Why Hire Ms. Brown?

When selecting a family law attorney, be advised that your case can be assigned to an associate in the firm who lacks the experience of the certified specialist. These less experienced employees are expected to meet a quota of minimum billing hours monthly, so many times the emphasis is on billing, not service. You end up with an inflated bill or monthly statement. But when you hire Karen S. Brown, you hire Ms. Brown, a certified specialist who has a high level of proficiency and experience in Family Law. She has been favorably evaluated and rated by other attorneys and judges familiar with her work. She personally handles your case, keeps you informed, and attempts to economize the case, not maximize the billing. Family Law is complex and keeps changing. Ms. Brown is very active and stays current with the changes in the law.
