Best of the Best!!

Hiring Marilyn Brown as my attorney was the best decision I made during the most difficult time of my life. Her knowledge of the law, responsiveness to my concerns and follow through were all stellar. She fought for a good settlement which has helped me move forward in my life. Thank you Marilyn.

Choose the Best

Even though going through a divorce was a financial disaster, it was worth every penny to get an attorney who was so phenomenal. She and her staff responded promptly to my questions and concerns, were thorough in the court documents and proceedings. I couldn't have asked for a better settlement, I ...will always be grateful she was on my side!

"Rockstar in the Legal World"

When I was searching for an attorney to represent me in my divorce, I consulted with numerous law firms and a few judges. There was one name that was consistently recommended as being the best family practice attorney: Marilyn Moody Brown. I'm so grateful that I had her by my side as the opposing ...side retained attorney after attorney to represent them. Marilyn tried to work with them, but when things turned to a fight - she beat them soundly. As one judge put it, "She's a Rock Star in the Legal World". Besides representing me well, Marilyn was a master at negotiations which kept costs at a minimum. Her effectiveness and honesty is what impressed me most about Marilyn. When motions were filed against us, she had a response filed with the court almost by return mail. When we seemed at a dead end on some issues, Marilyn was able to negotiate a settlement. Marilyn's professionalism is reflected from her entire staff. They were very kind, informative, and prompt. From the secretary to the law clerk in the back. I recommend Marilyn Moody Brown to ANYONE. Working with Moody Brown Law almost makes me want to get into a divorce again...
