Fantastic lawyer!! Hands down the best!

Ted Brown represented me in my divorce and I’m glad he did. He was quick to respond to my emails/calls and gave thoughtful responses. Yes he can be curt, but it is a good thing as he is bluntly honest and tells you what you need to hear. He gives realistic expectations and great guidance. As you get ...to know him, you realize he has a heart of gold and will fight for you in court. He is hands down the best attorney I have ever met. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

Very competent and easy to work with.

From the moment he answered the phone during a blizzard in January I knew I found the right attorney to see me through my divorce. Fast, efficient and competent. I felt I was taken care of. Very pleased how it all turned out. Highly recommend Ted and his staff.

Ted is an effective attorney

Ted handled both my divorce and a motion to modify and delivered better results than I expected. He will give you the advice you need and provide useful, timely suggestions. If I find myself in court again concerning this matter, I will be there with Ted.

Terrific attorney - for divorces and more!

I highly recommend Ted Brown! I hired him to handle my divorce (a highly contentious, long and drawn-out affair) and found him to be extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and very smart too - strategically speaking. Ted is a good listener (not a "given" with every attorney), and he gives excell...ent advice. He heard out every concern I had, and was ready to discuss every topic intelligently and thoughtfully. He also brought a number of matters to my attention that I hadn't considered, which proved very helpful. Since the satisfactory outcome of my divorce settlement, I have continued to turn to Ted Brown for other legal matters too, including business affairs and estate planning. He is thorough, professional, and highly reliable. Thanks again for all your good work, Ted! I'll see you the next time I'm in need!

Highly recommend Mr. Brown

I felt that Ted really cared about my situation and put 100% into my case. He showed a lot of tenacity and backbone in dealing with my difficult divorce and hostile ex and has always been quick to answer any questions I've had. I've always had confidence that he was looking out for my best interest...s.

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.
