George MacAvoy Brown

I hired George to represent me as a victim's advocate in a domestic violence case. I was the 'alleged victim' in a situation that was grossly misrepresented from the start. He quickly identified issues that could cause self-incrimination if I were to testify. He did NOT let the prosecution bully me into testifying without the protection of immunity. Immunity was granted because of his expertise and knowledge of the law. I was given the opportunity to testify without fear, set things right, and exonerate someone who was falsely accused of domestic violence. George was direct, honest, and didn't sugarcoat anything. He was always prompt in his communication and made sure I understood my rights and my options. In short, he gave me and my family our lives back. He even held my purse when I thought I couldn't bring it with me to the stand (turns out I could. Sorry George!) If you're looking for fair, aggressive representation and someone who truly makes you feel understood, look no further. He's absolutely not afraid to win.

Attorney George did exactly what he said he would do. I had an initial consultation where I laid out the facts of my case. After that, the attorney listened and explained what he could do. He told me his experience, but more importantly, he backed his words up with action. Attorney George requested documents/details from me, contacted all the parties, and he began the legal process on time. I believe it is very important that your attorney is straightforward, prompt, and communicates with you. Attorney George kept his word, stayed in contact with the courts, and earned my payment through a detailed motion arguing my position to the court. Dealing with the justice system is very stressful for you and your family. This is not the time for the added pressure of worrying about whether your attorney is prepared. Pick Attorney George Brown if you are looking for an Attorney to fight for you and win.

When you have questions, Mr. Brown quickly responds to you, which is a huge bonus. He was easy to work with and honest with me about what I should expect. He also has a great sense of humor and made me think of lawyers much more positively. I would highly recommend him.

George is an incredibly skilled attorney, and can be relied upon to fight for you through every stage of the process. The judge for my case was adamant about sending me to prison for 23 months to 10 years. This was daunting, but George reassured me it would not be happening. I consider myself a good judge of character and skill, and was relieved as his confidence appeared merited. This was immediately proven to be the case by his actions and the subsequent results. During a my period of incarceration, he managed to get my $30,000 cash surety (i.e. no 10%, all $30,000 required) reduced. And not simply by a small percent--he got it reduced to a PR bond. From $30,000 to $0 is quite a difference. Following that, he demonstrated exceptional aptitute navigating a court system that I can only describe as chaos. First the numbers went down to 365 days in jail and 180 days of no contact with my family after release. Still quite unfortunate, but far removed from up to 10 years in prison. However, George continued fighting, and to my surprise, managed to get all no-contact orders lifted before sentencing had even occurred. I was ecstatic--I went from thinking I wasn't going to see my wife and kids for years, to leaving the courthouse with them before them before the process was over. Continuing his trajectory, George drove home win after win. They wanted me to take psychotropic medications that incur permanent damage, mandated by court order. Gone. They wanted me to enroll in "Intensive Treatment Court," which meant forfeiting all my rights and attending court every Wednesday for an undefined period of time. Not happening. Worst of all, they wanted a felony on my record for seven years, which would have eliminated my ability to continue working for that time. He got me a reduction to a misdemeanor after completion of two years probation. In short, George got me 2 years of probation followed by reduction to a misdemeanor, when I was looking at 23 months to 10 years. Highly recommended.

George Brown is not only a great lawyer he is a good listener and wants to know all detail and client view about their case and defense I feel the most important virtue about a lawyer is to be compassionate, a good listener, be humble and respectful and have ability to work with client and George has all these qualities No lawyer can will all cases but his effort to have client feel that he has addressed all layman's client defense view and has incorporated those in his expertise are win win situation. George will not disappoint you

George displays excellent professionalism, a strong knowledge of the law all while having great compassion for his client. I fully believe if it wasn’t for George’s strong knowledge of the law, my family member would have been looking at a four year felony instead of a misdemeanor. George is prompt in returning phone calls, beginning with the initial contact. He is sensitive to work schedules and is more than willing to work with his client’s schedule. Remember that you get what you pay for. George may seem like a lot of money, but isn’t your life worth it!?! I believe he is worth every dollar that was spent and I was not disappointed with him at any point during our legal process. Don’t be afraid to go outside of your community to find a lawyer. George was outside of our community and I believe that was to our advantage.

