    When it comes to the correct type of organization for a new small business, the amount of information can be overwhelming. Blaine made the process easy to understand and painless.

    A few minutes into our first meeting, I felt and experienced Blaine's passionate attention to detail which remained consistent throughout the case. Without exception, Blaine could recall any aspect or detail of the case at any moment and provide a sound strategy for next steps along with realistic timelines. I found Blaine to be compassionate while taking personal ownership in the case. This combined with his aggressive drive was in my mind, the formula for success in defending our case. So allow me to state the obvious: I would recommend Blaine to anyone!

    - Trust Client (Beneficiary)
  • "High Quality Services"

    My experience with Blaine Brown has been nothing short of remarkable. A few months ago it became necessary for me to obtain legal representation in handling issues as trustee for the family trust. I retained Attorney Blaine Brown. Blaine has been remarkable in handling my case. He is a profound listener and extremely detailed in all aspects trust litigation. He is personable and very companionate, as evidenced when dealing with my elderly mother. His level of legal acumen and attention to details has propelled my case to reach resolution much sooner than anticipated, as my experience has been when dealing with law firms in the past. It is my opinion that Blaine’s background in finance gives his clients an added advantage, and he is cognizant and sensitive to time and fees. I highly recommend Blaine. I intend to retain Blaine as my attorney to handle all future transactions involved with the family trust.

    - Trust Client (Trustee)
  • "Practical Advice in Highly Emotional Situations"

    Blaine Brown was hired to provide legal assistance to help ensure that a relative's wishes were adhered to by family members. Certain family members had taken actions to move monies into bank accounts which benefited them. Mr. Brown was able to obtain information as to the bases for these transactions. He diligently proved the power of attorney that was the basis for the significant amount of monies transferred was due to Elder Abuse. Threatening to file legal actions, Mr. Brown convinced the relatives to unwind the improper transfers of monies and return the monies to their proper accounts. Subsequently, I indicated to Mr. Brown my intentions to tell the relatives that I was prepared to give to them a portion of these monies. Mr. Brown wisely said to hold off on informing the relatives of my intentions. He stated it would be best to wait until a later time to inform them of my generosity. He was so very wise and practical. Subsequent very cruel and untruthful accusations by family members caused me to realize that my generosity was folly. Such practical advise of Mr. Brown led me to not make a big mistake.
