This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding service

Ted Brown is compassionate, pleasant, thorough and has provided our family with expert advice and service. Every trip to the office is a pleasant experience. My mother is 90, and he has been patient with our questions and concerns. His attention to detail and gentle manner make handling difficult fin...ancial situations so much easier. In addition to giving us great legal advice, he is gracious and accessible. We could not be happier with the service we have received from Ted and his whole staff.

Terrific Family Estate Service - First Rate

Ted provided legal assistance for my mother's estate in 2013 and 14. His advice was always well thought out and appropriate. As executor and dealing with death of my last parent there were family dynamics in play - and not always easily handled. Ted took them on in straight forward professional ma...nner and always came to a satisfactory conclusion. I would highly recommend his legal services.

Review of Edward A Brown

I am glad we picked this particular Attorney for our Estate Planning. We had a lot of questions and he made us feel relaxed and part of the family. The followup on forms needing to be updated with insurance companies and futher post questions have been handled very fast and we have not had one bad ex...perience.

Review for Edward Albert Brown (Ted)

Due to changes in my family, it was necessary to have the majority of my documents updated. Ted did a wonderful job of explaining everything it terms that I was able to understand. He was very pleasant and understanding throughout the entire procedure. I would not hesitate to recommend Ted... to anyone. It was certainly a pleasure working with him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
