Terrible attorney

Ted Brown had me settle a PFA case with documented abuse. He actually worked in the best interests of the opposing party, and counter to the best interest of his client. This opinion has been supported by multiple lawyers who have reviewed/discussed the case after the fact. He quit being my lawyer ...while bing well paid for his services since he came I to a large amount of money, he could retire. He gave me less than 24 hours notice. Horrible person.

Best family lawyer!

Mr. Brown has helped me on 3 separate occasions. First, in gaining a PFA and shortly there after primary parental rights to my eldest daughter. Second, as an officiant at my wedding! He definitely saved the day and made it a relaxed and fun event! Lastly, in helping my husbang and I achieve a step-pa...rent adoption of my eldest daughter. What should have been a rather simple case was quickly turned on its head by my daughter's biological father. Mr. Brown was nothing but honest and straightforward with us about what to expect and what to be prepared for. He was patient and understanding as we navigated through the various decision making processes. It was a very stressful and emotional case for all parties involved, he made it tolerable with his wonderful sense of humor and wit!

  • 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.
