Leilani was incredible to work with throughout my case. She was always available when I needed her, and both she and Dani consistently went out of their way especially every Wednesday and Friday, to make sure they made time for me. Their dedication and responsiveness never went unnoticed. Leilani handled everything with professionalism and care, guiding me step by step toward a resolution. I truly appreciate the support, communication, and commitment they showed from start to finish
Going through a custody case is overwhelming, but having my attorney Nick, made all the difference. He was calm when I was stressed, always responsive, explained everything clearly, and truly had my child’s best interest at heart. Attention to detail, and courtroom presence made a huge difference. I felt heard, respected, and protected throughout the entire process. His communication was clear and consistent, and I never felt left in the dark. I’m beyond grateful for his hard work and dedication. I would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone needing strong, compassionate representation .
Clay and Whitney and the wholesome respect I received during my entire interaction was amazing. They gave me valuable advice/feedback and a joy to work with. Highly recommend #10Stars
I’m very glad I chose Brown Family Law to handle my divorce. From start to finish, the process went smoothly. Divorce can be incredibly stressful, but much of that stress was eased thanks to their professionalism and guidance. Special thanks to Nicholas Schwarz and Carren Leavitt—both are outstanding attorneys who clearly know exactly what they’re doing. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you!
