About
Over our numerous years, cases and circumstances in representing clients in all types and emotional levels of court cases, we have come to recognize and appreciate that clients must feel comfortable with their attorney and have complete confidence in their representation. To that end, it is vital that the client and attorney have liberal communication concerning the ongoing status of the case and for the attorney to keep the client abreast of ongoing legal and factual issues concerning the case.I began practicing law and litigating in 1983 as a Clarke County Assistant District Attorney while still in The University of Georgia Law School under Georgia’s Third Year Practice Act. My focus in Law School was in Criminal Law and Litigation. I secured a position as an Assistant District Attorney in the Northeastern Judicial Circuit while still in Law School. I was an Assistant District Attorney from 1985 through 1994, achieving the status of Senior Assistant and then Chief Assistant District Attorney before entering into private practice. During that prosecutorial period, I prosecuted over 2000 felony cases and tried over 100 felony jury trials and 150 misdemeanor jury trials ranging from traffic offenses and minor felonies through death penalty murder cases.In 1995, I entered into private practice. Initially My practice involved criminal defense, personal injury, family law and representing Lumpkin County as its County Attorney. Presently I have limited my representation of private practice clients to Personal Injury, Criminal Defense and Divorce and Child Custody cases in all Georgia State, Superior and Appellate Courts and the United States Supreme Court.More specifically, I represent clients in all serious bodily injuries and deaths resulting from: automobile and other motor vehicle related wrecks and injuries; negligently maintained unsafe conditions on either private, commercial (stores, offices, etc.) or government locations (slip and fall, etc.); and most other negligently and intentionally inflicted bodily injuries. I have represented over 300 personal injury clients recovering over millions in damages for my clients.I represent clients in all criminal cases including but not limited to all Felony and Misdemeanor charges, bond hearings, preliminary hearings, suppression hearings, jury trials, probation revocation charges, appeals, habeas corpus petitions and juvenile charges. I have defended over 650 criminal cases since going into private practice.And I represent clients in Divorce and Child Custody litigation – from simple and uncontested cases to complex, “knockdown” cases. I have represented over 250 divorce and family law clients

William (Bill) Brownell was cool, calm, and organized when he handled a case I was involved in. He gave me plenty of conference time to discuss my case and concerns. He was ALWAYS prepared for court (even when the prosecution was not!) He kept my best interests first, and NEVER made me feel unsure of his plans. His guidance, strait forwardness, follow through, and even aftercare was tremendous in my getting this behind me. Thanks Bill, you are a true professional in all areas!
Mr. Brownell is a good person and an outstanding lawyer. He is highly qualified and takes pride in each case. I wouldn't feel comfortable going to anyone else after having the best.
Bill Brownell is a very knowledgeable attorney. He will walk you through every aspect of your legal needs. He always stayed in contact with me as to keep me up to date with each step in my case. His legal fees are very reasonable and he was always very straight forward. Mr Brownell was always very nice and made me feel comfortable when asking questions I needed more information about.
My case isn't over yet, but I felt compelled to go ahead and write a review. When I called Mr. Brownell's office seeking representation for my Divorce, HE answered the phone. I was dumbfounded! He spoke to me for a while, asking excellent questions, and then quoted me a reasonable retainer fee. I immediately scheduled an appointment. Every meeting I have had with him since has left me feeling at ease and confident about my case. I know he is a very busy man, but he makes me feel like I am his only client. I have never felt rushed. Mr. Brownell is very intelligent, knowledgeable about the law, and he sincerely cares about his clients. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me. Truly a good man and a good attorney!!!!!
Mr. Brownell recently represented me in my divorce, he was absolutely GREAT!!! He was in constant contact with me throughout every step of the way, which I feel is VERY important!! He was sure to inform me of every detail of my case. He responded to all my calls and emails in a very timely manor. He was professional, caring, understanding, encouraging and fair. I am beyond satisfied with his representation and would recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.
YES.. We will absolutely recommend Mr. Brownell! And will certainly use him as our Attorney, if ever in need. Mr. Brownell went above and beyond in my husbands case. He was always in contact, and answered ever email I sent, and took all of my calls "Himself", if not when I called due to being in Court or with his clients, he always returned my call and was pleasant when doing so. Our case took some time due to the Defendant side, and OUR Hearing lasted a total of three minutes. (With exceptional results). My suggestion to anyone needing his help, call him. Even if its a case you feel he won't handle, you too, may be very surprised. If your looking for an excellent, honest, skilled and very knowledgeable Attorny I suggest you call him FIRST. I will! Thank you Mr. Brownell for all you do, and have done. You ARE the best! ~ D. Powers
Mr. Brownell's experience and integrity became evident during his handling of my divorce in May of 2013. During a very emotional hard time (Bill) kept me focused with my best interest in mind. I highly recommend his services. Sincerely Greg Fields
