Best Lawyer in San Antonio

Shawn Brown Law was outstanding in handling my personal injury case. After my car accident, I was overwhelmed and unsure of my legal rights. Knowing Shawn since we were kids I reached out to understand my options. Shawn went above and beyond to ensure I received the best medical attention while hi...s office handled the legalities. His dedication to my case resulted in a settlement that surprised me. I would highly recommend Shawn without reservations.

Car accident case

I am extremely pleased and pleasantly surprised with the outcome of my case! From day one The Law Office of Shawn C Brown kept in contact with me and always kept me up to date on every step being taken on my case, it didnt feel like I was just another case in the stack. Mirna was able to get State Fa...rm to give me more time in the rental which I very much needed. They settled everything way sooner than I anticipated and I was pleasantly surprised at the settlement I received. The staff was always wonderful and welcoming when I came by to sign paperwork. Highly recommend The Law Office of Shawn C. Brown.

The Law Firm of Shawn C. Brown is PRICELESS

I am extremely grateful and pleased with ALL of the work, expertise and passion that I received from the Law Firm of Shawn C. Brown. The professional and skilled efforts by Shawn, Analisa, and Debbie on my personal injury case resulted in a successful resolution and exceeded my expectations. As a...n expert Team, they each worked extremely hard to get the at-fault driver's insurance company, Progressive Insurance Company, to compensate me for my injuries. The Team successfully recovered additional money for me under my Personal Injury Protection coverage on my USAA policy. Additionally, they were able to get my chiropractic bill significantly reduced which allowed me to take home even more money than originally expected. My decision to trust the Law Firm of Shawn C. Brown to assist and support me with my case and to pick up the pieces from my prior attorney's work proved to be priceless. The Team successfully negotiated with the prior firm to drop the interest they claimed to have in my case which resulted in my recovery to be maximized. Thank you again to Shawn, Analisa, and Debbie! I will never forget what you all did for me. With sincerest of gratitude, Dee

Personal Injury

I had the pleasure of working with Analisa and her team, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. From the very beginning, Analisa and her colleagues went above and beyond to handle my personal injury case with care and professionalism. They worked tirelessly to ensure that the at-...fault driver's insurance company, compensated me fairly for my injuries and even helped significantly reduce my medical bills, allowing me to take home more money. Additionally, Analisa took care of the damage to my vehicle and coordinated with the insurance company to cover the repairs. She also managed to secure compensation for me while I was without a rental car, which was incredibly helpful. I truly appreciated how much effort was put into resolving every detail, and I never had to worry about the back-and-forth with the insurance company. I’m incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication from Analisa and her team throughout this entire process. They made what could have been a stressful experience much easier to navigate. If you’re looking for reliable, dedicated legal representation, I highly recommend their services!
