Geraldine Anne Brown's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Gera is a colleague of mine in the Michigan Bar Association and the Michigan Forum of Estate Planning Attorneys. I became acquainted with her at the Michigan Forum meetings and by following her responses to questions asked by those in need of legal assistance. She donates her time on a regular basis to answer questions for those in need of legal help. Her responses are always professional and helpful, and she has an ability to boil down complex and confusing legal issues into terms that explain and give practical guidance to those in need of legal services."
