Post-Divorce Modification of Settlement

Faith handled a post-divorce modification of my marital settlement that provided a win-win for both parties. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome that ended up providing an equitable solution for both parties and the least amount of disruption to my children’s lives. During mediation, I had o...riginally proposed to my former wife that she keep the marital home and I retain my retirement. Unfortunately, she originally elected to split both in spite of the fact that early liquidation of either asset would mean additional taxes and fees. The date to sell the house that was stipulated in the original agreement came and went and as I was in the process of filing contempt, we were able to negotiate an out of court settlement that went back to my original proposal of me retaining 100% of my retirement in exchange for my former wife receiving 100% of the equity in our marital home. I only wish I had hired Faith during my divorce proceedings as I am confident we would have found many similar opportunities to find more favorable outcomes. I will retain her services again in the future if I need any further legal assistance.

My Divorce Attorney is Amazing!!

I want to take a moment to provide feedback on my amazing Divorce Lawyer, Faith Brown. Not only is Faith extremely good at what she does, she personalized my experience and made me feel like she was in it with me. I genuinely feel that she felt my pain and wanted to help me. At no time did I feel tha...t she was just doing the standard "lawyer thing" which in most cases means stretching out a case to make as much money as they can. As a matter of fact, I felt the complete opposite. Faith was "very" reasonable with her charges and helped me stretch my dollars as much as she could while still helping me get through my horrible experience! I highly recommend Faith Brown as a Divorce Attorney. She is amazing and I feel the best in Bradenton, FL.!!

Incredibly professional, efficient and attentive attorney

I would recommend contacting Faith Brown to anyone looking for a divorce attorney. I reached out to Faith regarding my situation and she immediately made me feel confident that she was going to make this process as easy as possible. She was always there to offer me her professional opinion, regardles...s what day of the week it was. When the other attorney tried to negotiate a settlement that went against what my ex-wife and I agreed on, Faith stood strong, politely declined their offer and at the end of the divorce, she got what I was originally owed. Thank you so much, faith!!

Thank you, Faith!

To say that filing divorce and ending a part of your past is painful would be an understatement. However, Faith guides you through the difficult parts, offers referrals when needed to other professionals who can help, has accurate knowledge, is very thorough and very fair. She made the worst parts ...of this process bearable and was available through phone calls as well as messaging. Thank you so very much, Faith!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
