Christopher David Brown

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.
