Attorney Consultant

Adam D. Brown, RN, JD

  • Attorney
  • Registered nurse
  • Former public defender

Adam is an attorney and registered nurse whose background spans emergency medicine, criminal defense, and medical-legal work.

He worked as a firefighter and EMT while in school to become a registered nurse, then worked in critical care and emergency rooms across the country. He moved from clinical practice into law after being approached for recruitment by a federal investigative agency, which ultimately led him to law school.

Adam earned his J.D. from Mercer University School of Law, where he competed on Moot Court, received a CALI Award in Healthcare Law, and completed the Certificate in Advanced Legal Writing, Research, and Drafting. He was mentored by the late Daryl Dantzler, longtime Dean of the National College of Criminal Defense, who introduced him to criminal defense work.

He began his career as a public defender before joining a nationally recognized DUI defense firm and eventually opening his own practice. He has handled thousands of cases across criminal defense, DUI defense, and medical licensing matters, and has consulted with firms ranging from solo practices to those with more than 100 attorneys on strategy, medical review, trial preparation, and jury selection.

Adam is certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and has completed the classroom portion of Drug Recognition (DRE) training.

In his spare time, Adam enjoys reading how-to manuals after tearing too far into weekend fix-it projects. He successfully completes most of them.
