Attorney Profile
Jerome A. Brown
Attorney at Law
Personal Background
I think it matters that you know more about me than just my credentials. Knowing where I come from helps explain why I enjoy and care so much about this work and why I can relate to what my clients are going through.
I grew up poor, in a large blue-collar family on a small Texas farm. I have supported myself since I was fifteen. I worked manual labor to pay my own way through college and law school, so I know firsthand what it is to live with real financial hardship. That experience is a big part of why I represent people in debt-related cases the way I do, and why it never feels like just a case file to me.
Over the years I have also been fortunate to build a team of knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely empathetic staff. From the moment you become a client, you will work directly with them throughout your case, and they care about your outcome as much as I do.
I have been fortunate with a supportive family and a law practice I am proud of. What I find most fulfilling is helping people get a genuine fresh start. Let me help you get yours.
