Jean Schiedler-Brown

Professional is an understatement when describing my experience with this attorney. Jean Shiedler-Brown saved my life. Attorney Brown studied my case and worked on my behalf to obtain the desired legal outcome as well as using the law to keep me safe during the proceedings. I found her to be knowledg...eable, professional, caring and compassionate. In my opinion, this comes from a love of what she does and a love of law and of people. I was clearly in danger and the state gave the impression that I had no options. Ms. Shiedler-Brown showed me that I not only had options, but a right to be safe in my own home. She told me that she would handle everything and to not worry. She handled my case and I did not have to worry or appear from that day forward. I felt my first relief in a very long time. Finally, I had someone who believed in justice and she got that for me. Thank You Ms. Shiedler-Brown

Jean was very upfront and helpful from the beginning. She saved me thousands by helping me figure out the correct steps at the correct times for my case. Not only is she extremely knowledgable, but very sharp when it comes to arguing a case and I really appreciated her kind personality during such a ...difficult time. I would recommend Jean over any other attorneys.

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 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.

Jean is a good lawyer. She helped us with a situation with our au pair company. They were failing to live up to their end of our contract and were not cooperating with us to resolve the issue. Jean helped us negotiate the termination of the contract and got us a refund. This saved us the time and exp...ense of filing a lawsuit. I would recommend her to anyone.
