Established in 2002, the Law Office of Jeffrey R. Brown, Esq., LLC proudly provides representation in all aspects of divorce and family law in New Jersey. While general information related to divorce and family law is provided on this website, each person’s needs are unique. There is no substitute for a personal consultation with a Middlesex County divorce lawyer to discuss the details of your situation.
The firm’s approach is to offer clients a realistic assessment of their case at the first meeting, to provide a framework as to how the process will unfold, and to put them at ease and answer all their questions to the extent possible. Clients are advised to come to the initial appointment with a rough idea of which assets and liabilities exist, as well as a rough idea as to the earnings of both parties. Sometimes we will identify at the first meeting certain pieces of information that must be obtained before a fully informed opinion can be offered by the attorney. At all times, we strive to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. We represent people throughout Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, as well as the surrounding areas.
Born in 1973, Jeffrey R. Brown grew up in East Brunswick and continues to both work as well as reside there with his wife and son. Jeffrey began his legal career in 1998 as a law clerk to Superior Court Judge Vincent LeBlon when Judge LeBlon was assigned to the Middlesex County Family Court. After completing his one-year Family Court clerkship for Judge LeBlon, which was an invaluable learning experience, Jeffrey went on to practice divorce and family law at another East Brunswick law firm until 2002, when he established his own practice. Jeffrey’s practice has expanded over the years to include residential real estate closings, Municipal Court traffic violations, as well as consumer bankruptcy.
Divorce clients usually begin the process with a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty. Oftentimes, they may have received well-intentioned but inaccurate information from well-meaning friends or family members, or they may have received erroneous information on the internet.
Jeffrey’s approach is to try to provide a realistic roadmap of the process at the initial consultation and to provide the prospective client with some scenarios of what might be expected gong forward. Common questions to be addressed at an initial meeting usually include “Will I have to pay alimony and for how long?” “How much alimony am I entitled to receive?” “What bills should I be paying during the divorce?” “What will happen to our house?” “Should I move out of the house while the divorce is pending?” “How will our credit card debts be divided?”
