Overview
|
| Suspended for 90 days, effective 30 days from a Jan. 17 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1995) Two cousins charged with felonies visited Brown\'s office together and signed retainer agreements presented to them by Brown\'s paralegal. One of the men paid $700 and agreed to pay $250 a month until the $3,500 fee for his representation was paid. Brown actively represented one client but failed to diligently represent him or communicate with him. Brown accepted money from the other client, appeared in court and filed pleadings for him, but she never personally told him that another lawyer was representing him. Because the cousins\' interests were directly adverse, Brown\'s representing both of them was improper. (Case No. SC04-2119) |

Overview

| We are home owners in West Boca Raton, that for two long years have been trying to work with a construction company by the name of Alliance Contractors / Sla-tur out of Pompano Beach.
We've spent over 200K on a project that was originally set to be 160k and we are not even 20 percent done, the contractor did not even pay their subcontractors and they are now coming after us. We have documented the entire process however, it seems that we can't recover our money.
We wanted to know if this is something you get involved or can refer us to someone else. At this time we estimate that we were taken by more than 150K.
Would you be interested in helping us? Is there anyone else that can help? We are looking for options at this time that could potentially help us.
