Thomas Eugene Brownfield

There is a reason an attorney of this type markets himself as a "Christian". He feeds off his need for power/narcissistic fuel and takes advantage those who he sees as beneath him. After years of dedication to Tom Brownfield (previously known as Smart Law under Dean Smart), my family member was not p...aid for over 6 months of work. Not only have both Tom and his wife, Terrie, refused to pay my family member, but they adamantly deny that they have any wrongdoing of forcing an employee to wait over a year to be paid for 6 months of office work. Tom continues to travel out of state, including Nevada, and spend money on his new vehicles. All the while, my family member is unable to physically track down Tom to seek any compensation because he only lists his office address and is working from other states, including Nevada. Tom Brownfield is not fit to be a bankruptcy attorney for the "Christian" community, let alone anyone who is trusting, naive, and kind-hearted. Tom has made the statement to my family member that he has been "short on funds" for well over two years. How is a 'successful' OC attorney short on funds, anyhow? I will only remove or update this review after Tom has fully reimbursed my family member. Until then, Tom, you know what you need to do to prevent this from escalating to the State Bar of CA.
