A Lifetime of Accomplishment
As an african-american beginning his legal career in 1960, Mr. Brown served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, appointed by Robert F. Kennedy. Since then he has championed the rights of individuals in both civil and criminal matters in the District of Columbia and Virginia State and Federal Courts. His trial record and reputation in the D.C. Metro Region is excellent as evidenced by his 30 years with the highest AV rating from Martindale Hubbell.
Early Career
Edwin C. Brown, Jr., was employed by the Internal Security Division of the Department of Justice as Special Assistant to Atty. General Robert Kennedy. In that capacity he tried espionage cases in federal courts throughout the nation. Ed Brown was invited to transfer to the US Attorney’s office given his trial success and high security clearance. He also served on the President’s Crime Commission (appointed by Lyndon B. Johnson) that implemented the national phone number “911.”
Carrying On Tradition
Ed Brown, Jr. further developed his impressive legal career by negotiation a contract with Allstate Insurance Company to manage all legal defense work for Allstate insureds. This project led to the incorporation of a small minority owned firm.

Edwin C. Brown, Jr. currently supports clients alongside his son at The Brown Firm PLLC.
