If there were a Hall of Fame for unprofessional behavior, this firm would be a top contender. I called seeking legal guidance--simple enough. The receptionist politely took my information, and I thought, "Okay, maybe this will go somewhere." The next day, they hit me with a demand for $300 just to *speak* with the attorney. Mind you, this lawyer hadn't seen a single document from my case or even knew why I was calling. That kind of move screams "cash grab," not "client care." Integrity? Questionable at best. It felt less like a law office and more like a toll booth--pay up or move along. When I asked to speak with a manager to get some clarity, I was denied that too. Look, everyone deserves to get paid for their time, but transparency is free. My advice? Save yourself the headache and find representation that values trust as much as the invoice.

They have won for me three times in a row by being professional, organized and respectful. Not all lawyers and firms are the same. If you want representation that is not just good but great choose them. You won't be sorry. read more

They are a great law firm. Make you feel as family from the moment you contact them. I hired them because they have empathy for the community at large suffering from Covid-19. At the same time they understand that a lawyers time has value. As Abraham Lincoln said. "The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for tomorrow. which can be done today. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. Besides empathy and resolve. They are diligent! They know they are heavyweights looking out for the interest of people like you and me and offer their services at an affordable rate. A rate that is just so that common people as us can be represented by experts in litigation as Gregory Brown and his team. read more

Brown & Charbonneau, LLP - Me elliot - Business Law Near Me - Irvine, California

Beware, this firm's Retention Agreement violate business ethics and robs clients of any rights other than to pay whatever the attorney asks regardless of work or quality of work. Given the other negative reviews on this site, triple read the agreement with a knowledgeable counsel and think about what will happen if the attorney don't do their jobs properly after taking your money at $595 / hour + overhead expenses + 10% interest on billed fees after 15 days!!! read more

I gave an honest review of Ms Charbonneau's mediation capabilities and since it was not a glowing review. The owner Greg claimed that that is not his law firm but it is the same number i have saved in my phone and the same number on Yelp that he is a the verified owner of. They overcharged me @ 1000 dollars by charging more than 275 on three occasions to review the financial information of my ex wife and mine but when we pulled up the information to use it in mediation we found that it was either the wrong time period or irrelevant so we had to discontinue the meeting while she gathered the correct information. For a $275 review you think that they could do something as easy as determine if the timeline matches up and it the information is relative to the case at hand. I have also called the business and let my name and number to discuss with the owner I will let you know if he will respond. They overcharge and their objective is to charge you and make the process last. Remember it about making money read more

Amazing Attorney! Greg was our Guardian Angel during a very tense real estate transaction. He guided us with amazing clarity and we just followed his steps he recommended through the process. The seller was a bully and taking advantage of our need to move in on a certain date. The lawyer we consulted with first would not listen and gave us bad advice. Greg's knowledge and caring shined through and his character is a bright example of an attorney that cares for his clients! read more

BEST TRIAL ATTORNEY- is Greg Brown for any business case. He can defend a business, protect a business or go after another business causing harm better than anyone in Orange County. I have used him & seen him in action on several cases. He was so much sharper & smarter than opposing counsel no matter who the other side hired. He has gone against large firms and 'super lawyers' with great success. He completely dedicates himself to his cases & clients and is respected by the judges & attorneys. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you have him evaluate your case to see if he can help. Then your legal fees are well spent! read more

Brown & Charbonneau, LLP - This magazine featured Greg Brown - Business Law Near Me - Irvine, California

I tried contacting this company for help. Read the reviews on what a great company it was. Said they offered free consultations. I engaged in an online chat which was forwarded to the legal department for review with a promise of a phone call when someone was available. But a few hours later all I got was a blow off email stating they could not help me a this time and wished me luck. This from a chat message online not even a phone call to talk to me. Very disheartening at how it was handled. read more

Jazmine is extremely rude and unprofessional. She asked me provide her with tons of information and when I called her back to follow since she "forgot" to call me back she told me she didn't remember our conversation from earlier in the day and that I would explain to her the entire situation all over again. I would think that they would employ more competent staff at a highly regarded law firm but unfortunately due to Jazmines unprofessionalism and rudeness we have gone another route. read more

