I find Mr. Brown to be a very untrustworthy individual to work with. Initially, he comes across as very helpful and friendly, but over time you realize he’s doing what’s best for his firm. Often he makes up concerns, demands, issues, etc., to get what his client wants. The second worst part is Mr. Brown has repeatedly requested that the Judge have me pay for all of his attorney fees related to the made-up concerns, demands, or issues. To my surprise, the Judge's thankfully denied each of Mr. Brown's requests for reimbursement for erroneous fees. That should say a lot about his character. Each of the Judges we worked with over the past eight years saw through the dishonesty and denied each of Mr. Brown's requests for erroneous fee reimbursement.
My concern is in the past 8 years of working with Jason Brown, I continue to see him only look out for his client's best interest, and not the children involved. Please email me at

Jason Brown struggles with being honest. Jason follows money is the money. He doesn’t follow his fiduciary responsibility as a Minnesota attorney. . Instead, he is consumed by greed from case after case. Instead of doing what’s right, he will follow his clients instructions regardless, if they’ve been convicted of child abuse.
I noticed if you look at Jason Brown’s Google, Avvo and Lawyers.com reviews, he has MANY one star reviews and in many of those he responds with similar zero accountability response. Thing is all of these cases are public record. Don’t take my word. So many one star reviews.. Instead, I encourage you to read his responses, pull up his cases, and you can read how instead of taking accountability, JasonBrown just denes it al. If you take the time, you can read and verify that is one star reviews have validity to them. Jason Brown is not a good MN lawyer, and I sadly have also seen fist hand the lengths Jason Brown will go to protect his now convicted child abusing client. Jason helped her get away with it for six years. It took CPS getting involved many times and then she was finally convicted.

Jason Brown
Probably the worst divorce attorney [if you can even call him that] that ever existed. I started out at his firm with a wonderful female lawyer which was what i preferred. i did not want a male lawyer. also tried to save money by going with a Champlin firm vs a Minneapolis firm. so not the case!!!!! charged the same or more than Minneapolis lawyers. Apparently I was too emotional [which is entirely normal for a woman who is being dumped by her husband of 21 years] and she turned my case over to Jason Brown who did not even care about my case. All our calls were on speaker so i was made sure that i would not get emotional. he put me on hold to respond to another call which was to my husband's attorney.. when i asked him how the call went he said they were laughing together - not what you want to hear from your lawyer. Anyway, needless to say with this guy, he was not, so not there for me during the whole process. I literally felt like i was representing myself. Kinda wished I had my husband's attorney!! Message to women going through a devastating divorce. DO NOT GO TO JASON BROWN FOR LEGAL ADVISE!!!!! A HUGE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!!!!! After the divorce was finalized [no help from him] I had to go to his office so he could read my entire decree to me. What, like I wasn't able to read it myself? And of course charged me for the time. Meanwhile construction workers were running around updating his Law Office at what looked like to be at a great expense.. Anyway - looser! Waste of money. Not a care to what you are going thru. Hugh waste.. Terrible attorney, if you can call him that.. Ladies, there are so many great lawyers out there.. Pay the extra, it is so worth it.. Good luck!!!

I filed for divorce after my husband was arrested for domestic assault. Jason represented me in my divorce and in my order for protection hearing.
I owned a condo that I purchased from my parents on a contract for deed. During the divorce process, we asked Jason multiple times about the condo, and his response was always, "Don't worry about it. Your husband has no legal claim on it because you bought it on a contract for deed and his name was never on the title." He was wrong. I recently sold my condo and at closing, the title company told me that my ex-husband still had marital interest in the property because Jason did not ask opposing counsel for a quitclaim deed. Jason also bungled my divorce decree and did not specify that ownership of the condo was being transferred to me.
I explained to the title company that my husband was arrested for domestic assault and there is a permanent no contact order in place for my protection. They told me to ask my divorce lawyer to draft a quitclaim deed, send it to opposing counsel, and tell them to have my ex-husband sign it. We reached out to Jason twice and he never responded. I am truly astonished by his unprofessionalism.
Jason's lack of real estate knowledge almost cost the sale of my condo. In the end, the title company generously drafted a quitclaim, and my parents reached out to my ex-husband, who agreed to sign it. We still haven't heard back from Jason.
My divorce cost over $20,000 and we didn't even go to trial. One of my friends represented himself in his divorce and put the correct real estate wording in his divorce decree. This is extremely frustrating.
I was very poorly represented by Jason.

