I did a contested divorce consultation with Mr. Brownell today. The consultation was free however it was very lengthy. He did not rush. He was very warm, considerate and knowledgeable. I am greatful for the time he gave me today. He was very "down to earth" and understanding. When I am ready to proceed with my case, I most assuredly will use his services.

To say the least, I Hired Mr. Brownell for years, for an ongoing case that I had. I've always received outstanding results when I received counsel from him. he fights for you and listens to your concerns. He's always available and punctual when you need him, he's straightforward, direct, fearless. He also gave me the best advice so that I had a victorious outcome. He's an excellent lawyer and I couldn't be happier with my results during the entire process. he was present and I didn't have to worry about anything, he always kept me up to date on everything going on. I don't only look at him as a excellent attorney but as a friend whom I feel I could call on anytime for legal matters that he specialize in.

100% hire Bill! He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and court processes, and it shows in every step of how he handles a case. His courtroom demeanor is professional, confident, and composed, and he approaches every matter with careful attention to all aspects involved. Bill handled my custody case and helped bring about major improvements for the wellbeing of my daughter — something I will always be grateful for. He’s also incredibly responsive to emails and phone calls, which made a big difference during a stressful time. His attorney fees are very reasonable, and I truly felt like I got what I paid for — without being overcharged like so many other attorneys. Highly recommend!

This man is an absolute angel. Mr.Brownell took on my case after I fired my first lawyer for ethics issues. He jumped in head first in an emergency custody case involving my son. After almost 12 years of only having joint legal custody I left that courtroom with full physical and joint legal custody of my daughter and son. His assistant is so sweet and if you want someone who truly cares about the safety of your children this is the man you want!!! Thank you Mr.Brownell for everything you did to help me and my children.

10/10 A review will never suffice to express the gratitude I have for this man. I never had any respect or understanding of the lawyer profession and after calling multiple trial lawyers that quoted me 50,000 retainers and even got quoted for 100,000 for trial costs. This was the scariest time of my life and when I called the first thing the lawyer would ask is how much money I have. When I called Bill, this man never asked me about money and talked with me on the phone for over an hour to understand my case. All of that doesn't even matter. What matters is the results and his understanding of the legal system and ability to convince and pressure the prosecutor for years. He shared all of his correspondence with prosecutor and his tactics led to my case being dropped after many years, I'm convinced many others would not have had a lawyer so steadfast and would have ended up with an unjust result. Anyways, I learned after dealing with Bill Brownell that a lawyer is way more than someone you hire for advise, you need someone that will fight for you because's your life at stake and actually have your best interest at heart and I feel like Bill did. I was looking at 2 life sentences and received offers and threats of trial for 3 years before it was all dropped like it was never a big deal.. it turned out good because I called Mr. Brownell that late evening, I'm so glad I did. I won't post how much he charged me because all fees are relative but lets just say I would have payed 10 times as much for the service I received. Thank you sir for your professionalism.

Mr. Brownell was great. He gave us a free consultation and really helped us understand our case and legal risks. He was polite and answered all our questions prior to being retained. Once we retained him his level of service, respect and representation got even better. He did a great job handling our case. Hopefully we don't have to use his legal services again. But at least we have peace of mind knowing that Mr. Brownell is there for us.

Mr. Brownell handled my divorce/child custody/child support case, and I could not have asked for a better attorney. Mr. Brownell is dedicated to his clients, and he never fails to communicate. Every time I emailed him, I received a timely response. That is rare these days. Every time I met with him, I left his office feeling confident and assured. Mr. Brownell is very knowledge about several areas of law, and he never made me feel like I was "just a number". I hope I'll never need legal services again, but if I do, I would without hesitation or doubt hire Mr. Brownell again.

My case isn't over yet, but I felt compelled to go ahead and write a review. When I called Mr. Brownell's office seeking representation for my Divorce, HE answered the phone. I was dumbfounded! He spoke to me for a while, asking excellent questions, and then quoted me a reasonable retainer fee. I immediately scheduled an appointment. Every meeting I have had with him since has left me feeling at ease and confident about my case. I know he is a very busy man, but he makes me feel like I am his only client. I have never felt rushed. Mr. Brownell is very intelligent, knowledgeable about the law, and he sincerely cares about his clients. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me. Truly a good man and a good attorney!!!!!

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.

YES.. We will absolutely recommend Mr. Brownell! And will certainly use him as our Attorney, if ever in need. Mr. Brownell went above and beyond in my husbands case. He was always in contact, and answered ever email I sent, and took all of my calls "Himself", if not when I called due to being in Court or with his clients, he always returned my call and was pleasant when doing so. Our case took some time due to the Defendant side, and OUR Hearing lasted a total of three minutes. (With exceptional results). My suggestion to anyone needing his help, call him. Even if its a case you feel he won't handle, you too, may be very surprised. If your looking for an excellent, honest, skilled and very knowledgeable Attorny I suggest you call him FIRST. I will! Thank you Mr. Brownell for all you do, and have done. You ARE the best! ~ D. Powers

William (Bill) Brownell was cool, calm, and organized when he handled a case I was involved in. He gave me plenty of conference time to discuss my case and concerns. He was ALWAYS prepared for court (even when the prosecution was not!) He kept my best interests first, and NEVER made me feel unsure of his plans. His guidance, strait forwardness, follow through, and even aftercare was tremendous in my getting this behind me. Thanks Bill, you are a true professional in all areas!

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.

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!

Mr. Brownell always kept me in the loop of all communication throughout the year long divorce process. He is very well versed on the law and very ethical when executing my rights even when the opposing lawyer did not exhibit morals. He was very prepared for every situation and did his homework. He also knew his limitations and sought out additional expertise counsel. I will continue to have Mr Brownell as my lawyer if needed in the future and I would highly recommend him.
