Ted Brown represented me in my divorce and I’m glad he did. He was quick to respond to my emails/calls and gave thoughtful responses. Yes he can be curt, but it is a good thing as he is bluntly honest and tells you what you need to hear. He gives realistic expectations and great guidance. As you get to know him, you realize he has a heart of gold and will fight for you in court. He is hands down the best attorney I have ever met. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

From the moment he answered the phone during a blizzard in January I knew I found the right attorney to see me through my divorce. Fast, efficient and competent. I felt I was taken care of. Very pleased how it all turned out. Highly recommend Ted and his staff.

Ted was extremely professional and was quick to respond when I reached out to him regarding a legal matter. Ted advocated for me and made sure I completely understood every step of the process. He made an uncomfortable situation bearable. I am satisfied with how things turned out.

Mr. Brown has helped me on 3 separate occasions. First, in gaining a PFA and shortly there after primary parental rights to my eldest daughter. Second, as an officiant at my wedding! He definitely saved the day and made it a relaxed and fun event! Lastly, in helping my husbang and I achieve a step-parent adoption of my eldest daughter. What should have been a rather simple case was quickly turned on its head by my daughter's biological father. Mr. Brown was nothing but honest and straightforward with us about what to expect and what to be prepared for. He was patient and understanding as we navigated through the various decision making processes. It was a very stressful and emotional case for all parties involved, he made it tolerable with his wonderful sense of humor and wit!

Ted handled both my divorce and a motion to modify and delivered better results than I expected. He will give you the advice you need and provide useful, timely suggestions. If I find myself in court again concerning this matter, I will be there with Ted.

After two failed attempts to get a PFA on behalf of my children and two failed attempts with Child Protective Services to help me and my children it was now time to start a custody battle and I wanted to get professional help. I found Edward Brown (Ted). My first impression of Ted , this man is an odd duck with his late 80’s style fashion and hiking boots, then his phone range to the ringtone of a duck quacking. After talking with Ted for my initial consultation I realized I had found the right person for the job. The Maine family court system from my experience felt like a very complex and biased system. Ted never skipped a beat and was always one or more steps ahead. He knew exactly what to expect and what needed to be done. Ted kept me informed and was very honest. We soon had a new obstacle, a guardian ad litem with an unfavorable report. It was shortly after I realized just how brilliant and dedicated Ted was to doing everything he could to help me. Ted pointed out the inconsistencies and omitted vital details in the GAL report. He wrote his own report, a 35 page chronological record of events which obviously took him more time then he had charged me for. I really felt like this was just as important to Ted as it was for me and there is nothing more important to me then the safety and wellbeing of my children. Another great thing about Ted is that his office is local to the courthouse. I called Ted late one afternoon on an urgent matter just a couple hours before the court would close. Ted ran to the courthouse to meet me. He has a real sense of urgency. We had several status conferences with multiple objections from the opposing party. I don’t recall a single objection that Ted wasn’t able to win over. Ted was not only able to convince our GAL that he was wrong in his report and recommendations, he had influence on the opposing parties representation as well. I think one of the most valuable traits of Ted is that he is brilliant with his wording and experienced with custody hearings. I couldn’t be more satisfied with Ted and I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Ted Brown! I hired him to handle my divorce (a highly contentious, long and drawn-out affair) and found him to be extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and very smart too - strategically speaking. Ted is a good listener (not a "given" with every attorney), and he gives excellent advice. He heard out every concern I had, and was ready to discuss every topic intelligently and thoughtfully. He also brought a number of matters to my attention that I hadn't considered, which proved very helpful. Since the satisfactory outcome of my divorce settlement, I have continued to turn to Ted Brown for other legal matters too, including business affairs and estate planning. He is thorough, professional, and highly reliable. Thanks again for all your good work, Ted! I'll see you the next time I'm in need!

I felt that Ted really cared about my situation and put 100% into my case. He showed a lot of tenacity and backbone in dealing with my difficult divorce and hostile ex and has always been quick to answer any questions I've had. I've always had confidence that he was looking out for my best interests.
