I've been favorably impressed with Magistrate Brown. He's highly intelligent, hardworking, practical, evenhanded and humble/approachable. He has good common sense with respect to what's important in litigation and takes an active approach to settlement. We could use more judges like him.

I have had two matters before Judge Brown. In each case Judge Brown was fair and effective. I agree with the other positive reviews of Judge Brown and am at a loss to understand the exremely negative review posted by one of our colleagues.

I have litigated in front of 100s of judges across the country over a long career, Magistrate Brown is by far the worst. He doesn't apply the law to facts, is vitriloic, and should resign so we can restore sanity to the bench.

Magistrate Judge Gary R. Brown is one of the best judges that I’ve encountered since becoming a lawyer 15 years ago. Unlike most judges, he treats the attorneys with respect and is just super nice guy. His temperament, in tandem with his intelligence, make it a pleasure to have a case before him.

If more judges were like him, the practice of law would be better.

Magistrate Brown is a most welcome addition to the Federal Bench in the Eastern District. I had a Civil Rights/ADA/Employment Discrimination case before him shortly after his ascension to the bench. At the initial conference, he offered to mediate the case for the parties. At the mediation, he was courteous, unhurried, fair and completely willing to listen and offer thoughts without being overbearing. After several hours he brought the matter to settlement. Above all, Judge Brown is courteous to the litigants and their attorneys and made sure to provide the necessary accommodations for disabled participants. He invites even the litigants to speak with him during mediation, (with counsel's consent) and my client was most impressed that she was able to "talk to the Judge." This is a Magistrate Judge with a future.
