TRUSTED LEGAL COUNSEL SINCE 1925
In 1925, when John F. Brown founded the firm that has grown into Brown & Brown PC, most lawyers were general practitioners who did “a little bit of everything”. In those days, the typical family lawyer would assist his client with his will, draft the deed for the family’s home, negotiate business contracts, work out disputes with neighbors over the fence line, litigate serious matters, and probate a client’s estate when he passed away.
As the years have passed and the law has become much more complicated, the general practitioner has been gradually replaced by specialists who concentrate their practices in “niche” areas of the law. Nowadays, you are likely to have one lawyer who helps you to sell your home, another lawyer who assists you when you merge your business with a competitor, and yet another lawyer who drafts your estate planning documents. This trend towards specialization is not, necessarily, a bad thing for clients, but, unfortunately, what often gets lost is the longstanding relationship between the general lawyer and client – the sense that the client has an advocate and trusted counselor on his or her side who knows the client’s individual needs and will support the client over the course of many ups and downs.
