I highly recommend JB So after dealing with 4 other lawyers that did nothing to show my innocence, I was thrown into jail for crimes I NEVER committed. While being under complete duress and begging my family to find a great lawyer that would fight for me and for what was right. My family found Jonathan Brown (JB) JB was very thorough providing information to my family and nonstop contacting the DA’s office working on my case steady. I was facing a felony and 2 misdemeanors with NO bond. Well after securing JB as my lawyer all 3 charges were dropped and I finally got my freedom after 9 long months in jail. My life has been ruined and I’ve lost everything. Even my dog had to be put down because of all the stress of me not being there for her. So many bad things happen to me BUT with JB as my lawyer I’m now free, living my life. I didn’t take the easy way out by accepting a plea deal, but instead hired a lawyer that fought for what was right. The justice system doesn’t always work properly, and when that happens make sure you have someone by your side to do the right thing for YOU!

Thanks JB for everything. I’m beyond thankful I got my freedom back and got to be with my child aka Daisy (my dog) in her final days.

I would like to take this time to thank, Jonathon JB Brown, for representing my loved one. JB has been very patient, professional , he explained things to ensure we understood, and communicated effectively. JB saw the cases through to the end which subsequently ended with 9 dismissals, including 4 State Drug Trafficking Charges. I would gladly retain [him] again if needed in the future and I will recommend JB to others. Job Well Done, JB. Thank you for treating us as family.

JB was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, empathetic, and honest. He took the time to listen and answer questions. His integrity is to be applauded. Recently I hired Jonathan Brown as my attorney for a court case of mine and might I say he is one of the best lawyers I’ve ever had the experience of meeting and hiring. Just when I thought I was finally done for and I would definitely be going to jail to serve time Mr. Brown saved me. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to go up to bat for me. He showed me that there are attorneys out there who truly care about the people they’re fighting for and I couldn’t be more grateful for his services. He was able to get my charges dismissed in a swift, diligent, and respectful manner. As well the way he explained court procedures to me and negotiated with the prosecutor to fight for my side was above and beyond what I expected any lawyer to be able to do for me in my case. All in all I give him a ten out of five stars [] Thank you again Mr. Brown.

A special thank you to Jonathan Brown. My case was serious and I only had a few days to hire a criminal defense attorney for a domestic violence charge. I called Jonathan and he was able to meet with me quickly to ensure I would be ready for court. He was very competent, knowledgeable, compassionate and reassured me during a tough time. He clearly explained everything and kept me well informed. After a couple of months of hard work he was able to resolve the case. DISMISSED. I highly recommend Jonathan Brown [] if you need a top criminal defense lawyer.

The Defense Process

PRE-CHARGE & INVESTIGATION

Don’t wait until charges are filed. If you’ve been contacted by law enforcement or believe you may soon face charges, reach out immediately. We conduct a pre-charge investigation to challenge the prosecution’s narrative and potentially prevent charges from being filed. This proactive approach ensures we’re prepared to defend you from the very beginning.

ARREST & PRE-TRIAL

The arrest is just the beginning, but every decision made at this stage can impact your future. We ensure your rights are protected and set the foundation for a strong defense. Afterward, through pre-trial motions, we aggressively litigate issues, fight for full discovery, suppress inadmissible evidence, and resolve critical legal matters to give you the best chance before trial. We challenge their evidence and uncover facts that strengthen your defense. By acting early, we create opportunities to shift the momentum in your favor.

TRIAL

The courtroom is where battles are won or lost. With years of trial experience, we know how to deliver compelling arguments and dismantle the opposition’s case. At trial, we leave nothing to chance. Our team fights relentlessly to secure acquittals, reduce penalties, or achieve the best possible outcome.

Criminal Defense FAQs

When you’re facing a criminal charge, the unknowns can feel overwhelming. Before we talk, here are some of the most common questions I get — answered straight, without the legal fluff.

Your Defense Starts Here
Do I really need a lawyer if I haven’t been charged yet?

Yes. The earlier you involve a defense attorney, the more control we have to protect your rights — even before charges are filed.

You’ll talk directly with a criminal lawyer. We’ll ask questions, answer yours, and explain the legal path ahead — no pressure, no commitment.

Let’s talk first. Every case is different, and I offer flexible options depending on the situation.

It depends on the evidence, the DA, and your record. I’ve had many cases dismissed, but I’ll always give you the real answer — not false hope.

Not at all. Law enforcement already has a head start — hiring a lawyer just means you’re taking your future seriously and protecting your rights from the start.

Always. Everything you share stays between us. I handle every case with absolute discretion — your privacy and trust come first.

When you’re facing criminal charges, your whole world can feel like it’s turned upside down. You need someone in your corner who you can trust, someone who will fight tirelessly for you. That’s JB Brown.

I can confidently say he’s the kind of criminal defense attorney who will go above and beyond for his clients. He’s got this incredible combination of criminal legal expertise and genuine compassion. That’s why I partnered with him.

With JB, you’re not just getting a criminal Defense attorney; you’re getting an advocate, a champion, and someone who truly cares.
