Attorneys
Brown Law provides personal, high-quality legal representation to clients throughout the state of Maryland. The firm places one goal above all others: uncompromising quality. We pride ourselves on finding creative solutions to difficult problems. The firm handles a vast range of civil and criminal matters, including federal criminal defense, civil rights litigation, post-conviction and white collar defense. It is our goal to treat our clients as we would want to be treated ourselves – to be good listeners, to be responsive to our clients’ needs, and to build lasting relationships with our clients.

We have successfully represented a wide range of clients, from top elected county officials to hip-hop musicians. Some of our recent successes include: the suppression of a federal wire tap, several vacated sentences in post-conviction proceedings, and numerous not-guilty findings. Among the results we are most proud of are results that nobody sees: instances in which criminal charges were avoided entirely through negotiation.
