This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Divorcing with children.

For clarity, Ms. Brown represented my former spouse; I was self-represented during part of this case. Ms. Brown represented my former spouse during a custody matter in which I was self-represented for a period of time. During the proceedings, two of my children experienced serious physic...al difficulties, including mobility issues that required extensive medical evaluation. I repeatedly raised concerns about their well-being, but I felt those concerns were minimized in written communications. over 9 doctors involved Based on my personal experience, I believed my children’s medical issues were not handled with the level of care I expected in a case involving minor children. This raised concerns for me about how children’s best interests were prioritized. Family law attorneys hold significant influence over outcomes that affect families and children. This experience was deeply distressing for me as a parent. I’m still suffering heartbroken over my children’s limitations. This review reflects my personal experience and perspective. — heartbroken father. children in and out of wheelchairs.

A Lawyer Who Cares About Her Clients

I hired Ms. Browne when my life was falling apart. My marriage collapsed, I was having problems with my kids, my work was suffering, and I felt like I was losing my sanity! I hired Ms. Browne to help me with my divorce and having her each step of the way was the best decision. She helped me get child... support, spousal support, the house and most of all having her handle my case helped me focus on what I needed to do at work and at home. She is not intimidated by other lawyers and our Judge always spoke so highly of her. She got result and was fair and showed me she cared.

Best decision I made for me and my kids

I knew from our first meeting that Ms. Browne cares about her clients and knows how to get results in court. She helped me through the divorce and custody battle. Thanks to her my children and I can start over.

Don’t trust her!!!

Absolutely untrustworthy... I hired Ms. Browne for my divorce ended up firing her within a month. She accumulated $10,000 in a matter of a month in attorney fees and ended up back to square one. She will literally eat you alive with no results!

Bad choice

Great talker but little to no action on my case. Always was reactive to Opposing Counsel never proactive. Told me one thing, exact opposite happened in preliminary hearing. Actually told me that every time I call her office they need to bring my file to top of the pile to update me (sorry for imposi...ng on you), after case has been rotting for over 3 years. Spends most of her time posting political posts on social media. Regret wasting time and money with attorney.
