- Guardianship
- Juvenile CrimesWhile living in San Francisco, I maintained a solo general practice including trial and appellate matters in torts, business, family law, real property and juvenile law. I served as an instructor at Hastings College of Law, University of California, teaching Writing and Research. I had been previously employed part time by major San Francisco insurance defense firms in litigation support.
- Business DisputesI've been practicing law for over 40 years, and have been serving my clients as an estate planning attorney in Santa Cruz County since 1995. With a rich and varied background in civil litigation and business law, I specialize in crafting estate plans that address both complex legal issues and sensitive family dynamics.
- Business Transactions
- Social Security DisabilityI've focused on estate planning and administration, probate, conservatorships and special needs trusts since 1999, but have a wealth of experience beyond that specialization. I've worked as an associate attorney at a Santa Cruz law firm specializing in real property and business transactions. I have experience in property and business litigation on the trial and appellate levels. Earlier in my career in Santa Cruz, I was employed as an associate attorney at the Legal Aid Society of Santa Cruz, where I was responsible for Social Security disability federal court appeals as well as managing and successfully arguing a major class action appellate action.
- Estate Planning“ I wanted to work with someone I could trust, and someone that I thought my family could trust and work with. I found that person in Harriet Brown. She patiently listened to what I wanted and needed in estate planning. She sought first to understand my estate planning needs, and what I wanted set up functionally. After working through the details with me, she transformed what I wanted into the needed legal documents that safeguard and carry out my wishes legally. I am so glad that I found Harriet Brown to work with for my estate planning needs.
