Welcome To Browns The Family Lawyers
Specialist Expertise | Personal Service
I care about quality. A lot. As Robert Pirsig said in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance “care and quality are internal and external aspects of the same thing. A person who sees quality and feels it as he works is a person who cares. A person who cares about what he sees and does is a person who’s bound to have some characteristics of quality”.
Quality in the law requires technical expertise, and the attention of a person who cares about your case. Not many law firms are capable of or prepared to deliver both. I am.
Another word which is important to me is alacrity, which has been defined as “a brisk and cheerful readiness.” I think a lawyer who cares about their clients should do their job with alacrity.
Closely related to my commitment to alacrity is my “no Hoo Ha policy”. “Hoo Ha” has been defined as a condition of agitation, disturbance, commotion or uproar, which is the last thing people need from their lawyer. Sadly, it is exactly what most family law solicitors provide. I don’t do Hoo Ha.
