An Attorney in the Making

Christopher E. Brown was exposed to the world of law at a young age.

He further honed his abilities as a litigator by participating in a civil litigation law clinic where he represented D.C. residents in matters involving small claims. When other students were focusing solely on class, Christopher was already testing his abilities in the court room.

A Natural Born Litigator

After receiving his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center, he dove into the professional legal world head first. Brown fulfilled the challenging position of a judicial clerkship in the D.C. Superior Court until the fall of 1996 and 1997, he began practicing law alongside his father in the family firm which is now known as The Brown Firm PLLC.
