Mr Brown was recommended to me by another attorney for my specific case. Since I am a person of color, I was cautious. He met and exceeded my expectations. He was empathetic and available when my son, who has a mental disability, or myself had questions or concerns. His expertise with the mental court resulted in a desirable outcome. I highly recommend him as an attorney.
While many would advertise free consultation to invite you to the office, Mr. Brown answered my questions via email for free. His professionalism and ethics is outstanding. Hence, i offered to pay for his prompt services, he decided not to take advantage of my financial situations. Thank you Mr. Brown.
Very Grateful

Attorney Michael S. Brown has almost a decade of experience in criminal law. He attended the University of Florid, earned his Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Warrington College of Business and is a proud Gator. After getting his economics degree, Michael moved to Orlando to attend the Florida A&M College of Law. During law school, he helped at the local legal aid, volunteered at the Public Defender’s Office, and was a Certified Legal Intern with the State Attorney’s Office in Seminole County.
Mike then became a prosecutor for the Ninth Judicial Circuit in Orange County in Orlando, Florida, where he practiced over five years. During his time at that office, he handled thousands of cases from ranging from any misdemeanor including battery, violations of probation cases, theft, DUI, trafficking, drug possession to DUI Manslaughter. Michael was able to craft his skills in motion practice and conducting jury trials.
Mike became a lawyer because he was always driven to help people and has the drive to be in the Courtroom protecting people’s rights. In addition to his legal experience, he enjoys volunteering his time in the community. He has been a member of the Orange County Bar since 2009 and has served on several committees. He is a board member of the Skobel Charitable Foundation and has been a Teen Court Judge and Jury advisor. As a Teen Court Adviser, Michael helps kids who have made a mistake, trains future lawyers, and spends additional time in the Courtroom. He has been recognized by the Orange County Bar and the Florida Supreme Court for his pro bono work. In his spare time, Michael enjoys watching Gator Football, seeing movies, trying new restaurants, and enjoying time with family and friends.

Thanks Attorney Brown!
I hired attorney Brown to represent me for a traffic ticket. My biggest fear was that that I would get points on my license. Thanks to his great work I didn’t get points nor did I have to complete the online course. Attorney Brown provided me with excellent customer service, I would HIGHLY recommend him!

Disclosure
I obtained the services of Mr. Michael Brown to clear up a 1986 arrest record that was flagged by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation as an unresolved issue. I had tried for the past year to clear this up on my own through various agencies within Florida only to be handed off or delayed. When I spoke to Mr. Brown, he listened to what I was trying to accomplish, came up with a plan of action and within 1 week got results. All of this on a 33-year-old case with an out of state client. Great Work!

Michael Brown is excellent at his job and compassionate towards his clients
I hired Mike Brown earlier this month because of a criminal defense case that I had no idea how to handle. I called him and was convinced after talking to him that he truly cared for my case and wanted to do all he could to help me solve the issue as quickly and effectively as possible. He has been helpful through the legal aspects that I could not understand, and has been generous even in the payments required to hire him. Overall, Mike has been great to work with and I would recommend him to everyone.

Best man for the job!
I was in jail and the state gave my mother and fiance the wrong time for court. Mr.brown saw my mother and fiance in the courthouse crying and offered a hand. He then became my lawyer, we fought and won my case, little did I know this lawyer would become a friend. Very kind man, who still keeps in touch with me and my family just to check up and make sure everyone all good. I would use him a million times over. Very impressed with his service and dedication to his clients.
