Jean Schiedler-Brown

When I got into trouble with the state and they wanted their money back, Ms. Scheidler-Brown saved my butt. First time we met, she fitted me in on an emergency basis, then said the magic words, "You don't need a lawyer yet. You need to do this and this and if they do that, then you do this, then co...me and see me. So I did all that and got denied, of course, then went back to Jean. With a short deadline forced on us by the state's lack of resources, she quickly made the necessary arrangements to accommodate my special needs and conducted the Administrative Law Hearing from her office. Her summation at the end was perfect. Two days later I got the ruling that the department had been reversed, and I had won. Hiring Jean Scheidler-Brown was the critical step that made that happen, and I remain forever grateful. In the process, she saved me around $7k. :-{)}

I hired Ms. Brown to give me some legal advice on an administrative law case. I paid $2.5 k for this. What I expected was at least a well-written memo, exploring the legal issues involved. What I got was a poorly written email. This thing was composed of cryptic reference to some legal theories. It ...barely even made sense. And it was filled with whole bunch of spelling mistakes. I would not hire this attorney again, ever.

Jeanne is a professional and highly intelligent attorney. Her work was outstanding. She has the ability to gain a strong understanding of a case quickly and has the experience to handle challenges effectively. I am truly grateful that she was my attorney and feel that I would strongly recommend her t...o anyone needing a good lawyer.

It was my extreme misfortune to have Ms.Jean Schiedler-Brown represent me in a fairly uncomplicated divorce settlement case. Both my wife and I wanted this divorce to be over quickly and in a fair fashion. In over a year and half as my attorney, Ms. Schiedler-Brown refused to speak directly to the op...posing attorney in any real attempt to settle and finalize my divorce. She did not return my phone calls over that time or respond back to the numerous FAX’S I sent her in my attempt to have her act in a timely and professional manner. I believe that Ms. Schiedler-Brown basically chose to ignore my case. I later found out that the opposing attorney had transmitted some settlement offer proposals to Ms. Schiedler-Brown. I would have considered these proposals at that time but I was not informed of them. I found Jean Schiedler-Brown to be both uninformative and extremely unresponsive to my needs as a client. I subsequently fired her and obtained another attorney. Divorce is bad enough and made even worse with an incompetent attorney.

I hired Jean to represent me in a fraud case. She pretended to conduct interviews related to the fraud. After over a year she had a phone conference with the other side. AT that time, she learned that I lacked standing to bring an action. It was easily ascertainable that I didn't have standing. It wa...s a threshold issue that just an "average" attorney would have verified at first, charged for the hour it took, and discontinued the representation. She didn't bother. When, after a year, the other side informed her of the standing issue she failed completely to inform me. She mentioned it in a throw away remark. Because she didn't inform me, I incurred fines to say nothing of the 7k I threw away on her pretence of representation. She cut off all contact with me and would not take phone calls or refund any of my money. She was disorganized and unresponsive during her representation. I requested copies of her entire representation and there was no itemized billing, no list of activities or phone calls, no interview sheets - she had done nothing but collect money for which she was not entitled. She is not fit to practice law. I still intend to bring an action against her for complete failure to earn a single cent of the money she took.