I'm from Georgia, and I'm a traveling lineman. Was arrested for felony weapon charges, while sitting in my truck in the hotel parking lot. Pure ignorance of the law, and 100% compliance, honesty, and even telling the cops that I had nothing but respect for them had me looking at charges that would very possibly cost me everything I've worked for for 20 years. This was my first jail experience, and was treated like an absolute dog. I didn't realize how unfairly you could be treated as an innocent person, even if it was just innocent until proven guilty. I was recommended to find George by a fellow inmate, one of my best friends is a lawyer in GA, he recommended George, and my mother in law who had my back, and sought out the best lawyer in Michigan, which was George. He had two felonies charges turned into a civil infraction, and $200 fine. But more importantly, I still have my house, vehicles, and the ability to continue my career, and my families livelihood. Would also like to mention that I'm a conservative redneck hillbilly from GA, and while sitting in a crowded holding cell in Macomb county Michigan, with all types and colors, that the only bad people in there were jailers. A young black man used his phone money to help me contact my wife, and every time I tried to ask anything, I was screamed at by the jailers. If it wasn't for the "criminals" around me, and all the advice, and telling me what to expect, I would probably still be in jail. I have a complete different perspective on things now, and completely respect, and appreciate criminal defense attorneys.

George was very helpful and victorious with my case. I was in Michigan for work and was approached by two officers and asked if I had guns in my vehicle. I did and let them know I did and wasn’t aware I was breaking any laws. I didn’t know that you can’t have ammo in the magazine if it’s in your vehicle. I was facing two felonies and had zero intentions of breaking any Michigan laws. George worked thoroughly to get my case dropped to only paying a $100 fine. He stayed in constant communication with me to let me know his every move all the way to the end. I very much recommend George to anyone needing a solid lawyer to stand up and fight for you.

George knows how to win and looks out for his clients. You’re paying a premium for the best protection, it’s 100% worth it. Don’t hesitate to hire George, you’ll be in good hands. He straight up saved my life.

When I got divorced I didn’t know anything about Friend of Court. I was young and I was paying my kids mother plenty on the side. When she filed for child support I sorta blew it off. My company went under so for 6 months I was not working, but I never told FOC. So since I never responded to the initial ridiculous child support and Alimony she filed asking for, it had just went into affect. So 6 months @ $6,000 a month came to $36,000 that I had no idea I owed, that is, not until I was arrested. My case because of the ridiculous amount quickly became an attorney general case. For nearly 6 years (and large in part to my own opiate addiction issues), I was treated like total garbage by the state, arrested several times, jailed, and hit with a felony. Keep in mind I had already paid tens of thousands in child support but they don’t care they’ll keep coming at you for more. Anyway like I said I was much to blame, but it is a very unfair system to say the least and I felt hopeless. Fast forward to the past two years have been sober and working full time very hard and paid 50% of my take home the entire two years but on time and did not miss any court appearances. Well I wanted to pay off the remaining arrears and try to workout a deal to be free of everything. I went to 5-6 attorneys (so called top attorneys) who didn’t want anything to do with my case and said there was nothing I could do. Until I find George. He was exceptionally professional right away, and very optimistic but also creative and willing to actually put some thought into it. Because I was still technically on probation and attached to the court, George was able to convince the TOUGHEST prosecutor in town to REMOVE my felony entirely if I paid the arrears. Sure enough I did pay it and my felony is now reduced to a meaningless misdemeanor. Because of George and his brilliance I am now able to get a high paying job again in my former industry. I was in high level executive in advertising at several blue chip companies prior to all of this, and I am as impressed with George and his professionalism and dedication as anybody I ever worked with. You are making a HUGE mistake not doing everything you can to work with George. Prior and during the process you will be treated like a decent human being, your phone calls, texts, and emails answered always in a very timely fashion, and most importantly he will do exactly what he says he will do. Can’t say enough or thank him enough.

Geroge is a great lawyer! I had a prior charge, and he was able to get my charge completely dismissed and reduced. He is very detail-orientated and attentive. George is very flexible to get your questions answered even if that means memorial day weekend! Overall, I had a great experience with George and recommend hiring him!

