Details

Scott M. Brown is the founder and senior partner of Scott M. Brown & Associates, a premier law firm with offices in Angleton, Pearland, and League City, Texas.

Mr. Brown is board certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.  Out of all the attorneys in the State of Texas, less than 1% are board certified in Divorce and Family Law, which distinguishes Mr. Brown as an expert in the field of Divorce and Family Law.  This certification recognizes his extensive expertise and proven results in the field of divorce and family law.

For more than two decades, Mr. Brown has led a team dedicated to achieving exceptional outcomes for clients facing life’s most difficult challenges. His firm focuses on complex family law matters, including high-conflict child custody disputes, high-net-worth divorces, and cases involving Child Protective Services (CPS). In addition, the firm maintains a strong criminal defense practice, handling serious matters such as domestic violence, assault, drug offenses, white-collar crimes, juvenile defense, DUI/DWI, sex crimes, and major felonies.

Mr. Brown earned his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and History from Rice University in 1997, followed by his Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law in 2000. A former college baseball player who went on to play semi-professionally after law school, he brings that same drive, discipline, and competitive spirit to the courtroom. His background in athletics continues to shape his approach as a lawyer—strategic, resilient, and relentless in pursuit of victory for his clients.

Throughout his 24-year career, Mr. Brown has guided countless clients through the emotional and financial turmoil of family and criminal law cases. He understands that behind every legal issue is a human story—families, futures, and reputations on the line. Known for his compassion and straightforward counsel, he takes the time to explain options clearly, define achievable goals, and build a strategy tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.

As an accomplished trial attorney, Mr. Brown has earned a reputation for his commanding courtroom presence and proven results. He has secured numerous favorable verdicts in family law cases and multiple not guilty jury verdicts in serious criminal matters. His ability to blend sharp legal acumen with authentic care for his clients sets him apart as both a formidable advocate and a trusted advisor.

Mr. Brown’s professional excellence has been recognized across Texas. He holds an Avvo “Superb” rating, has been named among The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100, and was featured in H-Town Magazine’s Top Attorneys in Houston. Additionally, he has been honored annually in “Who’s Who in Brazoria County” since 2003.

He remains an active member of the Brazoria County Bar Association and the Family Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, continuing to lead with integrity, passion, and an unwavering commitment to justice.
