Estate Settlement

In my experience, Mr. Brown was direct, expedient and efficient in his services. The case involved elements of fraud and questionable documents. He certainly eased the task of handling the aftermath of my mother's death. He seemed to have compassion for all parties involved.

Untrustworthy and unprofessional lawyer EVER!!!

I was a client of Matthew C Brown. Before hiring Mr. Brown, I spoke to , at length, about my case. I told him everything that my sibilings were doing with my mothers money and which accounts to research. A family member who I trust completly did all the work for Mr. Brown. He did nothing. Soon af...ter My siblings who were Trustees spent everything. The point of saying this, is that it was a very easy case for him to defend. He was and is a most disappointing and unprofessional lawyer. Before taking my money, he made many many so-called promises of all the things he would file and do to help defend me.Then, he very untacfully demanded the money----reement. He almost did not sign the retainer, but I made sure to get it signed. After he got my money, he stopped answering my phone calls. Despite the voice mails that I left him, he never returned my messeges. I found out two days ago he has a account in my name that was never brought to my attention. For days after that, when I called him, AGAIN, to tell him about documents that could help my case, he refused to answer my calls. Again, I left messeges, which he refused to return. It took me leaving a final messege that I'd contact the Bar Association, before he called. In fear, I called him numerous more times, which he refused to answer. He is guilty of unprofessional conduct, derelict of duties , incompetence, and malfeasance. I have written to and contacted the Bar Association, now i am hiring a estate attorney to request an accounting. Oh I still cant get a hold of this lawyer,this is sick how this lawyer thinks he can get away with this. I will make sure that I find out what he has fully done to me so that he will be held accountable for his actions.
