Our case was not simple. The attorneys at Brown & Charbonneau, LLP were able to navigate the complexities of our fraud and breach of fiduciary duty case. I recommend this firm without reservation.

Hired Attorney Gregory Brown

One year into a hostile partnership dispute, we fired our now ex attorney, finding Greg in the process. Greg quickly took control with a perfect balance of authority and grace. He has been aggressive, flawlessly prepared, and an exceptional strategist. We were constantly kept in the loop & certain of the direction we were headed. Greg has surpassed our expectations more than ten fold. With trial still looming in the future, I have unwavering confidence that we will win with Greg on our side.

Hired Attorney Mark Higuchi

The firm that Mark works for - Brown & Charbonneau, LLP - was hired to represent me against a real estate developer whose project I invested in. Since the investment was rather small, I shared upfront that I would like to keep legal fees to a minimum, and merely want a couple of scare-letters for the purpose of receiving access to information that had been withheld from me. Mark wrote those two letters and hadn't achieved anything. When I asked about next steps, it took him 5 days to give half a response, then another 5 days to give another have a response, and then for 6 days he couldn't respond to a simple question about projected costs. In general, Mark always took good few days to respond (not acceptable in my opinion), he never demonstrated creativity or proactiveness, and his writing was mediocre. $4,000 in, I realized I wasn't going to get anything out of this engagement except being treated like a small fish, and decided to cut my losses and fire the firm.

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.
