John Henry Browne

We needed someone to save us from having our lives destroyed by the Legal System. John Henry Browne saved us. Everyone in the Court House knows him and respects him. He knows The System ! You need someone who can talk with the folks in the Court House to get the things you need... a time that wo...rks for you... maybe getting the Right Judge... I THINK this was one of the KEY decisions that JHB help orchistrate on our behalf... JHB knew when it was necessary to say something.. he knew when to Go With The Flow... . He is NOT afraid of any other Lawyer... he is NOT afraid of The Cops... he is NOT afraid of The System... At times JHB came across to us as Cocky and Controlling... and after he won the Case for us... he was SINCERELY and TRULY humble and modest ... Life is confusing ;-) !!! ... JHB knows The System, he is NOT afraid of anyone, he HATES to lose.... and I think JHB would agree with me that he is not a Perfect Person ( and neither am I ) ... but you are NOT looking for a Perfect Person... you want someone who is Confident, Cocky, Knows what to do, Hates to Lose and is on YOUR Side. If I were facing the Legal System again then I would go to John Henry Browne for help. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I say a silent Prayer and Thanks to John Henry Browne... our family would NOT be the same if it were not for his efforts on our behalf. Thank you Mr. John Henry Browne !!

Best lawyer in the state for criminal defense! I turned to JHB in desperation when I was falsely accused assault and JHB handled my case like like a true professional. He walked my through the entire ordeal, playing the role of counselor, legal advisor and friend. On top of that, when he learned the ...details behind my situation, he handled my case nearly free of charge! He went above and beyond what I would expect for any attorney to do for their client and was always available to answer any questions that I had. All the same can be said of Emma C. Scanlan, his brilliant associate, who also helped in my case.

Mr. Browne comes with a great reputation. That is a tough thing to live up to every day. However when you go to court, even the bailifs and court personnel know that they are in the presence of a great lawyer. He is very compassionate to his clients. He took me on, when no one else cared. At first I ...thought that the "deal" he got for me was just o.k., but as I look back with better vision. He did a great job. He saved me three years on another case where I received 60 days instead. He was able to show the judge the REAL story instead of the b.s. that the prosecutor was trying to snow the judge with. As with all "great" people, they often operate on the edge, because they are knowledgeable and able. Mr. Browne knows when to press the opening to obtain results. Often brilliant, sometimes demur as necessary to obtain results. Each judge is different and therefore requires a different approach. Mr. Browne has mastered this. The AVVO rating is subjective without inspection. I wish there were more John Henry Brownes in this world and if there were, there would be greater justice in this world. Thanks Mr. Browne you took care of me when no one else cared.

This site came to my attention from the Seattle Times article reporting a lawsuit by some attys against the rating process used here. That process is certainly laughable if you know anything about lawyers in Seattle at least. I have a lot of experience with lawyers from my working life but when it ca...me to a family member who got in trouble, I learned the hard way that it makes all the difference who is defending you. I was taken for a ride by an atty rated over 7 by this site. He told us he could handle the case. What a sad tale! This guy was as helpless as a baby in front of the prosecutor. Our case was sunk, our goose was cooked, we were going to grow old behind bars. All this guy wanted to do was slink away with my money and wave goodbye as we were forced to take a nasty plea bargain or spend eternity in jail. Then we met John and hired him in a last minute desperate attempt to change reality. In one appearance in court he totally changed the psychology of the whole affair. In a room full of attys in court, when John walked in, he was approached by many of them like autograph seekers. Bottom line: John worked out a vastly better plea arrangement that was only slightly unfair instead of a gross miscarriage of justice. If it wasn't for him, there would have been years of time in prison instead of months. I personally know many of the lawyers in Seattle listed on this site who have better ratings than John. I hope the judge, prosecutor, and jury are impressed by those ratings because if they aren't you are going to need the services of John H Browne!
