Attorney Information

Overview

Michael T. Brown Michael Brown’s path to the practice of law differed from that of the typical first-year law student. Though he studied the same topics as his classmates — real property, wills and estates, civil litigation — he brought an unusual background and depth of experience to the task.

Mike began his professional life as a real estate title examiner and, later, a title insurance agent/underwriter. Early on, he earned a reputation for understanding the subject matter and precise attention to detail, such that local attorneys began using him as an expert witness in their civil cases. After a time, Mike came to understand that he could assist many more people by entering the practice of law and working to resolve real property and estate disputes before they went to litigation. Today, he maintains a respected real estate and estate planning practice in Rappahannock County and the surrounding area.

Having recently gone through the process of selling one home and purchasing another, Mike has been reminded of the importance of every single real estate closing that comes to his desk. More than ever, he realizes that each client is entrusting him with a matter extremely important to them, and he and his able support staff treat it with the care and attention it deserves. Mike and his staff strive to ensure that they meet the goals of every client they work with professionally and efficiently, within budget and on time.

Although Mike focuses his practice on real estate and estate planning, his reputation as a thoughtful and thorough attorney attracts many clients with other issues, such as litigation and land use matters, to his office. As the lead attorney of Walker Jones’s Rappahannock office in Washington, Virginia, he is always glad to meet with new clients.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
