Special Counsel

Heather Brown is a trial lawyer who has dedicated her career to prosecuting child molesters, murderers, and violent criminals. Ms. Brown spent 23 years at the Office of the District Attorney in Orange County, handling high-profile cases that resulted in violent criminals being placed behind bars, many of whom are serving life sentences.  As a valuable member of the Greenberg Gross LLP team, Ms. Brown is now focused on dismantling the institutions who facilitate, permit, and turn a blind eye to sexual abuse.

 

Throughout her career as a Deputy District Attorney, Ms. Brown has trained local and federal law enforcement agencies, social workers, and Deputy District Attorneys on investigating, presenting, interviewing, and litigating cases involving sexual abuse.  Ms. Brown has also serves as an adjunct professor at California State University, Fullerton, where she teaches classes on sex crimes, and co-authored a chapter in the textbook, California’s Criminal Justice System, specifically addressing sexual assault crimes and the policies behind them.  In 2010, Ms. Brown presented a case study at the Crimes Against Children Conference in Dallas on how to prosecute a case with special needs victims who are unable to testify.
