Best lawyer in AZ

Bruce is very knowledgeable in AZ law. He answered all my questions and helped me get through a rough time. I wouldn't want to go to court without him in my corner. I would and have recommend Bruce.

A most difficult case...

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Bruce Brown, your team and family. I am the sister of Bruce's client Todd, and I cannot say enough for the outcome Bruce created with his mountain of experience, patience, true passion, and wisdom. I'm glad we picked Bruce ('we' meaning I had to help Todd a gr...eat deal). The price ended up being much higher than any normal divorce, but that was not because of Bruce, but the worst divorce case- I believe was said- he had seen in his 30 years experience, and many others agreed. I feel so bad for the stress this case caused for Bruce, but he never batted an eye. It's difficult having clients who barely know how to email, needed their attorney every day it seemed, and had a sister who was protective :). Bruce was understanding and gracious. One thing after another, but Bruce was spot on every time. I loved how he worded his filings, and I was in awe at the trial. Really, Bruce knows what he is doing, hits all the important points, is tough, classy, and leaves 'the other guy' speechless. My brother's case would have been impossible without such a great man and his team- it would not have been in his favor, which it turned out to be. My brother no longer can afford an attorney, it is not over yet and the situation with the children is not going as the court awarded it to go. However, the outcomes of each event this year that Bruce fought for has given us the documentation, history and proof we need to move forward with much more confidence and relief as they were in his favor. All Bruce's recommendations ended up being good ideas that helped Todd. Bruce has made it possible for my brother to patch the relationship with his children the mother managed to destroy for a time, it is starting to improve. He was able to hug his boys recently for the first time in over a year. Bruce and his team will be in our prayers and thoughts for a long time to come. Thank you so, so much for everything you endured. Bruce almighty!

I am so grateful that I hired Bruce Brown

After 25 years with my husband, I was at a loss when I was out on disability leave, and was served divorce papers. I am ever so grateful that my friend recommended Bruce. His knowledge of the laws, sincere compassion, and fighting spirit made sure that my daughters and I were awarded what we deser...ved, which is more than I thought I would even receive. I owe Bruce and his staff so much more that I could ever repay him. Justice was served.

Bruce Brown Family Law Case

I spent 2 months with this lawyer. He ended up charging me full price for the initial consult. His office kept me informed. Sent me many duplicate notices. He is not email or computer friendly. Much of the paperwork I accessed online before receiving his notification by mail. He has been practicing f...or many years and had still "never seen this happen before". He gave me a strategy, but then never gave me a direction to go. He was played by the other lawyer and gave him more information to use against me. I think he may have been pretty good when he was younger, but not very agresive anymore. Just seeks to bill his clients for every second.

This person sounds like he or she would complain no matter what. For example, "He gave me a strategy, but then never gave me a direction to go." What???? Isn't a strategy a direction to go? I have been practicing for over ten years and, in my experience, this sounds like a client who either messed up his own case (note that Bruce only represented this client for two months - can you say "last minute hire?") or the case just didn;t go his or her way and now seeks to blame the attorney with petty, anonymous comments online.

Posted by Natalie | January 16, 2015 | Child Support

I trust him with my life and my son's

GREAT EXPERIENCE! I have recommended 3 more of my friends to Bruce for child support/parenting time issues. He is very friendly, knowledgable, has a great demeanor and makes me feel comfortable and confident when asking any degree of questions. His staff is friendly and efficient. I wouldn't go anywh...ere else. Bruce and his staff respond to correspondence and requests quickly.
