More than I dreamed to hope for!

Jennifer, you are the best! This was an incredibly difficult process. I am so thankful for your expertise, patience, dedication, level headed approach, attention to detail and ability to pull old information forward. I had a very difficult case with an extreme blamer and antagonist. My first attor...ney pressured me to take standard parenting time if it was offered and was not willing to put in the work on my behalf. Jennifer believed I could do better, and achieved more than that I allowed myself to hope for. After separation, my ex only allowed me to have our boys one overnight per week, for about 16 months. She did this with false allegations, reports and denying my requests for more overnights. By doing so, she created a strong precedent as the primary parent. With the help of psychological examinations and a practical judge who mediated four different settlement conferences, I settled with joint custody and 50-50 parenting time. Jennifer was worth every dollar spent and she has my deepest and most sincere gratitude!

Amazing Angel!

Jennifer is amazing. She is quick to respond and so very intelligent. She made me so calm and at peace through the whole process. No lawyer is cheap, but with Jennifer you will get your monies worth.

Outstanding!!

If  Integrity,  Competence,  Diligence,  Professionalism,  Experience,  Empathy,  Efficiency,  Patience,  Respectful Assertiveness, and  Reasonableness--  all with a refreshing Lack of Arrogance or Air of Superiority are important traits for you in your attorney, you need ...look no further than Jennifer Brown of Brown Law PC. Jennifer will tell you what you need to know to help you reach the best outcome in your circumstances. She also gives good practical advice. You can be assured that Jennifer knows what she is talking about: do not undervalue her counsel or effectiveness because of her modest manner. I speak from more than 40 years as a member of the Bar observing and evaluating hundreds of attorneys, including nearly three decades as an administrative law judge. As compared to the high drama and loud blustery aggression of some lawyers, Judges recognize and respect calm, objective legal knowledge and preparation—like Jennifer’s—as the more zealous, effective representation that it is. In a case that several attorneys were afraid to undertake for fear of angering a Judge, I watched Jennifer in action as her family law expertise, courtroom experience, and level-headed personal style persuasively convinced a Judge to reverse his earlier ruling. I am so confident in Jennifer’s ability that I sent a family member to her and Jennifer won the case. You and your loved ones, too, can rely on Jennifer Brown.

Amazing!!

I would highly recommend Jennifer Brown as an attorney. She was absolutely amazing in handling my family law case. Jennifer was recommended to me after I had a horrible experience with a different attorney and firm, and she went above and beyond all of my expectations, as did her wonderful assistant,... Erika Schreiner, and other members of the LaMont Law team. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. I especially appreciated how efficient, patient, and understanding they were throughout the duration of my case. They always remembered the details of my situation, and I always felt like they actually cared, working so diligently toward the outcome I was hoping to achieve with my case. I cannot thank Jennifer, Erika, and the LaMont Law team enough for everything they did for me.

Professional, responsive and compassionate

Jennifer Brown and the team at LaMont Law were excellent. After leaving her office the first time I felt like I had found someone who was understanding and compassionate. She was knowledgeable and gave me confidence that I would get through a difficult divorce process. Her team were awesome and suppo...rtive and put me at ease throughout the process. No one wants to need a divorce attorney but I'm glad I chose them.