I never dealt with any lawyer before I got into this lawsuit. My opposing party had cheated on numerous customers and already had tons of experience in league battles. While I am the obvious victim, and I already hired three law firms with good online reviews to help me, I still had no idea how to end my nightmare, which actually has been getting much worse, until I talked with Mr. Brown, whom my friend recommended to me. Without reviewing all background information in details, Mr. Brown was able to pinpoint key issues immediately. He was able to suggest more cost efficient solutions my previous lawyers never talked about. He also educated me on the whole process and implications that none of them did. He is a great communicator, direct yet sensitive, professional yet personable. I just wish I had found him a year ago so I would have already gained my normal life back. I know I would trust him on any of my future legal issues. Thank you Mr. Brown! read more

Greg Brown, Mark Higushi, and their entire support staff were absolutely tremendous to work with. A high powered legal team with a small office feel. They dove right into a messy and complicated situation. They waded through piles of documents and minutia to extract the key points and issues, and applied the legal issues to the facts. They kept us informed, communicated clearly and better yet, we prevailed. I highly recommend Brown and Charbonneau for your legal needs. You won't be disappointed! read more

Brown & Charbonneau is a firm that treats their clients, not just as a client, but rather as one of their own. Taking into account my concerns and approaching the matters I've brought them with an honest and transparent opinion, while passionately pursuing the strategies we've needed to succeed. My views aren't limited to my individual experiences, for I have referred the firm to both family and friends as well as business associates, only to receive positive feedback from each as to their experiences. read more

Run for the hills, this was a very typical all bark no rights experience, except for the inners of our pocket book. Mr. Brown is the master of self promoting, taking money from clients and then having paralegals, and lower level personnel work on our case. I had high hopes for him, but after not receiving responses from him for several months, and be delegated to staff, I should not have been surprised that he had missed important discovery deadlines, and blew us off after he had been generously paid. Please beware that often times, and I am not insinuating this time, but often times attorneys have friendly colleagues write good reviews for them. I had a very bad experience with this "Super Lawyer". read more

Eileen Solis was a pleasure to work with. I couldn't have felt more comfortable with anyone else. She is very upfront and honest about everything and that is exactly what I was looking for. I've worked with several other attorneys in the past, and by far she was the most available and understanding one yet. Divorce is such a stressful process but Eileen took all that weight off my shoulders and truly made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I have referred her to many of my friends who need a reliable attorney. read more

Look no further the dream team is here! When a person finds themselves at the crossroads and searching for sound legal counsel, do yourself a favor and contact Brown & Charbonneau. I found myself in a very complex situation over a property post-divorce....the moment I sat down with Greg Brown, I immediately recognized that he and his colleagues are in a league by themselves What takes other law firms weeks or even months. Brown & Charbonneau solved less than a week. His firm made me feel like I was their number one priority. Very seldom do you find individuals (Greg Brown & Eileen Solis) who work tirelessly over a holiday weekend. I am so very grateful for the result. His strategy and tactical maneuvers honestly left opposing counsel scratching their heads, wondering what just happened. Thank you to all at Brown & Charbonneau for an exemplary performance. read more

I am a real estate broker and property manager and partner in other businesses. In one of the non-real estate businesses, Greg was in the midst of litigation prep in an unrelated but complementary type of business and sought background info from one of my partners and me regarding details of how that business worked. My partner and I were so impressed with his smart questions and probing and due diligence in that case that we have had him working for us on all matters which has arisen since then. He is always very well prepared, ready to go, professional and reliable. He has also recently nipped in the bud a potentially very costly litigation matter for me personally as well. His practical approach effectively took care of the matter with the other counsel and averted possible tragedy for me. In addition to these litigation specialties, he also handles all our corporate work as well. We are happy to refer clients to him enthusiastically. read more

Greg Brown just helped me with a relatively complex business litigation case. He was very effective in analyzing accounting and financials involving multiple corporations.
