Verified ClientHired Attorney 2008I would highly recommend Dustin Brown. I was very happy with him as my attorney. He worked very hard on my case, he kept me well informed, i felt very comfortable calling him at anytime with questions or concerns. He always had time for me. I felt very at ease with him, I could not have gone through this ordeal with anyone else. He makes you feel like a friend rather than just a client. I will always be grateful to him.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2013Dustin was very polite, professional and friendly from the first consultation and every meeting there after. I never felt in the dark about anything or that the information that he provided me was over my head. I was very pleased with the settlement that I received and will not only recommend Dustin to others but will also use him again in the future if the need should arise.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2012I was involved in a motorcycle accident, where a semi-truck caused me bodily harm. Dustin took the time to listen to me and insure that he understood my situation. Prior to my settlement Dustin made sure that all questions were answered, every question the defense had, we had an answer, and he did all his homework when it came to my case. He treated me and my case with the upmost care and professionalism.