Attorney George MacAvoy Brown is an excellent lawyer. My Family hired him for a case. He was timely and easily accessible. He was always on top of our case, giving updates and guidance. In all our knowledge and experience of lawyers we have never met on like Mr. Brown. He’s in a league of his own. He truly cares for his clients and knows what he’s doing. We thank God for Attorney Brown!

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with George as my OWI attorney. This was a cut & dried OWI 3rd (felony) case with no loopholes, no gray areas, and nowhere to run. Add to it, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and driving on suspended. Is embarrassing to even write this honestly because I was in so deep but yet I’m proud to write this review because I’ve never been so impressed with an attorney. First off, George was very responsive. I was in big trouble so naturally I was blowing up his phone & email with questions and concerns. George made me feel like he was taking things personally, like these were his own legal issues. Replies were prompt and confidence building. We didn’t have a “way out” so we were relying on 3 things. 1. My absolute dedication to recovery & commitment to AA & sobriety. 2. George’s diligence, integrity, and complete professionalism as a legal counselor. 3. My higher power (God) orchestrating the chain of events. I’m still so mind boggled over everything I can’t even really know where to give the full credit but George’s results were “miraculous” to say the least. I started this ordeal with a different attorney who was so neglectful and unresponsive and failing miserably in representing me with a completely different case that I was absolutely convinced I’d be spending a year behind bars. My highest ambition was that I would get Sobriety Court (which EVERYONE told me was 2 years of hell) just to remain out of jail, if I were lucky. I knew I had to hire a better attorney just to achieve “2 years of hell” as my greatest ambition. I did some heavy research which led me to Kyle Bristow (Bristow Law). Kyle was already overwhelmed with cases but confidently referred me to George Brown (Lewis & Dickstein Law) telling me that George was the guy I was looking for. Let’s cut to the chase: The outcome was so impressive that my bond supervision officer called me on the phone after receiving the information on my sentencing and said (and I quote) “Erik, I can’t even believe your sentencing. This is what I do. I currently have 200 people I’m supervising with felony DUI’s and similar charges. I’d say maybe 1 in 500 cases get a reduction from Felony 3rd offense to misdemeanor 2nd offense and never with no jail time sentenced. AND YOU HAD THE ABSOLUTE HARDEST JUDGE!” I was already feeling blessed (or flat out the luckiest man alive) but that statement from that call really confirmed to me exactly how much George had really done for me. He worked his butt off! These things don’t “just happen”. For those that read this review and are looking at deep consequences; I’m not saying “George is going to get you out of it. Hire George and you’ll get off Scott free.” What I am saying is that if you really want an incredible attorney that will fight hard for you, fight diligently and courageously, one who knows the laws, knows the system, knows the players, and knows his stuff - hire George Brown. I am not going to jail. I wasn’t charged with a felony. I have 24 months of probation that is nothing more than accountability to help maintain my sobriety. That’s it. George has been added to my “favorites” in my iPhone Call List. Guess who I’m hiring to help get my driver’s license back???? I think I’ll go with George! Added note; while we were standing in front of the judge in a full courtroom and George was pleading my case, the man sitting next to my girlfriend leans over to her and asks her in a whisper “where did you find that attorney??” Thank you George…, Erik E.

Attorney George Brown is an outstanding attorney he shows that he really cares for his clients I never felt more comfortable in a court room with this man by my side, He’s definitely not afraid to win and stick his neck out for his clients superior service, I would highly recommend Attorney Brown and I consider him a highly skilled take no loss Attorney, I was very impressed with the way he dealt with the prosecutors and came out with a desired results much appreciated

In August 2019 I was charged with a crime that carried a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. I thought my life was over. I KNEW my life was over! I researched online for the best attorney in Michigan. That led me to George Brown. 5 minutes after I spoke with George he was on the phone working my case. The next day I drove down to meet him and explain my situation. He said to me “I WON’T LET YOU DOWN.” To say he exceeded my expectations is a giant understatement! Fast forward 2-1/2 years (COVID shut down the courts). For 2 1/2 years George kept me informed about everything that was happening with my case. Finally on April 7th 2022 it was time for my sentencing. I had mentally prepared myself to be in jail. George Brown was able to get me a sentence that involved ZERO JAIL TIME. The man saved my life, my family, and my business. If anyone reading this is in the situation I was in, and you think your life may be over, get on the phone right now and call George Brown. It’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made. Thank You George!
