About Raymond E.
Raymond E. Brown earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Marquette University in 1998 and later completed his Juris Doctor at the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2016. His academic path spans technical training and legal studies. The contrast of those degrees helps explain a career that moves between technical roles and courtroom work.
Early in his professional life he worked as a senior developer and privacy engineer for the National Security Agency in 1994. He also served as a naval officer in the U.S. Navy. Those roles preceded his decision to enter law school and informed the way he approaches complex legal and technical questions.
After law school he established himself in Maryland. He is active in the Maryland State Bar Association, where he has held membership since 2016. He joined the District of Columbia Bar in 2018 and became a member of the American Bar Association in 2020. Professional memberships reflect a practice that touches on regional and federal issues.
In 2021 he joined the American Academy of Estate Planning Lawyers, and he holds a Certified Funding Professional credential from that organization. Those affiliations point to a concentration in estate planning and related funding mechanisms. He has combined his technical background with legal training to advise on documents, funding arrangements, and the administrative steps that follow estate planning decisions.
Brown is a founding member of The Law Office of Raymond E. Brown, LLC. His firm handles estate planning matters and adjacent work that often requires coordination between financial, tax, and administrative actors. Clients encounter a lawyer who draws on an engineering mindset when drafting instruments and on a military background when managing deadlines and procedural demands.
He practices in Maryland and maintains memberships that connect him to peers across jurisdictions. At his firm he works on estate planning, estate funding strategies, and related legal matters.
