I could not be happier to have had Mary Katherine Brown prepare my Last Will and Testament, living will, Health care proxy and other documents. I truly appreciated her accessibility and patience. What I thought would be a confusing and uncomfortable task, she made into an easily understandable process. I can tell she is very knowledgeable and I trust her guidance.When I was first thinking of getting my will done, I was considering Legalzoom as an inexpensive and quick option. I am SO thankful I went with a great lawyer to handle such important documents. Mary Brown's price is very reasonable and worth every penny.

Mary Katherine Brown was a delight to work with these past months. I had an issue come up for Brooklyn Family Court and wanted to retain an attorney instead of handling on my own. I researched some reviews and found Ms. Brown. She is very organized in her thoughts and plans, as well as, very professional in the court environment. I relayed my concerns on some particular issues and she promptly took down notes and handled them immediately with my ex-husband's attorney. Her strategies are well thought out and her advice is invaluable. Ms. Brown made me feel comfortable from our first conversation and throughout our contact. I would like to add her office staff, specifically, Mariana was a pleasure to work with. She always tried her best to accommodate my schedule when securing time with Ms. Brown. Mariana is very professional and respectful. I highly recommend Mary Katherine Brown (Brooklyn Family & Divorce Lawyer) for your family's legal needs. She's fantastic, brilliant, competent, resourceful and overall an attorney you want to have to work for your issues. I am very thankful I found her and decided to retain her for my legal concerns. Mary Katherine Brown is absolutely wonderful!

Miss Brown represented me in several cases while clearly explaining the situations and presenting all of my available options to me before giving her recommended plan of action. Some of my issues involved my parental rights that she worked diligently to resolve. Her office is professional and friendly, which is greatly appreciated when dealing with the stress of court. She’s the best attorney I have ever worked with and I recommend her to anyone dealing with a Divorce and Family Law case.

I hired this firm to resolve my custody relocation case after previous attorney almost ruined it. Not only did Ms Brown successfully resolved this case, but she also provided useful information and explanation for her strategy, provided emotional support and answers to my multiple questions, not to mention very reasonable and fair pricing.

Ms Brown, is an Extraordinary person, she’s calm, very professional, has a wonderful personality easy to work with and always has your best interests in mind. She handed my “nasty” divorce in such a calm and professional way that it shocked me and the opposing side. She doesn’t talk too much or annoys the judge but when she does it is right on point. I highly recommend this amazing person. I can be grateful enough to Ms Brown.

It was recommended to me that I get in touch with Mary Katherine through an acquaintance who works in the field. I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I had made. I went through a complicated separation process and custody battle over my two year old son; my case was extremely challenging and before I retained the services of Mary Katherine it seemed as though all was lost. Mary Katherine and Eoin O' Mahony worked tirelessly on my case and managed to guarantee my access to my son and reach an agreement that protected my relationship with him and secured my status as his father. They did so with the utmost of professionalism, compassion, and generosity. I truly cannot recommend her warmly enough.
