Terrific lawyer, gets my highest recommendation

I came to attorney Kathy Brown on the recommendation from the Washtenaw County Bar Association. Prior to that, I spoke with a couple of other attorneys who declined taking on my case. My issue appeared to be unique in Michigan involving unexplored aspects of the law. Of all the lawyers I spoke to,... Kathy Brown was interested in my case which involved her getting out of her comfort zone. This was something the other lawyers were unwilling to do. In the months that followed as she developed my case, I got to see that she was diligent and supportive in assisting me through this whole process. I really appreciated her hard work and dedication about successfully resolving my issue. This case was not a routine legal matter and it required extensive research on her part. I was impressed about how persistent and thorough she was in her work. It took creativity and courage on her part to develop my case; a case that the court ultimately ruled in my favor. Also, her extensive knowledge of local court system, its processes and personnel was very useful in helping her effectively argue my case. For myself, I found her to be genuinely warm and caring person who understood my predicament and sincerely wanted to help me. She supported me at every step of this process with care and integrity. I am grateful that I had an opportunity to have worked with her and would highly recommend her to others.

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.
