George MacAvoy Brown
George MacAvoy Brown has over ten years of experience in the legal field, is licensed to practice in Michigan and Illinois, and is admitted to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
Prior to joining LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C., Mr. Brown headed his own successful criminal defense practice in St. Clair Shores, Michigan where he quickly built a reputation as a ferocious and effective advocate for his clients. He was hand picked by LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C. because he was widely becoming known for being one of the most effective criminal defense lawyers in Michigan. His past legal career involved complex corporate litigation at Kirkland Ellis LLP in Chicago representing Fortune 500 companies in multi-million dollar lawsuits. He also served in a variety of leadership positions on presidential and congressional campaigns throughout Illinois. Before law school, Mr. Brown worked as a paralegal with the litigation arm of Zuckerman Spaeder, LLP in Washington, DC where he prepared Supreme Court briefs and represented presidential campaigns, corporate clients, and American Indian nations. His experience in the nation’s capital extended to communications roles with members of the U.S. House of Representatives from Oregon and New York.
Mr. Brown’s adaptability and rich diversity of professional experience have served him well in his very successful criminal defense practice. In both federal and state courts, he represents those accused of misdemeanor and felony crimes including drunk driving, domestic violence, fraud, possession of controlled substances, probation/parole violations and a multitude of other offenses. Mr. Brown additionally provides representation to those seeking expungements, driver’s license reinstatements, gun rights restorations, corrections of erroneous criminal records, personal protection orders, and other quasi-criminal matters. What he relishes most about his position as a criminal defense attorney is the ability to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, viewing each case as a unique opportunity to bring his expertise, knowledge, and tenacity to bear in the pursuit of creative solutions to complicated legal problems. He has built a widely known reputation for tenaciously fighting to achieve the client’s objectives even in the face of overwhelming odds.
Mr. Brown received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science from Miami University and his Juris Doctor from Western New England College of Law.
