Jason Charles Brown

I've retained Jason's services several times since 2007 for family court issues. He helped me with my divorce and two mediations that, ultimately, gave me 50/50 time with my daughter. He's patient, thorough, and his knowledge of the law combined with his experience in navigating the court system make him an excellent advocate for his clients. Not only is he able to use current laws to obtain the best outcome for you, he's able to piece together disparate aspects of your particular case into one complete picture. However, Jason's not a wizard. He doesn't have a magic wand, so don't expect magical outcomes if you've truly painted yourself into a corner. One of the best things about Jason is he's not afraid to tell you if an idea you have is a bad one. Jason's candor on whether the outcome would truly benefit you is one of his more valuable assets to you, the client. This is what makes a great lawyer. Lawyers are not there to do your bidding. This isn't a retail, service oriented business. If you don't listen to your lawyer, you roll the dice on what the judge may rule if you plan on going to trial. Jason is all about keeping things out of the courtroom as much as possible. This is because he's smart enough to know that once you're inside the courtroom, things get unpredictable. However, if you do go to trial, Jason is the guy you'd want in your corner. Jason is also very good at working with you in order to save costs. There's a level of trust that, understandably, needs to be built, but Jason would let me take the reigns on drafting quite a few aspects of my cases. This saved me a boatload of money and Jason would oversee the final preparations to make sure everything was good to go. Of course, he's more than happy to take care of everything for you as well. He's great at building a relationship with you, the client, which helps him navigate the best way to work with you. My one tip regarding Jason is that, unless it's an emergency, it may take him a few days to get back to you on something. He's usually very responsive, but if he's in court, expect to give him some time to get back to you. This isn't a negative ding, it's just the nature of his work. I've found that if I was prepared and planned ahead, I had absolutely no trouble getting in touch with him. Conference calls were always on time and he respected my time when the clock started ticking. I've recommended Jason to other people and will continue to do so.

Jason and his staff are very good at their jobs. Always available to answer questions in a timely manner. Jason is very fair and doesn't charge random fees for every little thing. He was willing to offer me advice when I had a court date regarding my divorce, when I couldn't afford a lawyer. He knows the law and has the experience to be the best lawyer a person would want. And he is a good person. I have referred him to many people and they have been happy with his service.

I used Jason for my recent divorce and I have nothing but great things to say about him and his firm. They were responsive, kept me informed every step of the way, and were there for me as a solid resource during a difficult process. I highly recommend Jason and his team to anyone going through (or considering) a divorce!

Not being familiar with all that is involved in the intricacies of divorce Jason was a great teacher and knows his subject matter thoroughly. I had a very difficult divorce, in my opinion, and Jason made sure we were always moving forward in a positive manner while keeping me informed of the process and what to expect next. I felt Jason also had unique ideas and solutions to problems that popped up and was always thinking outside of the box. He researched my case thoroughly and I felt I was very well represented by Jason. By the end of the divorce I was very well pleased with the outcome and feel that I have been able to move on with my life happier and quicker than if I hadn't been represented by Jason and his team.

I am grateful that Jason was on my side of my post-divorce issues. He was very knowledgeable, listened to what I wanted and advised me about what would/could happen. He calmed my (many) fears about all the unknowns of the legal process. I felt he truly cared about the welfare of my kids. I would (and have) recommended him to anyone who wants a compassionate, down to earth person to represent them. I would hire Jason again without hesitation if necessary.

Mr. Brown helped navigate me through a painful and unwanted divorce. I felt he listened to me and represented me well through what was a intimidating process.

Jason was very attentive and listened to what I wanted to accomplish with my divorce. He made it simple and helped me to minimize my costs and the length of time spent on my divorce. He is a very good lawyer and very knowledgable

While I respect Jason as a professional attorney, it became very clear early in our relationship that his first priority was collecting a lot in legal fees and not following through on my requests. Just prior to ending representation, he wanted to collect a $25,000 retainer. During our court proceedings, opposing counsel aggressively made demands. Jason failed to counter aggressively, which meant my pleas were never adequately heard by the court. And opposing counsel wasn't forced to provide support for their unsubstantiated claims. I would recommend you find someone who will aggressively fight for your rights. Jason unfortunately has other priorities.

I hired Jason because he seemed like a nice trustworthy person. However, it was a huge waste of money. After spending close to $20,000 on legal expenses I realized that the judgment from the judge couldn't have been worse if I represented myself. Throughout the two-year process Jason reassured me that maintenance would not be an issue in a case like mine, however I ended up paying $500 a month. And that's on top of child support. In conclusion I wouldn't say that Jason is a terrible lawyer but I would say that having the lawyer did not help me at all

Jason Brown struggles with being honest. Jason follows money is the money. He doesn’t follow his fiduciary responsibility as a Minnesota attorney. . Instead, he is consumed by greed from case after case. Instead of doing what’s right, he will follow his clients instructions regardless, if they’ve been convicted of child abuse. I noticed if you look at Jason Brown’s Google, Avvo and Lawyers.com reviews, he has MANY one star reviews and in many of those he responds with similar zero accountability response. Thing is all of these cases are public record. Don’t take my word. So many one star reviews.. Instead, I encourage you to read his responses, pull up his cases, and you can read how instead of taking accountability, JasonBrown just denes it al. If you take the time, you can read and verify that is one star reviews have validity to them. Jason Brown is not a good MN lawyer, and I sadly have also seen fist hand the lengths Jason Brown will go to protect his now convicted child abusing client. Jason helped her get away with it for six years. It took CPS getting involved many times and then she was finally convicted.

