What makes Brown McCarroll a great place to work is best expressed by our attorneys and professional staff:

Attorney Perspectives

"I take much pride in being a veteran lawyer in a firm with a clear, demonstrated commitment to diversity.  Brown McCarroll doesn't make forced efforts to hire and retain a diverse workplace; it comes naturally and as an outgrowth of a long history of hiring the finest, most qualified persons who can best serve and represent all who make up our diverse clientele.  In 2008 the Austin Bar Association publicly acknowledged our commitment to diversity with our A rating for minority attorney hiring, a proud accomplishment for one of the largest Austin-based law firms and tops among all Austin firms surveyed.  Our Dallas and Houston offices share that commitment.  Public pundits aside, in our offices every day you see the demonstrations of such commitment to diversity that make work and the legal practice more enjoyable, and this atmosphere benefits our clients in turn."  Albert Lin, Partner, Austin

"Brown McCarroll takes great pride in being a "full service" law firm that can work with multiple types of clients on various legal matters, or a single client on all of the various legal matters it may face.  Bringing significant years of experience from both the government and private sector, Brown McCarroll attorneys illustrate a diversity of experience, knowledge and skill that enables the firm to approach any legal issue with a clear, focused, and educated perspective.  Brown McCarroll takes pride in being a mid-sized firm with large firm capabilities when it comes to servicing its clients."    Bill Hopkins, Partner, Austin

"In providing legal services to our clients, we truly strive to understand the client's business, objectives and concerns, and to evaluate their circumstances and make recommendations based on that understanding.  We realize that "legal" is only a piece of the puzzle our client is working with, and we want to provide services in a manner that allows them to properly position that piece in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible."  Mary Jane Broussard, Partner, Dallas

"Brown McCarroll fosters an environment that allows young lawyers to advance professionally. Associates are given the opportunity to work on a wide variety of legal projects from various practice areas and partners. The firm has a strong emphasis on community involvement and client development; associates are encouraged to participate in professional groups and other local activities."  Joseph Kidwell, Associate, Dallas

Perspectives of Our Staff

"Brown McCarroll is not just a law firm, we are friends. We continually work together to offer the best solutions to our clients and attorneys. I've been with the firm for almost 14 years and my job is continually evolving. While my main focus has not changed, growing with Brown McCarroll has enabled me to expand my skills and offer better solutions for the firm."  Linda Siegert, Director of Human Resources, Austin

"Brown McCarroll has been my home away from home for the past 7 years.  Over the years, people have come and gone, but the feeling of family and camaraderie remains.  When a day seems to be overwhelming, a co-worker can always be found to lend a hand.  But most of all I enjoy working at Brown McCarroll because of the people (attorneys and staff) I work with everyday.  They are the best!"  Cathy Rader, Legal Secretary, Austin
