POSTC Victory!

Attorney Brown was instrumental in obtaining a dismissal of a POSTC decertification petition for a mutual client. Great job Eric, thanks again!

Severance assistance

Eric Brown went above and beyond to maximize my severance payout, doubling the original amount. I would highly recommend utilizing Eric for any labor issues you may be involved with. He was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable.

Posted by Shayna | November 04, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Authentic, Humble, Knowledgeable

Eric was referred to me by three friends - An attorney, a public servant, and his wife. It was based on these referrals alone that Eric was who I'd lean on to navigate a difficult situation I'm facing. The one thing that made me feel most at ease is that Eric was honest from the beginning. I ...have trusted Eric for his expertise and I've become most comfortable knowing he will fight for you and what you deserve. Although we are in the beginning stages of this battle, this represents who he has been thus far. If you're facing inequity, wrongdoing, or other difficulties, give Eric a call.

Great Attorney!

Eric is conscientious, courteous, knowledgeable, approachable and empathetic. He took lots of time to understand my case and walk me through the various options with a realistic approach to resolve the issue. His experience and number of years in labor law, especially in CT, make him a wise choice fo...r anyone dealing with such an issue in the public sector, but especially when it comes to dealing with the State of CT.

A True Fighter

Our union went from taking loss after loss from the Town of Wallingford to winning two Arbitration cases in a row with more to come with Eric representing us. Eric gave us honest guidance when deciding to take grievances to arbitration. He is a real fighter and I am glad he is representing us!
