About My Son, Brian
My son Brian was a difficult kid, but he was a great dad. He had two sons, Brandon and BJ, and he would do anything for them. It was always about his children—he was a dad and a dad and a half. Even though he had his own way of doing things, he was completely dedicated to his boys. Brian worked in construction and, after his shift on September 13, 2022, he was on his way to pick up a few things. Sadly, that’s when he was struck by a reckless driver who admitted to speeding. Another car hit him, and didn’t stop. That night was devastating. The only thing I could think about was his children. How would they be taken care of without their father?
The Immediate Aftermath
When I got the news about Brian’s accident, I knew what I needed to do. The very next morning, I called Brown & Crouppen. I didn’t want to go to a big corporate firm where I felt like just another case. I didn’t want someone who was flying all over the world and couldn’t give us the attention we needed. I wanted someone who would treat us like family—someone local, from St. Louis, who knew the area and cared about what we were going through.
The response was immediate. The next day, I was connected with an attorney who made me feel like he understood our pain. It was like he had lost his own son. He told me, “Don’t worry about it, I’ve got you,” and from that point, I knew we were in good hands. They handled everything, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Why I Chose Brown & Crouppen
I’ve known about Brown & Crouppen for years. Even before Brian’s passing, I would have recommended them to anyone. They’re from St. Louis, and they know how to treat people with respect. They’re not just a law firm—they make you feel like part of their family.
When I first called them, they never mentioned money. They didn’t bring up costs. All they said was, “We’ve got you,” and that was exactly what I needed to hear. It didn’t cost me a dime to call, and from that moment on, they took care of everything.
Every time I called, they returned my call within minutes. I didn’t have to wait days for a response. They didn’t treat Brian like just another client; they addressed him by name and treated him like a person, not a case. That meant so much to me. It felt like they truly understood what we were going through.
What They Did for Us
Brown & Crouppen did everything for us. They kept us informed every step of the way and made sure Brian’s sons were taken care of. They knew that Brian wouldn’t be there to provide for his children anymore, and they made sure that they had what they needed. That was my biggest concern, and they handled it with care.
We never had to go into the office or set foot in a courtroom. They took care of everything from start to finish. I put my faith in Brown & Crouppen, and they delivered every time.
I never had to chase answers. If I needed something, they gave it to me—immediately. They made sure I had all the answers I needed, even if it was a tough one. I needed someone who would give me a definite answer, and they never left me hanging.
Why I Recommend Brown & Crouppen
Brown & Crouppen is more than just a law firm. They’re a team that will stand by you when you need it most. They made me feel like I was part of their family, and I will be forever grateful for everything they did for us. They treated us with the same care and respect as if they had lost their own son.
I never once regretted choosing Brown & Crouppen. Even though I had a neighbor who was a lawyer, I went to Brown & Crouppen because I knew they would take care of everything. Every time I needed something, they were there for me.
If you’re going through a tough time, Brown & Crouppen is the firm you need. They understand what it’s like to go through tragedies, and they’ll treat you like family. They’re a St. Louis-based firm, and that local touch makes all the difference. When I think of Brown & Crouppen, I think of a firm that truly cares about its clients. They were there for us, every step of the way.
Thank you, Brown & Crouppen, for everything you did for us.
