This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Positive experience with lawyer, David Brown

David and Judy represented my case of a car accident where I was a passenger. I was doing everything wrong before and I am glad that they came in and sorted out all the medical and law stuff. They answered all my questions with kindness and patience. I always felt comfortable asking and telling them ...of my concerns. They treated me with care but also with professionalism. I was able to trust that whatever they did was the right thing to do because they always explained why. I highly recommend David as a lawyer!

I was a passenger in an auto accident

I was a passenger in an auto accident that happened in Oklahoma. I called Brett Murphy Law Office because I was having problems paying my medical bills. Even before I hired David Brown, He had straightened out my problem. After filing the lawsuit, I was walked through the legal process, and was treat...ed with kindness and compassion. My case was settled and I received a really good settlement.

Tenacious, responsive and knowledgeable attorney

I had two previous attorneys, both basically saying they could not help me AFTER taking my case. David Brown not only kept my case but did the research for naming the correct businesses responsible for my injuries. As a result, we filed a lawsuit and it was actually settled before going to trial. ...Throughout the whole process, David and his staff were always available to me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
