Biography

Robert Brown joined Baron & Budd as a shareholder from Florida-based Alters, Boldt, Brown, Rash & Culmo, where he was a founding equity partner. Bob works in litigation of significance to Florida and the Gulf Coast, such as the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and Chinese drywall litigation.

A member of the Florida Bar since 1986, Bob’s decades of experience in mass tort litigation, product liability and commercial litigation make him a valuable addition to Baron & Budd’s diverse practice. He has tried more than 50 cases to verdict, and he is admitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh District and all federal district courts in Florida. He is “AV” rated by Martindale-Hubbell.

One of the cases that inspired Bob as an advocate involved a loving, married couple who had fostered over 250 children with mental and/or physical disabilities. The husband was in a fatal car accident. Bob settled a lawsuit against the insurer of the other driver involved in the accident for 100 times the policy limits because of the insurer’s bad faith. Although no amount will bring back the huge loss this family has had, Mr. Brown certainly helped his surviving wife and children to live a normal life. Making this kind of difference in the lives of everyday people motivates Bob as an attorney.

“It has been a pleasure to become part of Baron & Budd’s mission,” said Bob. “I have spent my career representing those who have been wronged, and with the resources of Baron & Budd behind me, I feel empowered to make a real difference for the people of Florida.”

In addition to his participation in the American Association for Justice’s Leaders Forum and National Finance Committee, Mr. Brown serves on the Board of Directors of the Miami-Dade Justice Association and is President elect of the American Board of Trial Advocates’ Miami Chapter.
