Deborah Brown

Deborah Brown (“Deb”), Nee Law Firm’s office manager and legal assistant, is returning to a law office after spending many years raising and home educating her family’s five children (from Pre-K to 12) – a difficult job but the most rewarding one on the planet.
Following her graduation from Case Western Reserve University for both undergraduate and law degrees, Deb’s early law career was as an estate planner at a large Cleveland law firm. 
During her homeschooling “sabbatical,” she served as Administrator of HEARTS for Jesus Christ, a “school of home schoolers,” as well as an instructor of numerous high school academic classes.  
While maintaining a desire to help and support home schooling parents, Deb is delighted to work with and assist the NLF attorneys and staff, who are men and women of integrity and character in all they do and who are committed to representing our clients with quality and excellence.