Jason Brown Probably the worst divorce attorney [if you can even call him that] that ever existed. I started out at his firm with a wonderful female lawyer which was what i preferred. i did not want a male lawyer. also tried to save money by going with a Champlin firm vs a Minneapolis firm. so not the case!!!!! charged the same or more than Minneapolis lawyers. Apparently I was too emotional [which is entirely normal for a woman who is being dumped by her husband of 21 years] and she turned my case over to Jason Brown who did not even care about my case. All our calls were on speaker so i was made sure that i would not get emotional. he put me on hold to respond to another call which was to my husband's attorney.. when i asked him how the call went he said they were laughing together - not what you want to hear from your lawyer. Anyway, needless to say with this guy, he was not, so not there for me during the whole process. I literally felt like i was representing myself. Kinda wished I had my husband's attorney!! Message to women going through a devastating divorce. DO NOT GO TO JASON BROWN FOR LEGAL ADVISE!!!!! A HUGE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!!!!! After the divorce was finalized [no help from him] I had to go to his office so he could read my entire decree to me. What, like I wasn't able to read it myself? And of course charged me for the time. Meanwhile construction workers were running around updating his Law Office at what looked like to be at a great expense.. Anyway - looser! Waste of money. Not a care to what you are going thru. Hugh waste.. Terrible attorney, if you can call him that.. Ladies, there are so many great lawyers out there.. Pay the extra, it is so worth it.. Good luck!!!

I filed for divorce after my husband was arrested for domestic assault. Jason represented me in my divorce and in my order for protection hearing. I owned a condo that I purchased from my parents on a contract for deed. During the divorce process, we asked Jason multiple times about the condo, and his response was always, "Don't worry about it. Your husband has no legal claim on it because you bought it on a contract for deed and his name was never on the title." He was wrong. I recently sold my condo and at closing, the title company told me that my ex-husband still had marital interest in the property because Jason did not ask opposing counsel for a quitclaim deed. Jason also bungled my divorce decree and did not specify that ownership of the condo was being transferred to me. I explained to the title company that my husband was arrested for domestic assault and there is a permanent no contact order in place for my protection. They told me to ask my divorce lawyer to draft a quitclaim deed, send it to opposing counsel, and tell them to have my ex-husband sign it. We reached out to Jason twice and he never responded. I am truly astonished by his unprofessionalism. Jason's lack of real estate knowledge almost cost the sale of my condo. In the end, the title company generously drafted a quitclaim, and my parents reached out to my ex-husband, who agreed to sign it. We still haven't heard back from Jason. My divorce cost over $20,000 and we didn't even go to trial. One of my friends represented himself in his divorce and put the correct real estate wording in his divorce decree. This is extremely frustrating. I was very poorly represented by Jason.

The following is a personal opinion. My case was started with a junior attorney on staff. I felt a connection and more importantly I trusted them. Part way through my case Jason took over. He led me to believe he could get better results. All I got was a larger bill and after many failing, I began to distrust him personally. Feeling like you aren’t getting good legal advice is one thing, believing you are being manipulated just to collect more legal fees is another. His goal seamed to be collecting a lot of fees and not following up on my requests. During pretrial the opposing counsel were aggressive. They asked for numerus documents and proof of income and most egregious my monthly expenses. Which Jason insisted I provided even though none of these were reciprocated by the other side. When I asked why it was anyone’s busines how much I spent on Gasoline, food, clothes etc. He said it showed openness. It took a lot of time to assemble and document these; more billable hours. I personally felt he was more worried about how the judge felt about him. He wanted to look good and let my case slide through the judge’s case load with ease. This would make both their lives easier; my case was secondary. Home studied, personality tests. My child was interviewed! My goal, from the beginning, was primary custody. The opposing side wanted 50/50, from the beginning. Very near the end (we were at the courthouse) my original lawyer (junior in the office) came to me and said the ‘word in the court house’ was that my judge always gave 50/50 unless one party was completely irresponsible. Why hadn’t he felt the judge out months ago? Jason insisted we continue in court, and was able to bill more hours. $$$$$$$ It all ended in 50/50 and the judge assigned how the time would be divided. The judge imposed every other holiday. Jason even screws this up. He made out the list and forgot to included Memorial and Labor Day on the list. Even though I had requested they be included as holidays. I could have gone before the court and got the same deal representing myself and saves +$20,000. Having a lawyer did not help me at all! Jason goes though the minimal effort just to billing hours. If you want someone who will aggressively fight for you, I recommend another firm. Jason’s priorities are in his self-interest not yours.

I just wrapped up my case a month ago with Jason and "his team". Not only were they not helpful in my case, as they passed my case around their office, I had to spend money explaining the facts and updated circumstances multiple times, costing me more time and money to his firm. I did not receive timely responses and it was clear that they do not work well and their case load is far too large if you are looking for attention to detail. I regret using them as they are priced on the higher end, and should have went elsewhere for my resolution.
