George MacAvoy Brown Representation

Attorney Brown successfully defended me against a Domestic Violence charge that went to trial. The case ended in an acquittal from the charges leveraged against me, In addition, Attorney Brown successfully represented me for the Child Protective Services investigation associated this the Domestic... Violence charge. I would highly recommend Attorney Brown for criminal representation!

Expungement Won

Back in 2005 I plead guilty to 1 count of embezzlement over 20,000. In 2012 I applied for and expungement and was denied. This year 2018 I applied again applied for expungement again. George was my attorney at Lewis and Dickstein. They were the same firm I used when I pleaded guilty to embezzlemen...t and they handled my first expungement hearing. I had never met George he called me on the phone and emailed me introducing himself. He let me know this was not going to easy because I was denied the first time. He never promised me a thing but was always optimistic and letting me know he was on top of things. Every time I sent George an email or left a phone message he responded to my message. Letting me know he was working on things and what he was doing. He told me what I had to do. George was very easy to talk with he never used any legal language. I had never met George before but way he communicated with me it was like I was his only client my friend. I first met George on the date of my expungement hearing. George laid out what his strategy was going to be. He said we was going to listen and plead my case and go from there. He said he was going to argue it unless he had to. I live in a very rural area people in my area look down at big city attorneys. George really fit it. He talked with the prosecutor before my case and court personal before the hearing. He pleaded my case and my expungement was granted. George never seemed like a lawyer more like a best friend. Someone who really cared about what he was doing and about my case. He was really easy to talk with. I would recommend George and law firm Lewis and Dickstein in a heart beat.

SHARP, ON TASK, GOES THE EXTRA MILE and did it all ELOQUENTLY

I retained George Brown with the hope that he could make a miracle happen. My past criminal record that included 12 felonies, 4 prison terms and 8 misdemeanors, doesn't play a good highlight reel. Negotiating for a plea agreement seemed like a fairy tale myth. But not only did he find a legal basis t...o negotiate a plea deal, he also found a hole in the prosecution's case that would have had a good chance of acquitting me at trial. He honored my wishes for pushing a negotiated Cobb's Agreement and against all odds pushed it across the finish line - PROBATION, NO JAIL!! I in all my 61 years of life have never witnessed an attorney aggressively handling my case, fighting for me, always being 10 steps ahead of the prosecution, caring about me and my future and effectively executing a well thought out defense plan to my benefit. What a GREAT ATTORNEY. He gave me my life back.

Thank you, sir. It was an honor getting to know you and your wife. Your criminal record certainly played heavily into the prosecution's position as well as the judge's interpretation of your character. I am glad that, despite those constraints, we were able to convince both that you are not a man who is necessarily defined by past misdeeds. I commend you on your dedication to self-improvement and am happy you are now where you belong: at home with your family.

Phenomenal Lawyer!!

I read the reviews before I set up my consultation with George Brown. The reviews were absolutely true. I was facing probation violation for a felony drunk driving with multiple accusations. I was facing 3-15 years. This man handled my case with absolute professionalism, supported my wife and I throu...gh our worrying and fears. He honestly somehow found a way to make us feel at ease. He went in calm and fought hard. I walked out of the courtroom with no fine, one year probation extension and NO JAIL TIME!!!! If you think you need help with an issue in your life, don’t take just any lawyer, get the best....George Brown. His professionalism is unmatched. He answers his phone EVERY time you call, he was never short with me or my wife. Simply a great guy and amazing lawyer. If you want the best representation, hire George Brown.

Firearms storage

I contacted George for a consultation about how to properly store firearms in order to prevent possession by a prohibited person. After thorough research, he issued a memorandum that clearly and completely outlined all of the precautions and actions that needed to be taken to lawfully do so. He was e...xtremely helpful, and promptly answered any and all questions that I had about the memorandum, and any additional questions that arose as a result of the discussion. His advice was issued in a way that was easy to understand, and specific on how to apply and document it. I will definitely utilize his expertise again for any future concerns or questions regarding this matter or any other legal matter that falls within his area of specialization.
