Hired Attorney Mr. William M. (Bill) Brownell Jr.

My case is not over yet, but I felt compelled to go ahead and leave a review. When I contacted Mr. Brownell's office in my search for an attorney, he answered the phone and spoke with me, for free. He asked excellent questions and quoted me a very reasonable fee to retain his services. Every time I met with him, he made me feel at ease, never rushed. Mr. Brownell is very intelligent, knowledgeable, hard working, and sincerely cares about his clients. This man is truly one in a million!!!

Hired Attorney Mr. William M. (Bill) Brownell Jr.

When my boyfriend was falsely accused of sexual assault, sexual battery, and rape, Mr. Brownell was comforting to our family and by God did he get the job done. Bill Brownell might seem demure in a personal setting but in a courtroom he grabs the bull by the horns! Not only was he quick to respond to our emails but he was also so well educated with the court system that he knew exactly how to move his chess pieces for a check mate! Well done Mr. Brownell, I am forever grateful!!

You could not ask for better representation. Bill's courtroom expertise and legal counseling skills is only exceeded by his bed-side manner. What a comfort in a time of desperate need. To get that level of service and skill at the rate he charges is nothing short of miraculous.

Hired Attorney Mr. William M. (Bill) Brownell Jr.

My drug possession case was a particularly complicated one, involving 3 jurisdictions. William, "Bill", was very thorough and diligent with his investigation on the matter. The DA was insistent on prosecuting my case no matter what the evidence showed. Bill stood solidly on what he believed to be the truth, and eventually, after 2 years the DA decided to drop the case the night before the trial. Bill believed in me and he did not waiver one bit, but he does expect clients to tell the truth.

William Brownell restored my faith in the legal system. His professionalism, character, and integrity are beyond question. I just wish he practised in Florida also. He gets 100% in my book!

Hired Attorney Mr. William M. (Bill) Brownell Jr.

I have referred many people to Mr. Brownell. In fact, members of our family have used him many times for court cases. I have used him twice for child support my ex-husband has owed, neither of which resulted in having to go to court - he was able to get my ex's attention with very stern letters. One regret I have is that I didn't know Mr. Brownell when I had my divorce; based on the results he's gotten with just letters, it would have been such a pleasure to have seen him in court for that!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
