Marion Browning-Baker, who over many years while calling herself a "family law lawyer" in Germany had a lot of practice making false statements, misrepresenting the facts of her clients in order to wrongfully charge them more money, falsifying bills, and even lying under oath to her state bar – now calls herself “Ella Quinn, Romance Author” – and claims to...

Marion Browning-Baker Family Law Practice Marion Browning-Baker

One of Marion Browning-Baker’s ex-clients informed our network (now a total of 59) recently that Browning-Baker NEVER DEPARTED Germany after all! She only moved apartments and changed her office (which doesn’t exist other than her kitchen table) phone number to [protected]. This number is answered by the same German public call center as it was before – same people even. She continues to drag out cases and rip-off her leftover clients, before her advertising was barred, while she prolongs her hiding from the Georgia State Bar – both by mail (her official state bar mailing address still only “St Thomas, VI”) and now by telephone too. Sources say that the German, American, and Virgin Island federal tax authorities also are looking for her.

Here is her primary scam and rip-off FYI: She makes her clients sign a statement that they cannot talk or communicate in any way to any other lawyers which Browning-Baker says she uses with their case. Browning-Baker says that “this signed statement is required by her state bar.” Turns out officially from the state bar that it IS NOT REQUIRED at all! Her state bar even supposedly asked her where it quotes that in Georgia statutes and Browning-Baker never answered (like proving her multiple fictitious secretaries exist over the years because they asked her to prove that too and she didn’t).

Then, knowing that the client probably won’t call the lawyers she uses because of this “Georgia law” as Browning-Baker tells it, she then bills them for work she NEVER DOES knowing the client won’t check up on it. In most cases, 25% OR MORE of the customer’s bills were totally bogus like this.

Lawyers are then supposed to give you the case file back when they stop representing you as all state bars require this as lawyer professional conduct. Forget getting anything back like communications with the other lawyers from Browning-Baker as she refuses to return any of those – and this is even after the state bar tells her to return it.

All 59 of us at mjbb.[protected]@yahoo.com are waiting for justice to be served by the Georgia State Bar. Then Marion Browning-Baker will have a real reason leave Germany – that being no law license anymore.

Marion Browning-Baker Family Law Practice A Scam and Not a Law Practice

Marion Browning-Baker, ex US Army JAG lawyer and currently presenting her status as a US Army Reservist, has been operating her “family law practice" out of her home in Stuttgart, Germany since 1996. The only problem: It is NOT a law practice but a systematic and methodical financial SCAM against every active duty service member, family member, and Department of Defense civilian which she can possibly convince to hire her for her family law "legal services" (which I use very loosely here).

Her daily ad in the Stars and Stripes (which she is no longer allowed to advertise there) was her ONLY source of clients as everyone who contacted her through this forum became nothing less than her "target of financial opportunity." Browning-Baker would take any case presented, ask for a $5, 000 retainer, make you sign a statement that you will not discuss anything to do with your case with any other lawyer involved, and then drain you financially for as long as she could until you fired her.

Closure or doing what you hired her to do (or thought you did anyway) was never an intent of hers as she drags simple cases out for years. For most of her clients and I have personally discussed this with more than 10 of them who were scammed by her like I was, she got away with anywhere from $20, 000 to $50, 000 per client using this modus operandi.

Since she bills monthly and provides her clients with no transparency in the process whatsoever, she falsifies bills and charges her clients for no work performed, she lies to other lawyers and misrepresents the facts of your situation in order to bill you for more money, charges you for a full 30 minutes of her time to answer a 1-sentence email with another 1-sentence email, and even generates legal problems with your case which result in her being able to bill you for even more money.

I experienced ALL of the above personally. IF YOU EVER USED THIS LAWYER, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Just when we thought we saw it all, we didn’t. Marion Browning-Baker has changed her legal name to Maje Brennan! And I don’t mean her name as Ella Quinn either when writing her trashy romance novels because she still exists as that fictitious person too. Go to Facebook and LinkedIn. No more Marion Browning-Baker existing! But look up Maje Brennan and there she is on both and they are all the same Marion Browning-Baker pictures from Germany. Plus the same bio as before – sans any history of ever being a lawyer.

Wait because it gets better. She moved out of her house on Lovenlund Bay in the Virgin Islands and now lives on a sailboat in the Norfolk area with her retired army sergeant husband. Now she calls herself online a “Vacation Rental Owner” as she rents out the house which is now called, “Nature’s Nest VI.” Just Google that title and you can see multiple pics of what she bought with all of that stolen money. Not bad for someone who could not even make it in the US Army!

Because even when you change your legal name, live on a sailboat, and try to avoid Germany for formal tax evasion and extradition (not to mention the GA State Bar who is also trying to collect many thousands from you) - WE will still find you, WE will still take you to court and WE will still have justice served no matter how long it takes us. We are 100+ strong now. Maje, Ella, Marion, or whatever name you are going by today or wherever you are having your mail forwarded from your main drop in St. Thomas, you stole money from every one of your clients and WE all want it back and we are going to get it. Contact our class action suit lawyer Richard Harris at mbb-class-action@gmx.com and you just might avoid total bankruptcy which is what we are going for at the moment.

I am another person who she also ripped off for over $30, 000. We now have a group of over 50 people identified who have all been ripped by her since she started in the 1990’s. We are urging everyone to write to the Georgia State Bar (they have a website with the info you need to file complaints). Don’t bother writing to Browning-Baker personally on anything. She will never reply to you as she already took your money. BTW, word in the group has it that has been bragging to some of her ex-clients that she owns a mansion some place in the Caribbean. Guess where that money came from? Your pocket! We are starting a Yahoo Group in an attempt to locate everyone who was ripped by her since she started all of this nonsense family law practice in Europe. Should you want to join the group, send an email to MJBB.scams@yahoo.com and then tell us your story. We will keep you posted and add you to our list. And if you heard of anyone else who used her, please pass the word. Since she can no longer advertise in the Stars and Stripes, we all think we have effectively put her out of business for good. Now it is time to collect our debts back.
