John Henry Browne

When we first met John to help us with a legal problem regarding our son, we were very aware of his high profile and his persona, but we really didn't know what to expect. He had a very calming effect on on what was a very stressful period in our lives which covered 5 years. The respect he garners in... the courtroom is unmatched. Everyone from the judges, clerks and correction officers knows him and he treats everyone as an equal. The man behind the persona is compassionate and very knowledgeable and has spent his entire career fighting for the little guy and rallying against a flawed judicial system that tends to run people over. John was with us every step of the way. We have gotten to know one another very well now he is practically family. His expertise with the initial case and his help in cleaning up our son's record, the latter which he never even charged us for, were a life saver for us. If you are ever in need of a criminal defense lawyer, there simply isn't anyone better

JHB is a total has been. He had been highly rated. Bundi was in the 70's-80's. Think you get what you pay for? NOT!!! Respect?? NOT!!! He was at one point considered a top lawyer. A TOTAL HAS BEEN. He plays good in court. So guess what.!! He plays better to take your money and NOT live up to hi...s HAS BEEN reputation. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME- It's not his so he doesn't care DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY- He will

I hired JHB after I meet with him and he told me he could get me out of jail by x-mas, two months later I was still in jail and all he could say is be patient. He gave my case to another lawer at the JHB law group who got my case and history mixed up. JHB said my name was a common name for white me...n and mix up's happen. The funny part is I am black. They began to tell me to tell on people... They told me this atleast 15 times. I said no and JHB and his other lawyer said in 30 yrs they have never seen or heard of any snitches getting hurt for telling. I asked do you really even stay in contact with clients? After the 15th time of being told to tell I decided JHB law group was not the firm for me because not only did they try to make me tell but for two months they had my money and didn't do any work on my case because they said they didn't have my files yet and the procecutor was slow dragging so we were at a standstill. When I asked well what have you done, JHB said we already earned our money by just taking the case. JHB has won cases but he has loses too. I feel he has lost sight of what being a lawyer really is. They are not paid for their names they are paid to do a job. No work no pay. Not only did he not do anything for me but he kept more than half my money he said that he didn't even need. I am waiting to hear from the bar now about this. I did research and found out he has done this very same thing before and has cases against him for taking peoples money and doing nothing for them. If I was you I did find another letter.

First, John is a super lawyer. He did things no one else could do. I was charged with Child Rape 2nd Degree (Class A violent felony). I fought the case for 9 1/2 months in county jail, only to have the prosecutor bring up not only someone saying I allegedly admitted to the crime, but that there was a...llegedly another girl teenage girl who said I molested her at a party in a different county. We were ready for trial, had the case beat. But with this turn of events a new deal had to be made. My first plea bargain was communicating with a minor with immoral purposes, a misdemeanor. That was swiped off the table. Now they negotiated a Child Molestation 2nd degree (Class B non-violent felony), BUT, John got the other county's prosecutor to agree not to ever file charges on that as part of my plea agreement. With those 2 sex offenses I faced life in prison. Many peope will tell you that sex offenses are harder to defend than murder. Much of the time, they are. I served out the minimum of 15 months in prison, 12 1/2 which were in county jail. My only complaint really is that my case should have recieved more attention. It was beatable and was beat except the prosecution was given too much time to dig into me. You people must realize that the American judicial system is not made to be beaten, it's almost impossible to prove a negative (heresay case), and defense attorneys don't have the power that judges and prosecutors do. Oh, and I was really close to getting my charge plead down to Assault 4, but I got stuck with the absolute worst prosecutor in the charging county. John had beaten her many times before, but I'm not sure if on sex crimes. Also, courts/prosecutors don't let up on these offenses like others. They want to see us punished to the fullest extent and dead by suicide. John also knocked out the most ridiculous probation conditions the department of corrections was trying to impose on me. One of them was stating that I couldn't be on the Internet. He beat about half that list/got the wording changed. I can't stress how important that was. The legislature CONSTANTLY passes new laws that make it harder for us to defend ourselves. This makes Defense work very hard. When you hire a defense attorney, expect to be found guilty and get a minimum-medium sentence. When you hire John, expect to get the charge dropped down to a MUCH lesser charge, unless you've got no skeletons in your closet so that you've got a slam dunk case. Believe me, it's very easy for the authorities to find out things about you to use against you in court, and all it takes is one little word or statement. I don't know how his law offices will be when he retires, but Emily is awesome. Truly committed to beating the hell out of the prosecutor. I've never met Emma, but I heard she's great. Colleen is frequently late to court and that all I have to say about her. If you can afford John, he's worth it. He saved me years-life in prison. And you dont wanna be a sex offender in prison, trust me. Its 1000x's worse than being a burglar, robber, etc. it is HELL. After he's done with your case, the best advice I can give is this: Move out of this tyrannical country any way you can! Thanks for saving my life, John and Emily. Colleen, stop being late...

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.
