About

My practice as an attorney can be summed up in one word: FOCUS. Focus on divorce and family law; focus on the people of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County; focus on creating solutions; and, most importantly —Focus On Your Needs, Goals And Best InterestsMeeting the needs and goals of my clients and protecting their best interests is always my primary concern. For this reason, finding out exactly what those needs, goals and interests are is first on the agenda. As a sole practitioner, I have the ability to manage my own caseload and to take the time necessary to get to know you. Then I provide:Answers — As a certified family law specialist, I can provide you with clear answers related to topics ranging from divorce mediation to the family law appellate process. I will keep you fully informed and up-to-date, clearly explaining the legal options available to you at every stage of the process. Calls and other inquiries are returned promptly.Advice — Although it is nice to be able to tell a client exactly what he or she wants to hear, doing so is rarely in a person's best interest. What I can promise you is that I will always provide you with an honest legal opinion based on my years of experience. Final decisions are yours to make.Advocacy — There is no way to overstate the strain and stress these issues can cause. I have found that what helps to ease some of the anxiety and distress my clients feel is simply the knowledge that they have a passionate advocate fighting for them. As my client, you will never feel as though you have anything less.I Am A Board-Certified Family Law SpecialistThe title of board-certified family law specialist is granted to a select few attorneys. It is granted by the Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education for achieving rigorous standards of experience, knowledge and dedication to a specific area of practice.

This is the 2nd time I retained SRB for filing a divorce. I was referred to Susan in 2007 and she asked me "what is your wish list". Since I had 2 little boys to protect from an escalating DV situation - I simply wanted to leave the marriage quickly and painlessly as possible, with half and my sons. A month after the divorce, the recession hit and I was left with a home I could not sell, I was laid off and unable to find employment for a year, mounting debt and I swore I would never let myself get in that situation again. Eventually I started a new career, raised my sons, got out of debt and met soon to be ex no.2. I will provide more detailed reviews once finalized. My life has changed drastically in less than 3 months and having SRB as my angel attorney I feel less worry because I know she will protect and do what is in my best interest always - as she does for all her clients. We all need more people like SRB in the world of family law.

I have been a client of Susan Brown since 2011. My visitation and custody situation is particularly difficult and complicated. Susan has pressed forward over the years to ensure the most appropriate outcome, often has requested, but even if it was not what I wanted to hear. That said, she will fight for you, and the best interest of the child, and is well connected and experienced in South Florida which frankly matters. I was glad she was on my team, and not the opposing counsel.

Susan came highly recommended from a family member of mine who also happens to be a well respected New York Judge. Susan has kept my needs and interests a priority above all else . I feel she is highly experienced, qualified and both her and her staff were professional from the very first phone call and helped me every step of the way during my case. I am truly grateful for all her sensitivity and emotional support she had to give me due to the fact I am diagnosed with a mental illness. I would recommend her highly and I can not thank her enough for all that she has done for me and continues to do as well.

I had a divorce case when I was in my 20s. It was a terrible experience. I was pleasantly surprised at my most recent experience with Susan as my lawyer. The case went better than I hoped and she was there for me when my Husband acted like the jerk that he is.

I met Susan at the worst time in my life, my divorce when my son was just four months old. My ex suffered from bipolar disorder and took me on the most hurtful crazy rides anyone could ever imagine, he filed papers on a daily basis, it was a nightmare. Susan represented me and my child and she stopped all the madness that I felt, before knowing her, would never go away. She provided me with a grasp that I so desperately needed, that firm hold that kept me together, she gave me the vision I so much needed to see ahead. Susan Brown inspires, her sense of strength and validation was the most important part of my healing. I will never stop recommending her, she is the BEST attorney in the world, incredibly knowledgeable and always prepare to take on any challenge anyone brings her.

My ex wifehas a wealthy family and an unlimited budget. I am a professional but dont have unlimited money. Susan got me the parenting schedule I wanted with my son and a fair financial settlement. My ex wife went through 4 lawyers. She kept firing them after they lost hearings. Susan stood up to and beat my exes high pirced lawyers.

My daughter works long hours as an emergency room physician. I am writing this review for her and as a greatful grandmother. When my daughter decided to file for divorce, I came to Florida to help her find the best lawyer for what promised to be a nasty divorce. My daughter's "good for nothing husband" threatened to keep her in Florida or take my grandchildren away. To add insult to injury, her Husband asked for her to pay him alimony and attorney's fees. Susan told her it would be an uphill battle to get to leave the state with children but that she thought she had a fighting chance of being able to relocate out of state. In the end my daughter (and grandchildren) won after going before the judge. I am happy to have my daughter and grandchildren nearby. My daughter has a great job and I get to take care of my grandchildren while she works. I dont think we could have gotten this great result without Susan. She stood by us even when things got tough and my daughter wanted to give up on moving.

Even though I have an advanced degree and am a professional, I was nervous hiring a lawyer. My Husband, who had multiple affairs wanted me to pay him alimony. From the first time that I met her Susan made me feel at ease (even though she was kind of blunt in telling me what to expect). . My Husband seemed a little afraid of her when we were in court and at mediation. She ran circles around my Husband's attorney and made him look pretty stupid in court. I am glad that I found her.

My friend told me to go to her attorney because she was cheaper. My Mom told me to go to the best one. My case got done faster and I got a better settlement then my friend. Every time that I tell my ex I that am going to call her, he backs off.

She represented me a few months ago. After 2 less qualified lawyers I finally found a professional in a field where most seem to be amateurs.
