Excellent lawyer
Mr. Brown helped guide me through the unfamiliar and daunting process of a DUI conviction. He was extremely professional and thorough in dealing with my case, and his office helped me feel at ease.

"Both Phil Brown and his wife Mary are excellent criminal defense attorneys. Each brings with them years of experience as former prosecutors along with a high level of dedication to and passion for their chosen profession. Any client would be lucky to have this team in his or her corner."
"Philip Brown is as aggressive and smart a lawyer as I know. I have known Phil since he was studying to earn his LL.M. advanced law degree in Criminal Law almost 20 years ago and have since seen him as both a fierce prosecutor and a tireless defender. His highly competitive nature makes him well-suited to the adversarial nature of our criminal justice system and an effective advocate."
"Phil Brown is an exemplary example of what an attorney should be – dedicated, hardworking and brilliant. I absolutely endorse this attorney."
"If I had to choose one word to describe Phil Brown as a criminal defense attorney, it would be "tenacious." Whether he's arguing a critical motion in a life sentence case or appearing on a routine status check, Phil Brown doesn't stop fighting for his client until he gets the result he wants."
"Mr. Brown provides personal service to each and every one of his clients. He advocates strongly in every case and achieves outstanding results as a result of his extensive knowledge and expertise."
"Phil Brown is an outstanding, tenacious legal advocate. I have personally seen him engage in some of the fiercest legal battles in Las Vegas. If you have a case that requires a fearless fighter and powerful legal mind, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Brown."
"I've been able to work with Phil on quite a few cases and in each instance, I've been very impressed. Phil is always a zealous advocate for his clients and is willing to litigate every last issue, thereby ensuring the best defense possible. Phil never backs down from a fight when his client's rights are at issue. I consider Phil one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Las Vegas and give him my strongest endorsement."
"Phil Brown is a tenacious litigator who will pull out all the stops to get his client the best possible result. Mr. Brown knows how to work within the system when that is in his client's best interests. But, he is also not afraid to fight when that is necessary to the best interest of his client. Mr. Brown is exceptional at identifying legal issues and defenses and presenting those issues persuasively to the court. Mr. Brown is an excellent criminal defense attorney and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking aggressive criminal defense."
"I've worked with Phil as co-counsel on a number of very serious criminal cases and also opposite him when he was a prosecutor. It goes without saying, I'm glad that he's on the defense side now. A person would be hard pressed to find a fiercer more tenacious advocate than Phil. He has no problem aggressively advocating every conceivable issue for every client. When you're fighting the government, you definitely want Phil in your corner. If the prosecution secures a conviction against him, they definitely have to do their homework and work for it. I wholeheartedly endorse Phil Brown."
"Phillip was one of the finest prosecutors in Clark County. Fortunately for the defense bar he has joined our ranks. Phillip is an exceptional lawyer that uses this tenacity to ensure that his clients are well represented. His former career allows him to observe the smallest cracks in the prosecution's case."
"I endorse this lawyer. Phil is a diligent lawyer and gives the very best representation to his clients. His word was always good as a prosecutor."
"I worked with Phil for many years in the DA's office. Nobody cares more about their cases and works harder than "Freedom Phil." Anyone who hires Phil hires an exceptional Criminal Defense lawyer."
