About Me

Hi, I’m Wendy Brown! I founded Brown Legacy Law because I believe estate planning should feel empowering, not overwhelming. After experiencing firsthand how a lack of planning and understanding can impact families during times of loss, I became passionate about helping people protect the people they love with clarity and confidence.

My career spans criminal defense, veterans’ advocacy, complex business litigation, and estate planning—each shaping how I guide clients through complex legal and life transitions. Early on, criminal defense taught me to think strategically under pressure and uphold due process. I then focused on veterans' advocacy: navigating claims, securing benefits and housing, and assisting with post-conviction relief. Now I channel that experience into estate planning, creating protection strategies that offer clarity and support families at every life stage.

In addition to practicing law, I served as a Logistics Officer in the California Army National Guard for more than a decade, including two deployments to the Middle East and multiple emergency response missions supporting communities affected by wildfires and mudslides. I am now a Judge Advocate (JAG) in the US Army Reserve. The leadership, teamwork, and adaptability I developed through these experiences directly inform my approach to client service.

When I’m not assisting families with estate planning, you can usually find me hiking through a National Park, lifting weights, or training at the boxing gym. At home, most of my free time belongs to my new puppy, Pax: a fun-loving Boxer and American Shepherd mix, and to my rescue pup, Donner: a spirited Doberman, Husky, and Cattledog mix who keeps life adventurous.

Together, let's navigate the legal landscape with ease and pave the way for your secure future.
