Stephen D. Brown
Combining twelve years of business experience and counsel with twenty years of litigation advocacy, Stephen understands the practice of law from a client's perspective.

Stephen believes there is no substitute for dedication and passion in advancing client goals, and he provides the same work ethic and creative advocacy for all his clients.
