With nearly 50 years of legal experience, Karen Brown is a certified family law specialist whose Beverly Hills practice serves the broader Southern California community. Before focusing exclusively on family law in 2000, she spent over two decades as a civil litigator and entertainment attorney representing both high-profile celebrities and industry unions. This unique background informs her comprehensive approach to complex family matters—ranging from custody and move-away disputes to high-net-worth financial conflicts and prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. Known for both her strategic acumen and compassionate demeanor, Ms. Brown often counsels clients on general business and legal concerns, going the “extra mile” to achieve economic resolutions whenever possible. When litigation is unavoidable, she demonstrates a tough, tenacious style in court. Her efforts have concluded numerous trials, arbitrated dozens of cases, and saved clients considerable time and expense through creative solutions. A Smith College English graduate with a J.D. from the University of Santa Clara, Ms. Brown is admitted to practice in California’s federal courts and is an active member of the Los Angeles County and Beverly Hills Bar Associations.

Karen Brown has been a Godsend for my contentious and difficult custody case. After 5 lawyers and one hundred thousand later I got nothing and was in worst shape than ever.

Karen is very knowledgeable and highly experienced in her field of work. She truly is a professional in every sense of the word. Karen helped get my daughter back by pursuing an ex parte after the other party failed to honor our visitation agreement and refused to return our daughter to her home. Kar...
"I whole-heartedly endorse Ms. Brown. She is not only a certified family law specialist but also an excellent trial lawyer as she has over three decades of civil litigation experience under her belt. Ms. Brown knows the law inside and out, has true passion for doing things right by the children, and possess the skill set needed to try a case. I have worked together with Ms. Brown on a civil-family law cross over case with complex legal and procedural issues and found Ms. Brown's expertise in both areas extremely helpful. She is a true asset to our community."
"Karen is a Family Law Specialist with more than four decades of experience under her belt. She is the first attorney I call upon in family law matters to help clients with her reservoir of legal knowledge and tenacity. Karen is like a family with iron hands and golden heart. It is my privilege that I highly and unreservedly endorse Karen."
"I endorse this lawyer because she is highly professional, she knows the law inside and out and she has an excellent rapport with her clients. Attorney Brown represented a mother in a high conflict custody case wherein I represented the children as Minors' attorney. Attorney Brown was able to represent her client zealously while keeping the children's needs in mind. The resulting custody order was, indeed, in the children's best interest. I would be very pleased to work with Karen Brown, again."
"I had the privilege of being introduced to Karen by a fellow attorney in our community who spoke wonders of Karen's work. After talking to Karen I realized that the greatest of words did her little justice. Karen works with passion and a lot of heart and to me, these qualities are key ingredients to exceptional attorney representation. These qualities are rare and any client would be lucky to be represented by Karen. I work in another field of law and refer my own clients, who I do not entrust with just anyone, to Karen. For these reasons I endorse Karen without any reservation."
"Karen is a highly experienced and knowledgeable family law attorney. She represents her clients' best interest zealously and diligently. Her knowledge of the family law system allows her to obtain the results that her clients want. I highly endorse this lawyer."
