Howard M Brown

I have retained Howard Brown's services on 3 different occasions. Every time, he has provided expert advice and guided me through difficult situations. As a small business owner, I have had to make challenging decisions and take actions involving our employees. It is difficult to navigate through all the employment and labor laws in Massachusetts. Without a good attorney, things can go wrong in a hurry! I have 100% confidence when working with Howard. He has always helped us to make fair and reasonable decisions that protect both our business and our employees.

Howard Brown is extremely knowledgeable, personable and helpful. He takes the time to understand your situation, thinks through the pros and cons and then takes the time to make sure you understand your options and best approach forward. If you need an Employment and labor, Discrimination, Wrongful termination lawyer, I highly recommend you give Howard a call.

As a UK company entering the US market, you dont know what you dont know. We have a poor experience with a large firm of lawyers before being recommended Howard. The difference between the service levels is huge. Howard's advice on both Federal and State level employment law and best practice has been invaluable as we have navigated our way through employing people in different states, Howard has helped us every step of the way. I cannot recommend Howard highly enough, a great lawyer and a thoroughly decent person.

From my "quick questions" to contract review Howard has always been responsive, thoughtful and provided excellent guidance and knowledge in the employment law realm. Pricing for services received is affordable and well worth the investment.

Howard guided our firm through a challenge from a former employee, ultimately resulting in successful resolution outside the courtroom. This included outlining our responsibilities under labor law (and how they might be viewed by legal or other third parties), recognizing and defining worst- and likely-case scenarios, crafting communications and settlement offer, and preparing for multiple eventualities. We hope to never need Howard again, but would turn to him in an instant if any such situation arose.

Howard is the best to work with. He is approachable, professional and very intelligent. I took his advice in understanding the details of employment related legal documentation. His advice and thorough information about all the rules & regulations, helped me take the right decision. He was always available for any questions I had. I'll surely recommend Howard to anyone looking for help with their employment related concerns.

I consulted with and later hired Attorney Howard Brown on a employment matter as a business owner. He understood both the employer and the employee factors in our case. He was extremely knowledgeable and sensitive to the resolution of our case in the most effective way for all parties. He provided great insight and various scenarios for an amicable resolution. He is very quick to respond to emails or phone calls. He was amazing to have on our team. He is great at what he does which allows us to do what we need to do-the daily running our own business. I highly recommend!

Hired Atty. Brown for a difficult employee termination, He was always quick to respond to phone calls or emails. Provided through explanations of next steps and brought matter to a satisfactory conclusion. Would recommend to other employers looking for legal counsel.

I was fortunate to have Howard as my counsel. I had never taken someone to court prior to this case and Howard made it the process very simple. My wage act case was an unusual one, as it didn't fit a boiler plate of previous cases. Howard found cases that weren't my exact situation, but he thought aligned with my issue, and how those results might be applicable to my own case. I had multiple conversations with Howard throughout the case, and with those conversations, I always felt he was there to make sure I understood all aspects of the case. This included understanding the methodology of the case, various steps and what those step(s) meant, breaking down lawyer lingo into layman terminology and supplementing potential case scenarios as we worked toward a solution. I appreciated his patience explaining items I didn't fully comprehend. I had not done a deposition prior to this case, I was nervous. However, Howard educated me with tutorial videos, documentation and we practiced a Q&A sessions leading up to it. I felt comfortable when the time came for me to give my deposition. Reflecting back on the case, I must mention how easy to communicate and work with Howard through the whole process. He would make time whenever I had questions or concerns. I got a chance to know him a little better as we worked through the case, frankly very happy to have met him and had him represent me. Howard Brown is a great lawyer and solid guy!

I hired Howard to help me recover a payment from an employer. I was initially very intimidated by the thought of hiring a lawyer and possibly engaging in a lawsuit. Howard was great communicating with us and explaining the process we would follow. He made sure we had all the information regarding the options we had and made me feel he had my best interest in mind. He was knowledgeable and efficient, objective and responsive regarding our concerns, and he was able to get us the results we wanted without going into litigation. I found his fees were reasonable too. Overall, a great experience.

Howard was introduced to us to help settle a contract dispute. Despite being new to us, he was able to quickly dig into the details of a complex situation and help evaluate the risks and returns of different options to settle the dispute. He then helped us navigate a very contentious negotiation by simplifying the discussions and maintaining a focus on the goal of getting to a reasonable settlement that would be acceptable to both sides. We greatly appreciated his coaching during the negotiation, as well as his honest and thoughtful demeanor. This was an important matter for our little company, and he helped us get it resolved in a timely and cost-effective manner. We absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of representation with employment law matters.

Howard was hired to represent us on a harassment case. He spent plenty of time with us in the consultation prior to being hired explaining the pros and cons of the case, potential outcomes and provided an in depth explanation of our insurance policy limits. The initial conversation was relaxed and we felt no pressure. We hired Howard and he immediately went to work with the insurance company and plaintiff's attorney. Within just a couple months Howard was able to bring our case to resolution with a settlement that we felt was reasonable given the circumstances. We would use Howard again in a second if needed.

I was very lucky to find Howard! I hired Howard Brown last year during a very difficult time with my longtime employer (that I loved). I met with several attorneys until I felt comfortable with someone that I felt would fight for what I wanted - I was not looking for a big payout. I was looking to be heard, to improve treatment of others in my situation and to be made whole. I really appreciated his values, and the effort he made on my behalf. He was ethical, honest and affordable. I ended up with a resolution I was happy with - would absolutely recommend him if you find yourself in need of legal support. Thank you Howard.

Mr. Brown really made an effort to understand the uniqueness of my employment challenge. He was thoughtful and thorough throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was his calm and honest demeanor. He set very good expectations and communicated often and quickly with me as was required. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of employment law consultation or representation!

We have now had the pleasure of working with Howard on multiple occasions. The first time was when we needed to quickly respond to a cease and desist letter and the second was for reviewing and enhancing our employee agreement contract. Howard is great to work with because he is a no-nonsense kind of person. He gets right to the point, clearly explains the situation, and then discusses possible options of how to approach the situation. His legal writing is thorough, informative, and clear. He delivers quality work and is very responsive. We've worked with various attorneys in the past, and the experiences certainly have been mixed, but I can say with certainty that we will continue working with Howard in the future. We highly recommend Howard for employment legal services.
