What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
No public discipline
None of the 14 named attorneys carries a disciplinary status on the public register: no disbarment, suspension or disciplinary resignation. Those statuses persist, so the check reaches back years, but it would not show a censure or a suspension since lifted.
40 results published
Across 8 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Brown Chiari charge?
Brown Chiari publishes no fee terms on the pages we read, so none is recorded on this profile. An absence here is not a claim that the firm has no fee arrangement, only that it does not state one publicly. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Brown Chiari offer a free consultation?
Yes. Brown Chiari publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock.
Where does Brown Chiari have offices?
Brown Chiari publishes two offices, in Buffalo and Fairport. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Brown Chiari?
Brown Chiari names 15 attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. 14 of 15 named attorneys are currently registered and none carries an adverse status. 1 could not be told apart from namesakes in the register and are counted neither way.
Are the case results Brown Chiari publishes verified?
No. Brown Chiari publishes 40 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Brown Chiari?
Brown Chiari scores 56 and sits at Verified. Passed: licensure, discipline, entity registration, website and footprint. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
