Amazing Dedication and Willingness to Help

Graeme took on what I am sure sounded like a small project that managed to balloon its way into something bigger. What started out as a simple lease contract review devolved into Graeme needed to correct everything, even the business name and details of the party that drafted the initial Lease. ... He was able to stand in for us in meetings that we just couldn't make it to and always represented us professionally. He was quick with getting us information we needed and made a point to get back to us quickly whenever we called., if he didn't outright just pick up then.

GREAT LAWYER, GREAT PEOPLE!

Mr. Brown and his firm are not only knowledgeable but personable as well. I found myself voiceless in an unforeseen and uncontrollable crisis, unaware of what to do or where to turn. Upon hiring Mr. Brown, I was treated as a client with rights and equally, as a person whom faced frightening uncertain...ty concerning my health. Graeme and his team were with me every single step of the way. They explained everything to me that i needed. Every single phone call and email to Graeme and his staff have always been treated with the utmost importance. I was always made to feel like I was the top priority. Their knowledge, compassion, commitment to my case and accessibility helped guide me through one of the most difficult periods in my life. I can't thank Graeme and Kathy enough. I would strongly recommend Graeme Brown to any person.

Corporate Attorny & Board Member

Long time associate and business partner which I find comfortable in dealing with as both a corporate attorney and fellow board member. Legal fees are reasonable if not low. Response time is usually prompt and informative. Above all is the ethics that he manifests.

Great lawyer!

Graeme S.R. Brown has provided exemplary legal services to me and my company for more than a decade. He not only is a skilled practitioner, but Graeme's business background makes him especially understanding and sensitive to how legal issues affect business operations. Graeme's philosophy is coined... best by "can do"! I heartily recommend him.

Excellent Legal Council

To whom it may concern: I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Graeme Brown for his fundamental work in both legal advice and contract negotiations with regards the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) Asset Management Program and to give testimony to his integrity, attitu...de and ability. In the past year the MBTA has made significant strides in our efforts to progress the Asset Management Program for our Authority through the use and procurement of strategic software and services procurements through both State and Federal funding streams. Graeme worked closely with me to recognize needs, negotiate with vendors and protect both the MBTA and State and Federal investments within our organization. Throughout the negotiations, Graeme showed extraordinary patience, integrity and commitment. He was truly an ally and advocate – both internally and externally. Further, Graeme’s dedication and levels of experience in his practice has provided an effective mechanism to seek further consultations on subsequent matters which have arisen in other areas of the business. I consider the MBTA fortunate to have chosen the right professional, from a field of many, to represent our business in the best interests of the Authority. I would not hesitate to engage Graeme for our future legal needs or to recommend him to others. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss Graeme’s ability or attributes in greater detail. Director of Asset Management Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
