Jason Charles Brown

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.

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 know...s 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.

Attorney Jason and his firm are great at what they do and know the law inside and out. My case, in my opinion, was a difficult one where lots of irrelevant details kept surfacing. Jason was able to cut through the nonsense and focus on what was important. His approach of respect gave me peace of ...mind knowing that no underhanded tactics were taking place, while at the same time knowing at my position was not compromised or hindered. In fact, I believe this style helped my case because those making decisions appreciated a fact based approach. Jason also has been in the industry for a long time. He uses this to his advantage because he knows how to formulate an argument tailored for each case and decision maker.
