Dana Brown
Rating:
5 / 4.6
With over 25 years of experience practicing law, Dana R. Brown brings depth and tenacity to every case she handles. Her breadth of knowledge serves as a platform for her determination and attention to detail that produces successful results and satisfied clients. She is recognized as a formidable advocate for her cleints and a great communicator by keeping clients informed and educated about their case.. While starting her legal career on the east coast, Dana began practicing criminal law in the Pacific Northwest in 1994. Her practice areas include adult and juvenile defense of both misdemeanor and felony crimes. Her positive reputation in conjunction with her experience in a wide variety of courts is a potent combination.. Her experience also includes civil court representation for those accused of child abuse or neglect, often referred to as Dependency actions or CPS investigations. Her criminal background is exceptionally beneficial for clients accused of child abuse or neglect in this arena in that she can protect and defend her clients’ constitutional rights and advise and protect her client if there is a contemporaneous criminal investigation, or threat of one. Dana is highly regarded for exceptional outcomes in complex dependencies involving alleged medical neglect or abuse of toddlers and infants.. Dana also serves students as part of her practice. Whether subject to a disciplinary investigation (including Title IX) at the university level or on the receiving end of a school district suspension or expulsion, Dana's experience navigating the procedural and substantive due process rights of her clients makes a difference. Education defense of students is a uniquie practice area where experience with the particular college or university, or school district administrators, counts. Her criminal defense experience also cannot be understated. Her ability to assist clients with contemporaneous law enforcement investigations arising out of the same alleged conduct as the student discipline case has saved her clients from having to hire two lawyers instead of one.. Additionally, Dana’s background in drug and alcohol abuse and addiction provides another layer of experience for advancing her client’s interests. As a former member of King County Drug Diversion Court , also acting as attorney supervisor, Dana gained a strong appreciation and understanding of the role drugs and alcohol in accused person’s life. Her broad knowledge of the sentencing alternatives and treatment courts available have made the difference in the outcome for many of her clients.. Dana is also active in the legal community. She is currently a member of the King County Bar Association’s Judicial Candidate Evaluation Committee which assists the public by providing ratings for judicial candidates. She was also a member for the Washington State Bar Association Character and Fitness Board which protects the public by ensuring that law students and other applicants are of good moral character and fitness prior to their admission into the practice of law in Washington state. She is also a member of the Washington Defender Association and the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
