Biography

Attorney Janice P. Brown is the founder and senior partner in the
Brown Law Group. Growing up in Montana, Janice Brown went to
work for the U.S. Justice Department as a trial attorney in the tax
division in 1984. Recruited right out of law school into the
Justices’ Honor Program in Tax, Ms. Brown tried lawsuits on
behalf of the United States in venues throughout the western
United States, including Iowa, Colorado, Nebraska, California and
Texas.
 
In 1987, Janice Brown was chosen Trial Lawyer of the Year at the
US Department of Justice. This early recognition would prove to be
one of many honors and awards to follow. She went on to be a
partner in the firm Seltzer, Caplan, Wilkins and McMahon. She also
began to visualize the client-focused philosophy that would be
the basis for her own firm.
 
Ms. Brown’s commitment to excellence has earned her
numerous accolades and awards throughout her career, including
the following significant awards: Department of Justice – Trial
Lawyer of the Year, 1987; California Association of Black Lawyers
– Lawyer of the Year, 1995; Gonzaga University Alumni
Association - Distinguished Alumni Merit Award, 2010. In 2011,
Ms. Brown and Brown Law Group were awarded Supplier of the
Year by the San Diego Regional Minority Supplier Development
Council. Ms. Brown is rated AV®-PreeminentTM by Martindale and
has been recognized as a Super Lawyer since 2007.
 
Ms. Brown has been a mentor to numerous young lawyers, most
significantly in her role as a former TIPS Council member. Over
the past seven years, Ms. Brown has routinely spoken on attorney
career and business development issues for the ABA and other
professional legal organizations. In addition, she has developed
programs within her own law firm that she later tested and taught
to others in external law firm environments. Ms. Brown has
provable results. As a result, she decided to launch Beyond Law, a
consulting business focused on helping other lawyers reach their
full potential; developmentally, professionally and financially.
As a part of Beyond Law, Ms. Brown teaches a simple to use
business development tool named Cloudburst®. She has been
using the Cloudburst system for her firm since 2004.
Consequently, every year since then, Ms. Brown's book of
business, consisting of Fortune 1000 corporations, governmental
entities and local iconic businesses has grown to a multimillion
dollar book of business.
 
Ms. Brown attributes her success in part to adopting proven
business principles to the practice of law. Those principles
include setting goals, examining beliefs, applying emotional
intelligence and time management. As a practicing attorney, Ms.
Brown is uniquely qualified to assist lawyers in transforming their
practices without compromising their authenticity or their lives
and by creating more independence, flexibility and financial
reward.
