Charged $1500 and 10 months later... Hiring Someone Else.

When meeting Mr Brown, we wanted to believe the good reviews, however, we are now out $1500.00 and should have believed the negatives. Mr. Brown has been a no show to court on 3 out of 5 occasions - greatly lengthening the time the kids haven't been seen by their father - the opposite task Mr Brown w...as hired to do. He made great promises of being able to easily resolve the issue, told great stories of being respected and feared in family court....how when you show up 2 out of 5 times? Mr Brown should have been honest with us...and with himself- he's washed up. His health affects his ability to do the job, can barely climb the courthouse steps. Barely speak to the judge without being out of breath. No communication - expect to chase him around by phone and email. When we fired him, his front desk lady said "I don't blame you". We had to find out he wasn't coming to court from the other party's lawyer - didn't even bother texting his client. We got the excuse of being sick, got the excuse of not being able to find contact information ( except it's on every court paper sent to his office ). We were told he couldn't attent court because he was in the hospital ... I called and asked to speak with him, only to have his desk staff tell me he couldn't talk because he was in court. Save yourself the time and Money - Don't Hire this Dumpster Fire.

Divorce and custody

I used David's office 7 years ago for a divorce and had an excellent experience then. Then recently worked with Mr. Brown himself on a custody matter. He was professional, helpful, and available for all my questions and concerns. Him and his office will continue to get our business for years to co...me.

Atty Bown has expertly handle many cases for me

He has extensive knowledge of the law, everything from elder law, divorce court, child support - referee court, circuit court, criminal defense .His competency in the court room is exceptional. He makes your case his number one priority. His success rate is outstanding. He’s the Attorney you wa...nt in your corner defending you . Which is why I have always depended on Atty Brown to defend me and my family time and time again.

We have used his services twice and been very happy!

Mr. Brown has handled 2 matters for our family and while he can sometimes be difficult to get a hold of he does do after hours appointments and will spend as much time as you need going over everything. We had a lot of questions regarding a particular matter and the best way to get them answered was ...to sit down with us, we met for over an hour on a Saturday (to accommodate his schedule) and we were billed for one hour of regular time. He has been great to work with, and while he doesn't look or act like a stereotypical lawyer, he knows his stuff!
