I was a newspaper reporter before attending law school, and in my practice I still like to write and meet a wide variety of people the way I did when I reported.
My motto for my family law cases is, "Putting the Children Before the Conflict." By this I mean that I work to get people divorced with minimal damage to children. Therefore I best serve divorcing clients who are not petty or hateful, but who want to get through this inevitably painful process as reasonably as possible.
Sometimes aggressiveness is appropriate in family proceedings, and then I will be aggressive. But far more often I've gotten the best result for clients in family cases by trying to be a peacemaker instead of attempting to demean or hurt the opposing party. This is crucial when children are involved -- children want, and need, to love both of their parents. A good family law attorney always keeps that in mind. My own experience as a father who went through a divorce always informs this attitude.

Mr. Browning succeeded in getting spousal support for me despite opposing counsel costing 200+% more and was able to get out motion passed, while simultaneously being able to get opposing motions denied.

I had a fairly complex divorce case, that took some pretty twisted turns. Despite the difficulties he stayed true to the course and saw me through to the end. Compassion and diligence were a huge part of his work. Grateful for him!

I have little knowledge of the complexities of the law. Mr. Browning guided me through the ways of the courts and helped direct me to people who gave me information I needed. He was knowedgeable, willing to learn more, and he listened to me. More recently, he met with an acquaintance of mine and ...
"Allen's tenacity and willingness to go above and beyond for his clients is apparent from the first meeting. He works hard and refuses to let difficult situations keep him from the finish line. If I had a family law issue, I would choose Allen to represent me. He is definitely the attorney for you!"
"Allen is knowledgeable, kind, and extremely wise! He is the attorney I would go to if I had to litigate a family law manner. He is ready to take on any case in which he can help, and only provides top notch representation!"
