Is Eden Rose Brown Guilty of Legal Malpractice?
It is obvious that the Eden Rose Brown law firm is a cluster of incompetent attorneys and in particular, P. Freeman Green and Eden Rose Brown. One can only wonder why any legal professional would want to be associated with a law firm that is quickly becoming the laughing stock of the Internet. Their willingness to prey on senior citizens suffering from advanced Alzheimer's disease, and Eden Rose Brown's unprofessional conduct, clerical mistakes and errors in judgment all contribute to a reputation that will have potential clients running in the other direction.So exactly what is "malpractice"? "Negligent errors are most commonly associated with legal malpractice. This category is based on the premise that an attorney has committed an error that would have been avoided by a competent attorney who exercises a reasonable standard of care. Lawyers who give improper advice, improperly prepare documents, fail to file documents, or make a faulty analysis in examining the title to real estate may be charged with malpractice by their clients." Let's review some of Eden Rose Brown's many "negligent errors" that demonstrate a pattern of "Legal Malpractice": 1. She determined that an elderly woman in her fourth year of advanced Alzheimer's disease was competent to rewrite her "Revocable Trust Agreement" which originally gave most of her estate to her son and immediate family, but now gave the majority of her property and assets to her nephew, who took her away from her family in Florida without their knowledge, consent, or consultation. Elizabeth McGuinness' Competency (NOTE: We're contacting Liz's doctor in Florida to document her state of mind and health before Kerry convinced her to move to Salem to "babysit his kids"...) 2. It took her two months to deliver the trust agreement to beneficiaries, even though it had been completed almost two years prior. 3. When the trust agreement arrived just three days before the "family meeting", she sent the WRONG agreement and left out three of the beneficiaries. 4. In both versions of the 100 page trust, beneficiary share numbers are inconsistent, do not match or add up, and the "Revocable Trust Agreement" is legally flawed in a numerous ways. Incompetent Lawyers - Flawed Legal Documents 5. In the trust agreement which she authored, she nominated herself as the "Trust Protector". Two years later, she "resigned" from that position and later retroactively stated that she had actually never accepted the assignment. The Oregon State Bar Association told Eden Rose that there might be a conflict of interest there - no kidding? And this means there has never been a "Trust Protector" for the estate and there still isn't one to this day. Eden Rose Brown is - is not - never was - Trust Protector 6. She has refused to answer questions about the trust even after the Trustee, Kerry P. Burtis, encouraged family members to contact the law firm for information, she ignores e-mail inquires and yet continues to bill the estate for $350.00 per hour - $6,827.50 in the month of March alone - for NOT communicating with beneficiaries, and continues to bleed the trust with unexplained billable hours.

I predict that someday soon you'll look that up in a dictionary and you'll see Eden Rose Brown's picture alongside that definition. |
