Christopher David Brown

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 .

I wish I could give negative stars. He took a 5000 dollar retainer from me for my divorce and once i sent that money to him, i heard nothing about my case. I tried calling him repeatedly. No answer. No response. Everytime I sent him an email he charged me 30 to 100 dollars to read it. Not even a simp...le response. If I owed him money, he definitely called! DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY. Hire a lawyer who cares and will get results!

Upon hiring Mr. Brown, I felt he was knowledgeable and prepared to represent me with complete commitment. After and during drawing up the initial paperwork, filing, and eventually receiving responses from my wife's attorney, I had the continued feeling that I was always in the dark on what was happen...ing. I would continually request information, ask the status, what's next, what can we do, and it was responded to days later, or not responded to at all. I'd follow up with a second email and may or may not have received a response, but was surely charged a fee to review the follow up email... I felt like I had to continually ask questions because I was never receiving any input or feedback. As an example I get a bill that says he communicated with the opposing attorney but was never told what was discussed. What was discussed, what are we doing, do you need information from me to respond? I inform him that the opposing side is not following the temporary order and it gets brushed aside and I'm told we'll just continue to build our case with this information, yet my daughter could and is directly affected by not following the orders guidelines. It's literally a contempt issue and it is dismissed as gathering information or ammunition on my ex. I've suggested that we request interrogatories from the opposing side to collect evidence contrary to what they are saying and have no idea if we have submitted anything! At the same time we are getting bombarded with a flood of interrogatories that potentially don't even apply and all he does is forward to me and say I need to complete these requests for information. No guidance, no suggestions on reply, nothing. Just a 'forwarded email' from opposing council. I could see when we were in the court room that his approach to representation is cookie cutter and is the same for everyone he represents because the judge was not moved by his tone, questioning, objections, body language, hand gesturing or examinations. 5 figures ($) into his representation, 6+ months of his non-guidance, 1 Temp hearing that probably could have been avoided if we would have acted timely and aggressively, and I sit exactly where I started. All I saw was non-responsiveness, ineffective representation, minimal at best communication efforts and feeling like I've been falsely characterized and have been out represented without a doubt when it could have been avoided with just an honest effort to represent me as marketed. I have found new counsel. I have to join many of the other reviewers and say I would not recommend him for counsel.

I paid Christopher Brown a retainer fee of $1500 to represent me in a warrant hearing. He never returned numerous calls or emails. I sent him my court notice, he still didn't respond. I had no choice but to hire another attorney. I have reported him to the State Bar. Hopefully they will be able to ...help me get my money back.
