TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY

My wife and I had just retired from a career in Law Enforcement when we were almost killed on I-4 in Datona Fl while riding our motorcycle at Biktoberfest. After finding out that the car that hit us had no insurance, we then found out that our own insurance was trying to get out of paying the bills.... It only took one call to Steve Brown and things started to get handled. Having dealt with many Attorneys as Police Officers we found that Steve Brown is unlike any other lawyer, the man cares about his clients. Attorney Brown always had time when we called to answer any questions and made sure that we were paid back for all of out of pocket cost we paid. When talking to Attorney Brown he never made us feel like just a client, we always felt as if we were long time friends. We would recommend Attorney Steve Brown to everyone as I'm sure they won't be disappointed.

Throw out your preconceived notions about Lawyers...

Lets face it, some individuals have a poor perception of Lawyers. As a child I was always told to never sue people (its not kind) and definitely to never trust a lawyer (they will swindle you). I am pleased to share that Steven C. Brown is one lawyer you can trust. At 23, I was employed in the Te...ch industry, recently purchased a new home and was pretty into the triathlon scene. But that all changed when I was in a car accident on my way home from work. That event literally turned my life upside down. On long term disability and unsure of the future, a friend recommend Steve to my family (I was in a medically induced coma) Steve dropped his Christmas travel plans and drove over an hour to meet with my distraught parents. He consoled them, explained their options and was on his way. After waking up and being discharged, my parents told me about Steve and I immediately said "NO!" (Little did I know the amount of medical bills coming my way) Steve sent over one of his staff to talk to me about proceeding and he calmly explained the whole legal process to me. I agreed to meet with Steve in person and we started on uncharted territory for my entire family. So now you're wondering, how long does a typical case take? Steve is different because he takes his time in each of the legal phases to acquire the best experts. In a few months I had several tire experts and enough data to read and keep busy as I recovered at home. I wanted to be really involved with the data collection and I was happy Steve was so transparent. After 4 months, I returned to work and proceeded with life as the case moved in the background. Steve and I would exchange calls every few months to say "What's Up?!?" I eventually moved to DC for an assignment. It was 4 years later that I flew down to FL and settled my case with the defendants. Steve always had a plan and I am grateful for the experience, even though it originated with a terrible accident.
