Divorces generally fall into two categories:
- Uncontested divorces: Where both parties agree on all terms before trial, eliminating the need for litigation.
- Contested divorces: Where disagreements remain on some or all issues, requiring a judge to make the final decisions.

I cannot recommend Fredian enough. The advice I received was thoughtful, realistic, and always in my best interest — not just legally, but emotionally and practically. Fredian never pushed, but instead helped me weigh my options and feel confident in the path I chose.

If you need a family law attorney, Fredian should be your first choice. She is kind, compassionate, and so knowledgeable. She is a great communicator and very transparent about the legal process and how attainable legal goals are. You will always feel heard and seen by Fredian. I worked with Fredian as an attorney and was always impressed by her dedication and commitment.

You never want to be in the shoes of needing to hire someone to represent you. It means things are in a place where the stakes are high, and you are likely nervous/anxious/upset, the list goes on. When I met Fredian, I was upset about how a previous hearing/attorney had manifested, and wrong evidence had been mixed into my case. This was a previous attorney. When I tell you that immediately after shaking hands with Fredian, I felt like everything was going to be okay, this is not an exaggeration. She has a calming, genuine, and real presence. She sat with me for over an hour just to fine-tooth comb through my list of important things I wanted out of my case. I feel like she truly heard my fears and worries and executed a high level of empathy and active listening. Turns out I never got to see her litigate, which is excellent because she helped me reach a settlement far better than I could have expected. We returned to the drawing board several times and got the best outcome for my situation and kids. I hope I never see Fredian again on a professional note. But if I see her around, I owe her a huge, warm hug for keeping my family safe and together. Thank you Fredian and Tifani for all the acts of service and dedication to my case. The GOAT!

We met with attorney Tarl Johnson. He was very personable and professional. He provided professional guidance and recommendations on how to proceed with our legal decisions. I would highly recommend Mr. Johnson. On a human note, he was really a down to earth guy while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. Gold Star!

Tarl Johnson is incredble! He’s super kind and thoughtful outside of court, inside court he’s a pitbull (for you). He’s everything you want him to be. My biggest gripe (and even joke) I have always had with/about lawyers is “You want to hire someone YOU don”t even like. Someone nasty and mean and vicious. Because that’s what you need inside the courtroom fighting for you. I didn’t know there were guys like Tarl whom you could really call a friend outside of court, and a vicious advocate inside the court. Bottomline, he’s the best of both worlds. Highly recommended.

My husband and I hired Tarl back in October of 2024. Originally I needed help with a protective order against an ex (who I share children with), which quickly got messy with family involvement and the anxiety of not knowing what would be the best option for everyone. I felt that Tarl genuinely cared about how upset and alone I was feeling trying to navigate the situation. Hearing his personal story and what he has overcome himself, has really left me confident and trusted his advice. We ended up finding a solution that was better than the original protection order. Even after my case was settled, and my ex showed up to Tarl office, he was still supportive and helped me with the anxiety of that as well. Since then I had to do some work on myself to heal from the trauma/fear of what lead to us contacting Tarl, but I am so grateful for his help and understanding. His advice goes beyond what attorneys are required and I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling through their own scary situation.

I’m so grateful for Tarl at Brown Family Law and the advice he’s given me over the last year as I’ve needed help navigating divorce. He’s always available when I have questions and follows up on how things are going. When my father passed away recently, he and his sweet wife hand delivered flowers to my door. You hope you never need an attorney but when you do, Tarl’s great!
