Judge recommends reprimand for Rockville attorney
A Rockville attorney, R Edwan Brown, 66, was recommended for reprimand rather than disbarment by Judge Peter J. Messitte in a five page finding over unethical practices tied to a deceased Frederick couple, Elmyra and Walter Hahn. The ruling, sent to the Maryland Court of Appeals, found serious errors in his handling of the Hahns cases while denying intentional wrongdoing. Brown, in Dickerson, says he acted in the clients best interests though the commission alleges he failed to obtain independent appraisals and did not file certain tax documents amid complex farm estate planning and a lease option with Norman Todd.
