Mr. Brown is of counsel at Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro where he has worked since 2008. His practice focuses on class actions involving consumer related claims.

Prior to joining the firm Mr. Brown's practice focused on representing people pursuing their rights as consumers and, in particular, as home mortgage borrowers. In the course of litigating cases involving predatory lending, Mr. Brown has helped establish significant legal precedent that has helped inform the law regarding consumer rights used throughout the country.

At HBSS Mr. Brown continues to represent home mortgage borrowers who were subjected to predatory practices at the hands of lenders, mortgage brokers, title insurers, and escrow companies. He is also pursuing claims on behalf of banking customers who were repeatedly charged overdraft fees on their checking accounts because of the way their banks manipulated their transactions.

Mr. Brown received his B.A. in history from Grinnell College in 1991 and his J.D., magna cum laude, from Seattle University School of Law in 1999. Before entering the practice of law, Mr. Brown served as a combat tank gunner in the Israeli Defense Force, worked with homeless youth in New York, and tended bar in some of America's finest establishments. He is admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Washington, U.S. District Court for the Western and Eastern Districts of Washington, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
