On Monday, August 11, 2025, the Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Supreme Court of Arizona reprimanded Attorney Nathan Brown and placed him on probation for two years due to violations of the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct. This action follows an Agreement for Discipline by Consent submitted by the parties involved, which was accepted by the court.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Nathan Brown,” with case no. PDJ 2025-9008.
The reprimand arises from a formal complaint filed against Brown on February 4, 2025, detailing unprofessional conduct during his representation of defendants in a defamation action involving a residential community. Notably, Brown referred to the plaintiffs as “MEAN GIRLS” in a change of venue pleading. He also made serious allegations in court documents, claiming that community members not involved in the litigation had committed sexual crimes, including child molestation. Additionally, he filed various pleadings without a good faith basis in fact or law and engaged in derogatory communications with opposing counsel regarding their clients and legal representatives.
As part of the disciplinary measures, Brown’s probation mandates that he engage a practice monitor to oversee his work in intellectual property litigation within the Arizona District Court. This monitor, approved by the State Bar, is Donald Wilson Jr., who will review any court filings related to issues that contributed to the current disciplinary actions and advise Brown on maintaining compliance with ethical standards.
The order further stipulates that Brown must not represent clients in litigation matters outside of intellectual property law without the presence of experienced co-counsel. However, the case Igtunheimr LLC v. Val Vista Lakes Community Association is exempt from this requirement while it remains on appeal.
In addition to these conditions, the court has mandated that Brown refrain from any further violations of the professional conduct rules. He is also required to pay the costs associated with the disciplinary proceedings, amounting to $1,475, within 30 days of the judgment.
According to the filing, Mr. Brown acquired his law license in Arizona in 2017.
