT placing the house up for sale. Divorce is a life changing event for the client, but it’s just another day for attorneys, Chris included. I felt like he’d fight for me, but I could also tell that all of this was routine for him. Nothing surprised him. Recently, I met someone whose exhusband used Chris for their divorce. Their divorce went all the way to court, and she said when Chris was questioning her on the stand, he made her cry. I was glad that I didn’t have to go to court, but it was good to know that if it did go that far Chris would fight the good fight for me. (And perhaps make exspouse and the paramour cry, which would’ve been nice also).

DO NOT HIRE MR. CHRISTOPHER BROWN TO REPRESENT YOU unless you want to waste your time and money. Due to unnecessary delays and poor communication, I lost my case. I hired Mr. Brown for a contested divorce and it’s good that he knows everyone in court including the court reporters and judges but what is not good is his strategy which is basically to discredit the other party and confuse them with dates and times. If the other party have a stronger lawyer and better strategy then they’ve won which is what happened in my case.

I hired Mr. Brown a warrant hearing and had no problems . Then when I ask him if he would file a civil suit he told me " sure I'd be glad to take your money ". I thought that sounded weird but after I paid him $2,000 I received a letter informing me that harassing the secretary would not be tolerated. I never harassed his secretary and I waited over 3 months to hear something . Finally I called check a d she told me no one had filed a civil case on my behalf . Then I find out that he dont even handle civil cases . Called 3 times was told he would call back each time and have not heard a peep. Am thinking of making a sign and March around near his office to warn others not to make the same .mistake .
