I deeply regret retaining Erinn G. Brown for my foster-to-adopt case, and I am sharing my experience so other foster and adoptive parents can make an informed decision. I retained Erinn on September 17, 2024, after my foster daughter's out-of-state adult sibling expressed interest in placement. At... that point, my daughter had already been in my care for more than a year and my adoption was already underway. CPS temporarily paused the process because the sibling had to be considered as a potential caregiver. I was terrified of losing my daughter, and that fear is ultimately why I hired Erinn. One of the most troubling parts of my experience was what I perceived as scare tactics. Erinn told me CPS could remove my daughter from my home, place her with another foster family, and later use her adjustment to that placement to weaken my position. As a first-time foster-to-adopt parent caring for a child with significant medical needs, this terrified me. CPS, my daughter's attorney ad litem, and the other professionals involved never indicated to me that CPS was considering doing this. Less than a month after I retained Erinn, the sibling withdrew. There was no longer anyone challenging the adoption, there was never a contested adoption trial, and my adoption process resumed. Despite this, my legal fees with Erinn ultimately exceeded $10,000. Even after paying more than $10,000, Erinn did not provide me with the Zoom link for my daughter's adoption hearing despite my asking multiple times. I ultimately received the link from my daughter's attorney ad litem. The billing experience was equally frustrating. For more than six months, I repeatedly requested billing statements from Erinn and her office so I could understand how my retainer was being applied. My requests went unanswered. When I finally received a billing summary dated June 25, 2025, I disputed the handling of $2,500 that my fee agreement described as "non-refundable, but creditable." An attorney at the law firm where I work contacted Erinn on July 15, 2025, and again on August 18, 2025, attempting to resolve the issue. Those attempts also went unanswered. I ultimately filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas. Shortly afterward, Erinn's office sent me a $2,500 check along with a Settlement and Release Agreement that initially conditioned the refund on my signing the release. I refused. Erinn later retracted that condition, allowing me to cash the $2,500 check without signing the release. Looking back, I paid more than $10,000 in connection with an adoption that was never litigated, spent months trying to obtain billing information, had to obtain the link to my own child's adoption hearing from another attorney, and ultimately filed a State Bar grievance over my experience. If I could go back, I would get a second opinion before making such an important legal decision out of fear. Based on my personal experience, I would NEVER retain Erinn G. Brown again.

Erinn did my divorce that went on for 2 1/2 years I had a protective order against my ex-husband because he had hit me. As he always did, we had several court appearances it went on for two years. And the final time they went to court Aaron didn’t even tell me show up or call me. My friend that was ...a CPA retired looked it up online and he told me and I told Aaron. She had no idea. I just thought that was odd that she was not on that case it was horrible. Then, as far as the divorce went, there was no contact ever. I gave her money and I never saw a bill never she never gave me a bill. She thought I had a lot of money and I could just give her everything .call me 713-628-1585 I will tell you more DONT hire her!!!!!!!!!

While communication was very poor after the initial consult (requesting call backs and not getting a call back) Erinn was still able to get me favorable results on a possession pg 1 case. She did spend a good amount of time with me to review discovery items. Seeing as this was my second time with the... exact same charge within 5 years of each other. Erinn was able to get me 2 years deferred and 100 hours community service, which was the exact same punishment I received in 2016 for the same charge out of Galveston County. I believe punishment in Texas usually gets more severe with each charge not stay the same. With Erinn I beat a felony and was able to keep my nursing license. Don't expect a call back, but she will show up for you to court. If you have a simple possession case or a misdemeanor case I think you'd be ok with Erinn. I was able to make a payment plan.

As the over 50% of 1 star reviews should indicate, do not hire this attorney. I had hired her for a family case for which at the beginning I was given a rah rah speech on how I had a strong case (I very much did) to win and how she was going to represent me well. The retainer was collected and afte...r initial work, there was over a year of absolutely nothing and she came close to actually messing my case up entirely. During that time I had emailed and called with no response from Ms. Brown for a 6 month period. She was very combative as were some of her people in her office. I never received any billing updates and ultimately had to fire her and hire a new attorney. DO NOT HIRE HER
