Heidi Marthanna Brown

I do not live in Florida and needed advice on an Irrevocable Trust that was prepared in Florida, by my mother and her second husband. I met with Attorney Brown for advice and guidance on what needed to be done. The Irrevocable Trust, made by my mother and her husband, involved his two children and my... mother’s three children. After meeting with Attorney Brown, I retained her services. She felt it was necessary, because the trust involved two separate families, and she informed me that Florida law is very different than MI law. Once I retained her, there was absolutely no communication unless I initiated it. She had taken all the paperwork I had given her, copied them and sent them to all five of us, even though all of us already had copies (the trust papers, prenup, etc.). I was charged for the copies, for sending everything by registered mail, and for the time spent on all of this. This is an example of so many things that I was charged for. There truly was nothing that was done that was helpful. I requested a telephone call, once I finally received an itemized bill, to express my concern on all the charges totaling over $3,000. She took off $300 and said she was protecting me from being sued by “his children” or my siblings. After that conversation, I told her I did not want her to do any more until she heard from me. We did not speak again. After being charged almost $3,000, I was done! I would not recommend Attorney Brown at all!!
