Edward A. Brown

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.

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!

After two failed attempts to get a PFA on behalf of my children and two failed attempts with Child Protective Services to help me and my children it was now time to start a custody battle and I wanted to get professional help. I found Edward Brown (Ted). My first impression of Ted , this man is an o...dd duck with his late 80’s style fashion and hiking boots, then his phone range to the ringtone of a duck quacking. After talking with Ted for my initial consultation I realized I had found the right person for the job. The Maine family court system from my experience felt like a very complex and biased system. Ted never skipped a beat and was always one or more steps ahead. He knew exactly what to expect and what needed to be done. Ted kept me informed and was very honest. We soon had a new obstacle, a guardian ad litem with an unfavorable report. It was shortly after I realized just how brilliant and dedicated Ted was to doing everything he could to help me. Ted pointed out the inconsistencies and omitted vital details in the GAL report. He wrote his own report, a 35 page chronological record of events which obviously took him more time then he had charged me for. I really felt like this was just as important to Ted as it was for me and there is nothing more important to me then the safety and wellbeing of my children. Another great thing about Ted is that his office is local to the courthouse. I called Ted late one afternoon on an urgent matter just a couple hours before the court would close. Ted ran to the courthouse to meet me. He has a real sense of urgency. We had several status conferences with multiple objections from the opposing party. I don’t recall a single objection that Ted wasn’t able to win over. Ted was not only able to convince our GAL that he was wrong in his report and recommendations, he had influence on the opposing parties representation as well. I think one of the most valuable traits of Ted is that he is brilliant with his wording and experienced with custody hearings. I couldn’t be more satisfied with Ted and I highly recommend him.
