Mark Brown is Amazing!

Mark Brown and his team of paralegals were exceptional. The results they were able to achieve for me in my personal injury case went well beyond my wildest expectations. Mark and his paralegals were efficient and always communicated in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone in n...eed of excellent legal help and advice.

Works hard for you and cares!

I hired Mark after being involved in a bad car accident that left me with chronic neck pain. His extensive experience and knowledge was crucial in helping me understand the process as I have never been involved in a lawsuit prior to this. Dealing with insurance companies is difficult at best and se...ttling a lawsuit with them is a long and drawn out process. Mark made sure I understood everything I had to provide during the process and even practiced with me so I would be prepared for the deposition with their lawyer. The insurance company initially offered a settlement that didn't even cover my out of pocket expenses. In the end, we were offered nearly 10 times the original amount because he persisted and went after what was a much more reasonable and fair settlement for his client. I highly recommend him!

Attorney you can trust!

I hired Mark Brown to handle my auto accident case that involved a traumatic brain injury and an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim. His research, preparation and litigation skills as an attorney were truly impressive and resulted in winning our case against the insurance company. The reason tha...t I asked Mark to represent us stayed true throughout the process. He acted with honesty, compassion and integrity. Whenever we had a question or concern Mark would answer promptly, professionally and with understanding. At the end of the day I was able to focus on my medical issues while Mark handled the insurance company. He never backed down and did it with integrity and honesty. I would definitely recommend Mark to my family and friends!!

Could not have gotten a better lawyer

Mark is not only an incredibly competent lawyer, he is personable, and he really listens to his clients. Although we worked with his paralegals at times, he was always available to answer questions personally. I think the best thing was that he never made promises he couldn't keep. If the outcome was... a long shot, he told us it was a long shot. Then he worked tirelessly to track down all possible resources to improve those odds in our favor. We found him at a time in our lives that we really needed a lifeline. He made sure that we never felt like "another case" and that we were taken care of as quickly and as sensitively as possible. I really am incredibly grateful to have gotten to work with him, and I hope that anyone looking for someone to represent them in similar matters turns to Mark. Trusting his expertise is the best choice you could make.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
