A true motorcycle enthusiast all his life, Russ’ first bike was a 125cc Royal Enfield, only because he lacked enough money to buy his heart’s desire: a Harley–Davidson. He saved what money he could, and in the late fifties purchased a 1954 Panhead and joined the Santa Maria Owls, an AMA-sanctioned club. Russ entered military service in the early sixties and when his tour of duty was up, he bought a Honda Super Hawk 305 to use as a commuter to and from school. He graduated from UCLA with a BA in Marketing. With no desire to use his talents in ‘Corporate America’, Russ Brown decided he wanted to do something fulfilling so he went back to school and got his law degree.

Now retired, Russ specialized in motorcycle accident injury before anyone else did, bringing unmatched experience, leadership, and personalized attention to every case he took on. He has been a passionate advocate for his fellow bikers, winning millions upon millions of dollars in claims for riders since 1975.

“The more riders I came in contact with, the more questions they would ask me about various aspects of insurance, accident claims, and things like that. I could see there was a need for someone who knew about bikes to provide these people with some assistance — some support,” says Russ. He started to notice a disturbing trend: insurance companies were taking advantage of injured motorcyclists. This angered Russ to the point where he decided to make protecting fellow motorcyclists his life’s mission and became the first motorcycle attorney in the country to dedicate his practice to representing riders. As a rider first and attorney second, Russ knew the dynamics of a crash and was all too familiar with the prejudice a biker faces on the road. He went the extra mile for the motorcycle community by getting involved in building and promoting organizations like ABATE, MMA and MRF.

Today, Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys® continues to give back to the riding community by proudly sponsoring some of the largest motorcycle events and rallies across the country as well as your local motorcycle clubs and organizations.
