The lawyers at Daniel Brown Law continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation. As always, our priority is the health and well-being of our firm members, clients, and community.

To do our part to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, effective Monday, March 16, 2020, and until further notice, our physical offices will be closed, barring emergencies. All lawyers will remain available but will be working remotely. We remain available to assist existing and new clients with their criminal matters. 

We understand that criminal charges can be particularly disruptive to our clients’ lives during this time. We are committed to serving you and will continue to operate at full capacity. Daniel Brown Law is pleased to offer both video and phone meetings and consultations. For existing and potential clients trying to reach a lawyer on his or her firm line, those calls will be automatically re-routed to each lawyer’s out-of-office location. We remain committed to providing high-quality, timely service to our clients. We also remain available for consultation with new clients. Do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

Court Updates:

To date, all courts have released a response plan regarding COVID-19-related closures. In short, almost all non-urgent matters originally scheduled to take place before the end of May including out-of-custody trial matters will be rescheduled.

For current clients, your lawyer will be in touch with you as soon as possible regarding the impact these court closures may have on your case.
