Over the past three (3) decades Attorney Peter Brown has been helping citizens in Courts all throughout the Lowcountry who have been accused of criminal offenses. Attorney Peter Brown began his career in the Charleston County Public Defenderâs Office where he cut his teeth and polished his courtroom skills handling trials ranging from murders and armed robberies to drug and gun cases. Since that time, he has built upon that foundation to establish extraordinary relationships throughout the State, relationships that only come from experience, consistent courtroom results and well-earned trust. As a result, Attorney Peter Brown has often been called upon over the years to represent fellow attorneys and law enforcement officers in both high profile criminal investigations and civil matters.

During that time Attorney Don Sorenson tried over 120 violent crime trials including approximately 50 murder trials.

Attorney Peter Brown is known for his premier personal service and attention to detail, along with his skilled use of various Court Recognized Experts to support his clientâs Defense.
Peter David Brown, an attorney since 1988, has a working knowledge of the South Carolina Courts by way of handling cases in Magistrates Courts, Municipal Courts, General Sessions, Common Pleas, Federal Courts and the South Carolina Court of Appeals.
Peter opened his own law firm in 1993, handling Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation and of course, Criminal matters. Peter has been serving the citizens of South Carolina since that time with commitment, professionalism and personalized service. Peter personally appears in Court or at Hearings on average, two to three times per week throughout the State. It is his preference to handle these appearances himself rather than through associates.
A 1983 Citadel graduate, he is known in the community for his love of family, sense of humor, and love of baseball. Peter followed a career path similar to his older brother, Thomas F. Brown, II, a plaintiffs’ lawyer who has practiced law for nearly forty (40) years in Georgia. Both Thomas and Peter purposely chose to work for insurance companies before law school in order to learn the inner workings of the insurance claims’ industry. This move has proven to be invaluable.
Peter attended Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia. During law school Peter served as a student representative, Vice President and ultimately the President of the Student Bar Association. Between his first and second year of law school, Brown clerked for the Chief Administrative Judge of the Fulton County Superior Court, The Honorable Ralph Hicks.
In 1988, upon graduation, Brown accepted the offer of full time employment as an insurance defense attorney at the same firm.
Brown handled primarily Personal Injury Lawsuits and defended Workers’ Compensation Claims. These initial experiences “on the other side of the fence” have proven invaluable.
Peter was taught how insurance companies (adjusters) and their attorney’s evaluate and pay personal injury claims and defend lawsuits. Brown used these defenses himself while working for the insurance companies.
In 1989 Peter David Brown and his wife Debora Brown, DPT, PT moved to Charleston. Peter is a dedicated family man. He and his wife have two children, Ellison and Peter Jr., both of whom attended public schools. Debbie, a physical therapist, is faculty at The Medical University of South Carolina. They enjoyed raising their children in the low country, and spending time together. Peter has been a servant to the community since he arrived in the area. Much of his time has been spent working with youth, coaching in sports, mentoring, and serving as a role model.
Early in his career, Peter held the position of Senior Staff Attorney (1990 until 1993) at the Charleston County Public Defender’s Office in order to gain valuable trial experience. He personally handled in excess of twelve (12) murders and five hundred (500+) felonies during that time. By the end of his tenure as the Senior Staff Attorney, Brown had tried numerous major felonies ranging from Murder, Trafficking Cocaine, Armed Robbery, Criminal Sexual Conduct with a Minor, Failure to Stop for Blue Light, to the relatively basic “Throw Down” Drug cases.

Brown obtained many “Not Guilty” verdicts as a result of taking matters to trial in General Sessions Court. Peter Brown developed an equal passion for both Criminal Defense and Personal Injury/Workers’ Compensation work.
