About John
Biography
Born in Toccoa, I have been a Georgian all of my life. I received a debate scholarship to the University of Georgia. I was an active participant on the University of Georgia Debate Team throughout my undergrad years, and I became the Captain of the debate team my Junior and Senior years. I received my B.A. from the University of Georgia graduating with honors in 1970. After receiving my bachelor's degree, I enrolled in the University of Georgia School of Law and received my J.D. in 1973.
While in law school, I became a Lieutenant in the JAG program in the United States Navy and became an active Lieutenant after passing the Georgia Bar in 1973. I began my local law career working for a general practice law firm in Toccoa, Georgia in 1973. I also became an Adjunct Professor of Government and taught at Truett McConnell College in 1973. In 1974, I moved to Lyons, Georgia where I was an Associate for an insurance defense law firm, Sharpe, Hartley & Newton. While in Lyons, Georgia, I had another Adjunct Professor of Government position at Brewton Parker Junior College. Since 1975, I have had my own practice, The Brown Law Office which is located in Commerce, Georgia.
My practice is over 85% litigation. I continue to focus on General Civil Litigation cases but since 1992, I have specialized in Family Law matters such as Divorce, Custody, and Child Support.
I have a wife, Ann, whom I met in Commerce, Georgia. We have been married since 1970. We have four children: Andrew, Jennifer, Ashley and Benjamin.

Tough and Prolonged Divorce
Terry Brown took on my divorce case which appeared to be a simple uncontested divorce as there was a pre-nuptial agreement. However, it quickly morphed into a complex contested divorce with out of state and international complications. The defendant was not a US citizen but did have permanent resid...

Best Attorney that I have ever hired!
Mr. Brown did a great job handling my case. He kept me informed of the current status of the case and he was well prepared in court. He really took the time to get me prepared for what I would be facing on the stand during my hearing. I highly recommend Mr. Brown!

Did a great job with my divorce!
Terry handled my divorce. It ended up taking a lot longer than it should have due to the opposing lawyer stating the same things over, and over, and over again. Terry stuck with me though and was always well prepared and concentrated on the actual issues that I believe matter in a divorce. I was e...

Above and Beyond Kind of Attorney
Mr. Brown worked on a divorce/custody matter for me. He was very straightforward from the beginning. He didn't "sugarcoat" anything so I knew exactly what I could expect, both the good and the bad. Thankfully, Mr. Brown worked his tail off for me. It is because of him that I have full custody of my c...
