I am a trial lawyer. I practice family law. Most of my cases are in Will County, but I also have cases in DuPage County, Grundy County, Kane County, Kendall County, and Markham and Bridgeview in Cook County.
I have been practicing law for over a decade and I have dozens of jury trials and thousands of bench trials and hearings under my belt.

Lazy money hungry drunk
Joel Brown repeatedly lied to me and my family about what kind of plan he had for my custody case. Everytime we got into court he'd show up the very second court started and was sweating and making mistakes like a hungover college kid. He told me not to inform the judge or DCFS about the proof I had ...
"I have worked in the same courtrooms as Joel for several years and have known him to be honest, ethical, diligent in his practice of law. I am proud to call him a colleague."
"I have personally worked with Joel, when he was a highly respected prosecutor and I was a defense attorney. Joel is smart, ethical and an exceptionally skilled trial attorney. He was much respected by the defense bar for his candor, knowledge and tremendous trial skills. I highly recommend him."
"Joel is an excellent lawyer. I handled many matters with him as my opponent when he worked in the state's attorney's office. He always handled himself with professionalism and class. Therefore, I endorse this lawyer."
