Benjamin E Brown

I had a Zoom consulation with Ben Brown regarding how to move forward handling a divorce that was filed against me. Specifically, the legal steps in the process which I did not understand and frankly, didn't even want to know about. Mr. Brown was so kind and compassionate, listening to hear exactly w...hat I needed and offering the information that would help me resolve the divorce with minimal confrontation. He was thoughtful and offered several suggestions that gave me a starting place to move forward. We started as complete strangers over a Zoom call, but within our time together, I felt that he truly cared about my situation. He was the first step in my ability to process and take control of a situation not of my choosing. It is rare to find someone so highly qualified who wasn't interested in pushing their opinions or agenda. I felt he honestly wanted to help me find the best solution through an extremely difficult time in my life.

1. I asked for joint physical custody from the beginning. He filed my response giving my ex sole physical custody. Caused a lot of drama during the process. 2. He pressured me into signing an agreement that I couldn't live with when I took time to do that calculations on my own. I relied on him maki...ng good calculations. When we equalized income for alimony we used my married tax status for that. My taxes went up $900 a month after. And now I'm going to have to pay like $6000 in the past. Ben's response: "Well I'm not a CPA." How has this never come up? This doesn't require a CPA to figure out.
