I have prosecuted numerous severe injury claims and wrongful death suits and have litigated hundreds of claims representing victims of asbestos exposure. I am proud to have served as co-counsel in what is believed to be the largest individual asbestos settlement in the District of Columbia, and to have obtained tens of millions of dollars in awards and settlements for our clients.
I also routinely represent business clients in commercial disputes including breach of contract cases, brokerage disputes, and litigation involving real estate. Business cases occasionally require arbitration, and I have many years of experience in the arbitration of claims under both the American Arbitration Association guidelines and JAMS rules.
I like what we have built here at Brown Kiely, LLP. We are a family of lawyers that enjoys rolling up our sleeves and doing quality work for our clients. I like coming into the office every day because I enjoy the people here. They challenge me to be a better lawyer.
Before forming Brown Kiely, LLP, I worked at a firm in Washington, D.C. litigating commercial cases in the courts of the District of Columbia and Maryland; and prior to that I worked at one of South Florida’s premiere asbestos litigation firms. Over the course of more than twenty-five years, I have continued to represent individuals and businesses in state and federal courts. I have tried cases in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Florida and West Virginia, and have represented my clients’ interests in the courts of Virginia and Delaware.
Criminal Litigation
In this case, Daniel J. Brown challenged his conviction on grounds that his trial counsel was ineffective in various respects (e.g. failing to object to a sentencing enhancement, failing to provide a psychiatric evaluation, and not having certain case law at sentencing). The court examined each claim under the standard from Strickland v. Washington and rejected them, holding Brown did not show that counsel’s alleged errors prejudiced his case.
