Posted by Julian | November 05, 2009 | Entertainment

Harty Brown is the finest attorney and trusted counsel on all matters.

Mr. Brown has been my attorney for years, and I trust his counsel in every way. He has handled all types of matters for me in the entertainment field, and has always done stellar work. I have recommended him to many colleagues and friends, and would fully recommend him to anyone.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've known Hartford Brown for nearly five years. In that time, he's showed himself to be extremely effective and diligent in representing his clients. We've worked together on a number of issues and cases, and his breadth and depth of legal knowledge and practical applications of that knowledge to his cases is second to none. My highest recommendation of Mr. Brown is that I have referred several personal friends and long-term clients to his firm for representation on matters outside of my areas of expertise. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Hartford and the Klinedinst Firm to anyone seeking legal advice and representation. They practice at the highest levels of the legal profession."

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.
