Brown Counsel is an extremely proficient law firm for any issue you may find yourself in. I worked with Phil on an employment matter which he resolved in a fair negotiated deal. Phil and Amelia are both great lawyers and make the difficult process of requiring counsel a bit easier. For one they are wonderful listeners and fully understand your case before deciding a path forward. They move your matter along quickly and return emails and phone calls quickly so you are not left wondering whats next.
If you find you need a fair and reasonable law firm I suggest you look no further than Brown Counsel. I am very pleased with the results I received.
I have argued appeals in the Massachusetts Appeals Court, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals, where I have also appeared before former Supreme Court Justice Souter.
I am a certified mediator through Metropolitan Mediation Services and have mediated business and consumer disputes.
