Why This Firm?

If you live in the northwest Twin Cities and you're facing a divorce or custody case, Brown Law Offices is built for you. They know the Hennepin, Anoka, Sherburne, and Wright County family court judges by name — what each one prioritizes, how each one handles parenting time disputes, how each one rules on alimony.

Jason Brown writes one of Minnesota's most-read family law blogs (mnfamilylawblog.com), which signals two things: he explains things in plain English, and he's confident enough in his work to put it in public view. For a divorce that's going to need real advocacy — not just paperwork — that combination matters.

Contested Divorce · Anoka Co.
★★★★★
“High-conflict divorce. Two kids, business assets, retirement accounts. Brown walked me through it without making me feel stupid. We ended up with 50/50 parenting and a fair property split. Worth the hourly rate twice over.”

“Ex moved out of state with our daughter and tried to keep her there. Brown filed the right motion fast, and we got an emergency order to bring her back to Minnesota. I'm glad I called when I did.”

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

How much does a Minnesota divorce cost with Brown Law Offices?
Uncontested divorces with full agreement often range $2,500–$5,000 flat. Contested divorces vary widely — typically $7,500–$25,000+ depending on conflict level, custody disputes, and asset complexity. The free consultation includes a candid cost estimate for your facts.
How long does a Minnesota divorce take?
Uncontested divorces can finalize in 60–90 days. Contested cases typically take 6–14 months. High-conflict custody cases with custody evaluations can take 12–18 months.
Does the firm represent men, women, or both?
Both. The blog has a strong reputation among fathers because it covers father's rights candidly, but the firm represents mothers, fathers, and non-binary parents in custody and divorce matters.
Will my case go to trial?
Most don't. Roughly 90% of Minnesota family cases settle before trial through negotiation, mediation, or early neutral evaluation. Brown will prepare your case as if it's going to trial — which is often what produces a fair settlement.
Can the firm help with a divorce that involves a small business or farm?
Yes. Business valuation, separate-property tracing, and farm-asset divisions are part of the firm's regular work in the northwest metro and Wright/Sherburne counties.
