DOES NOT RETURN CALLS & DOESN'T RESPOND TO EMAILS

I had the unfortunate experience of trying to hire Mr. Brownlee for my legal needs, and I must say, it has been a nightmare trying to reach him. From the very beginning, communication has been a major issue. Despite sending emails he never responded to, and leaving phone messages he doesn’t return, I... have received no response. It's incredibly frustrating to feel ignored when you're seeking professional help. In the legal field, timely communication is crucial, and Robert Brownlee has failed miserably in this regard. Beyond the lack of communication, the overall level of service provided was disappointing. I expected a certain degree of professionalism and dedication, but instead, I was left feeling abandoned. If you're considering hiring Robert Brownlee, I strongly advise against it. There are plenty of capable lawyers out there who value their clients and maintain open lines of communication. Save yourself the stress and frustration—look elsewhere for legal representation.

NOTE: THIS PERSON WAS NOT A CLIENT. To whom: I note you write you "tried to hire" me. I am a solo practitioner, and if I failed to return a phone call or email (which, as far as a phone message, is highly doubtful), I apologize. I receive between 200 and 300 emails a week on average, and there are not enough hours in the day to respond to each one, especially since you don't state what was in the subject line, or what email address you were writing to. Since you had no direct contact with my office, how you think you can review my ability as a lawyer is suspect and without any factual basis. I think it is much more likely this is a hit-job by a competitor. I defy you to contact me at 951 775 5770 and justify this review. You won't because it is fake.

Great experience.

Mr. Brownlee helped me negotiate my case and won without ever setting foot in a court room. I presented him my evidence and he did the research and did all he could to help me in my time of need. He has great communication skills and is very professional. Also didn't charge me an arm and a leg, jus...t what he thought was fair. I will continue to use him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone.

Hardest working lawyer I've ever hired.

I've used Mr. Brownlee on several occasions. The first experience was when our landlards weren't accepting our rent money and taking us to court and were saying we weren't paying them so they can move back in. He fought for us 3 different times and got the job done. My latest experience was with the ...family law courts. He basically defended me when the other parent tried to bash my character and get full custody of the kids. I presented him my evidence and he went to work and did all he could and won my case. He has great communication skills and is very professional. I will continue to use him in the future if I need to.

Best experience ever!

I was so lucky to have been referred to Robert for my family law case. The process was so simple and I really felt that because of his dedication and knowledge was the reason for that. Highly recommend!

"A criminal procedure and constitutional law professor as well as an active attorney with 14 years experience is hard to beat when shopping for an attorney. His knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and also evident in his pro bono contributions here. A personal, small, hands on practice is what he delivers and his client reviews reflect that. READ THEM! Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him. You have nothing to lose but much to gain."
