Client

Mr. Brown was my attorney in a DV/Harassment case. The case was seen as a 50/50 chance of a favorable outcome. Knowing that this would go to trial, Mr. Brown eased my mind by beginning to come up with a strategy that would give me the most favorable outcome. From clever wording during jury selection ...to well thought cross examinations Mr. Brown did a superb job with his poise and argumentative tactics. His hard work helped others to see what i knew all along... Not Guilty! Thank you Hershall, well done!

Bar none!

When first going into this I had no idea what I was dealing with. After speaking with Mr. Brown about my dealings with the court I was assured that I had nothing to worry about. After a few weeks my trial date came up and before I knew it I did not have trial nor did I have pending charges. I couldn'...t have asked for a better attorney. He is a man of stature, poise, and character.

Pointed me in the right direction

I had a complex question that I could not find the answer to with regards DUII/DIVERSION/DMV and how they are all reported wrapped up into one. I contacted Hershall Brown and I was amazed at how very gracious he was with his time in helping me understand some of the nuances a DUII/DIVERSION can ha...ve and then how it can relate to DMV and Background check reporting. I would not hesitate to use him in the future, or recommend him to anyone seeking friendly knowledgeable representation.

Top notch

Herschell Brown put together a defense that intimidated the prosecution. My case did not go to trial because the state dismissed all five charges. Herschel Brown was always accessible by email or phone and in bringing me up to date and asking me more in-depth questions to help me. I have worked with... many attorneys over the years. As a retired management consultant, my opinion is that you should hire him - - No Doubt no equivocation.
