He graduated from the Georgetown Law Center in 1995. Christopher is a native Washingtonian and 1988 graduate of Gonzaga High School.

An Attorney in the Making

Christopher E. Brown was exposed to the world of law at a young age. He made a clear decision early in life to pursue a career in law because he wanted to be able to help others in the same way that his grandfather and father had before him. Edwin C. Brown, Jr. mentored his son so that he could learn the discipline and determination needed to be successful as an attorney.

Determination to Succeed

Christopher E. Brown was a talented athlete and student. Both in the classroom and on the football field, Christopher demonstrated his natural drive to achieve through his tireless work ethic. He remained focused on being successful in athletics and academics which paid off when he was accepted to the prestigious Duke University. During his time at Duke, he continued to display his natural determination and work ethic in both athletics and academics and was awarded with the position of running back during some of Duke University’s most impressive years. He was a key element of the success Duke’s 1989 ACC Championship team and helped carry the team to the 1989 All American Bowl. After he received his degree in philosophy and history, he set his sights on law school.

Legal Training

Christopher’s legal training played a crucial role in his development as a litigator. He was able to develop his natural acumen for litigation at the Georgetown University Law Center. He further honed his abilities as a litigator by participating in a civil litigation law clinic where he represented D.C. residents in matters involving small claims. When other students were focusing solely on class, Christopher was already testing his abilities in the court room.

A Natural Born Litigator

After receiving his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center, he dove into the professional legal world head first. Brown fulfilled the challenging position of a judicial clerkship in the D.C. Superior Court until the fall of 1996 and 1997, he began practicing law alongside his father in the family firm which is now known as The Brown Firm PLLC.

Christopher’s competency in litigation was recognized early on in his legal career. His natural acumen for the law was made evident by his early successes litigating insurance defense cases. His abilities as a litigator continued to develop over an impressive career which includes over 45 jury trials to date.
