Show Me The Justice congratulates Defense Attorney ROBYN BROWN for earning the MOST misdemeanor dismissals for the month of November 2021! (Sorry if I missed some female attorneys whose name is not consolidated by the clerk due to a name change)
(Source: Harris County District Clerk’s Online Services – CrimDisposMonthly spreadsheet – dismissals when convicted of another charge or case refiled is usually excluded but the District Clerk’s website is not functioning as normal. Does not include attorneys whose names do not appear as attorney of record on clerk’s spreadsheet. Attorneys above are mostly court appointed. Sorry if I miss some female attorneys who show up under different names)