The following is a personal opinion.
My case was started with a junior attorney on staff. I felt a connection and more importantly I trusted them. Part way through my case Jason took over. He led me to believe he could get better results. All I got was a larger bill and after many failing, I began to distrust him personally. Feeling like you aren’t getting good legal advice is one thing, believing you are being manipulated just to collect more legal fees is another. His goal seamed to be collecting a lot of fees and not following up on my requests.
During pretrial the opposing counsel were aggressive. They asked for numerus documents and proof of income and most egregious my monthly expenses. Which Jason insisted I provided even though none of these were reciprocated by the other side. When I asked why it was anyone’s busines how much I spent on Gasoline, food, clothes etc. He said it showed openness. It took a lot of time to assemble and document these; more billable hours. I personally felt he was more worried about how the judge felt about him. He wanted to look good and let my case slide through the judge’s case load with ease. This would make both their lives easier; my case was secondary.
Home studied, personality tests. My child was interviewed! My goal, from the beginning, was primary custody. The opposing side wanted 50/50, from the beginning. Very near the end (we were at the courthouse) my original lawyer (junior in the office) came to me and said the ‘word in the court house’ was that my judge always gave 50/50 unless one party was completely irresponsible.
Why hadn’t he felt the judge out months ago? Jason insisted we continue in court, and was able to bill more hours. $$$$$$$
It all ended in 50/50 and the judge assigned how the time would be divided. The judge imposed every other holiday. Jason even screws this up. He made out the list and forgot to included Memorial and Labor Day on the list. Even though I had requested they be included as holidays.
I could have gone before the court and got the same deal representing myself and saves +$20,000. Having a lawyer did not help me at all!
Jason goes though the minimal effort just to billing hours. If you want someone who will aggressively fight for you, I recommend another firm. Jason’s priorities are in his self-interest not yours.

While I respect Jason as a professional attorney, it became very clear early in our relationship that his first priority was collecting a lot in legal fees and not following through on my requests. Just prior to ending representation, he wanted to collect a $25,000 retainer.
During our court proceedings, opposing counsel aggressively made demands. Jason failed to counter aggressively, which meant my pleas were never adequately heard by the court. And opposing counsel wasn't forced to provide support for their unsubstantiated claims.
I would recommend you find someone who will aggressively fight for your rights. Jason unfortunately has other priorities.

I could not be happier with Jason and his firm. They made a difficult process easier to navigate. While my divorce was fairly simple it did have a few hiccups along the way, Jason and Pam were always on top of things. I would highly recommend Brown Law Offices.

My divorce is ongoing, extremely contentious, and is 2+yrs in the making. It involves child custody issues, marital property division and a contested prenup agreement.
I interviewed Jason 18 mos into it, searching for an additional lawyer to my current counsel, as the case load is enormous. I spoke with Jason very briefly on the phone, and sent him a few documents before our first meeting.
When I arrived, I was extremely impressed that Jason was already up to speed with what I was facing, and had committed to memory some of the most intricate details of my case.
His attention to detail far surpassed anyone I had interviewed at that point. He was and is, confident, poised and well versed in his field.
We have been to a few court proceedings since Jason came on board, with more on the horizon. Jason's demeanor and presence in the courtroom is commanding, impressive and persuasive.
It has been, and remains my experience, that Jason truly cares about his clients, and has their best interest at heart. He has the ability to stay on top of every detail, in a minimal time frame, thus keeping your costs down.
Don't get me wrong, he's not a 'budget' attorney, but you get what you pay for. To date, it's been worth every penny!!

Jason was the kind of lawyer that I was looking to represent me during a difficult divorce. He helped me to stay focused on the issues that were important to the well being of my children and defuse all the petty arguments that occur during divorce. He takes an approach that allows you to feel good about how you behaved and one that is looking out for the best of the children. I would recommend Jason and his law firm to anyone who needs an objected opinion to help you through a difficult time in your life

Jason and his firm are great at what they do and know the law inside and out. My case, in my opinion, was a difficult one where lots of irrelevant details kept surfacing. Jason was able to cut through the nonsense and focus on what was important. His approach of respect gave me peace of mind knowing that no underhanded tactics were taking place, while at the same time knowing at my position was not compromised or hindered. In fact, I believe this style helped my case because those making decisions appreciated a fact based approach.
Jason also has been in the industry for a long time. He uses this to his advantage because he knows how to formulate an argument tailored for each case and decision maker.

I just wrapped up my case a month ago with Jason and "his team". Not only were they not helpful in my case, as they passed my case around their office, I had to spend money explaining the facts and updated circumstances multiple times, costing me more time and money to his firm. I did not receive timely responses and it was clear that they do not work well and their case load is far too large if you are looking for attention to detail. I regret using them as they are priced on the higher end, and should have went elsewhere for my resolution.
