Mrs

I hired Brandon Brown to defend me on an Animal Neglect charge. At our very first meeting I learned that Mr Brown is an honest and upfront person. He spoke with so much confidence. With his professionalism and how well he considered my concerns I knew he was the right person for my case and I was ab...solutely correct! I only appeared in court twice for this case and on the second round Mr Brown beat my case and charges were dismissed!!! I recommend Brandon Brown to anyone who’s looking to hire an attorney.

Atty Brandon Brown Services Review

Attorney Brown was very courteous and thorough in response to my needs. He listened to my concerns and took special measures to address the specific needs related to my brother's case. He frequently asked if we had additional questions, taking time to answer our questions. He represented us in a h...ighly professional manner, facilitating the best defense possible. Particularly, he communicated my brothers health needs to the court and followed through on our behalf to obtain appropriate considerations and care for him.

Domestic Violence Case

Mr. Brown was the lead attorney on my domestic case several years ago. I was referred another atty but Mr. Brown stepped in for him as lead council. Although I was nervous because i was unfamiliar with him, but I must say he put on one heck of a defense from his powerful opening to sealing it in his ...closing arguments. Defense was so good I didn't even have to testify. I would recommend Atty. Brown 100%

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
