NOT recommend this lawyer

S. Brown, was represented my divorce and custody case three years ago. Being legally married for 9 years and have a two small children, S. Brown told me what I do not have any rights in this country and I have to give everything to my ex-husband. He did not represent my case well. Truly, I felt v...ery disappointed and disrespected because of his work. In the beginning he presented himself as a strong, knowledgeable lawyer who can take care of my divorce case well. However, after I paid to him retain fees in cash and hired him to represent my case, his poor knowledge and not respect for the women showed up: He could not build an argumentative statement well, He was not detail oriented for my case. His work style was too much sacratic-by using expressive communication that leads to no where. He had the bad listening skills; He analyzed too much things what were not important for the case (waisted time and money). He could not build the argumentative strategies well. He asked me to agreed and signed a divorce degree what I was not comfortable with. I would NOT recommend this lawyer to anyone especially if you are an assertive woman and believe that you have rights.

Replied last December 19, 2015

I am not sure who wrote this email but I am very confident that anyone who has worked with me (Stuart Brown), knows there is absolutely no truth or merit to this review. The claim that I am disrespectful to anyone and in particular to women, is also sheer nonsense. I take cases regularly with women who have been abused, have no money to fight for their rights, and I fight as hard for my clients as any attorney. I am always prepared and am aggressive at court and fight commissioners and judges tooth and nail when I believe they are not dealing objectively and fairly with my clients. As all of my clients also know, I am extremely conscious of people's budgets and give a large amount of free hours to help with their financial issues. As my clients well know, money is the last thing that I am about. While I have no idea who this reviewer is as they have chosen to not identify themselves, I am left in the position of having to defend against someone who essentially remains in the shadows. If I did know whom it was, I certainly could fairly comment on why that client, if it was a client, was not helped or believed they were not helped. One of the problematic things that occurs in ratings such as here, is that anyone can say anything negative about any attorney and not have to be accountable for who they are. As I have just joined AVVO, I will shortly be asking scores and scores of clients for their reviews and am VERY confident that the review here will be revealed for what it is, coming from a disgruntled person who may not have had a very good case or someone whose own problematic behavior or past resulted in my not being able to do what I do best, zealously fight for and help protect people's rights, their access to their children, their property, their sense of safety and privacy, etc. This reviewer may say anything they wish but it does not make it so. Each holiday season, just as now, I am touched by the many letters and cards I receive from people thanking me for helping change their lives and save their relationships with their children, etc. It literally brings tears to my eyes as this is exactly why I entered law. These real clients know exactly who I am for better or worse and know that what this reviewer is claiming is simply untrue. As a South Philadelphia boy and ex-Marine, I do know about never giving in for my clients and never shying away from a fight. If you want someone with those values, I believe I am that attorney and person. Just had to get that on the record. Stuart E. Brown Attorney at Law
