Robert S. Brown

Of Counsel

Robert Brown is a veteran trial attorney who has been inducted as a member of the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (“ABOTA”), a national, invitation-only organization of experienced trial attorneys and judges.

He began his career as a prosecutor with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office over two decades ago.  After trying numerous cases to verdict, Mr. Brown’s trial skills led him to be selected as part of the Rampart Corruption Scandal Unit where he defended the City of Los Angeles and LAPD officers in civil cases alleging police misconduct by the Rampart Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (“C.R.A.S.H.”) unit.  After those cases concluded, Mr. Brown represented the City of Los Angeles and its employees in all forms of employment lawsuits, including multi-million dollar claims for retaliation and discrimination.

Mr. Brown left the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office to join the trial team of a large, state-wide defense firm where he continued to try employment and civil rights cases on behalf of a number of municipalities.  Following that, Mr. Brown joined the Los Angeles office of a successful mid-sized plaintiffs’ law firm concentrating in complex civil litigation matters such as multi-district mesothelioma and asbestos litigation.

For the last decade, Mr. Brown has been trying and litigating a variety of plaintiff cases in state and federal courts.  Among the types of cases he has handled are shareholder cases (direct and derivative), business disputes, intellectual property disputes and plaintiff’s employment cases.  He has litigated numerous cases against Fortune 50 and Fortune 500 companies, and his extensive trial experience has resulted in, among others, a multi seven-figure verdict and an eight-figure post-trial settlement.
