Excellent negotiator

He is a relentless voice that levels the playing field for individuals against unfair labor contracts. In my opinion, his years of experience brought ground breaking efforts to achieve a great contract in today's economy. It was more than a eye opening experience to sit next to Eric and hear him n...egotiate and fight for a reasonable contract. Hands down the best negotiating lawyer I've had next to me at the bargaining table. I will continue to utilize Eric's expertise for the benefit of our officers benefits.

Caring and Trustworthy

As a new business owner, I was anxious when a state agency came to investigate my business. Eric was recommended to me by another attorney that I trust and he made me feel confident that he would handle the problem. He took time to understand my business and talk to my employees. His fees are fair an...d I always felt like he kept me informed. I would recommend him if you have legal issues with your business.

Eric Brown

Eric has been the attorney for the Newtown Police Union for the last seven years. He has been and continues to be the best representation that our Union could ask for. He has won several important cases for the Union. After our former union dissolved we decided to stay with Eric because of his except...ional record and professionalism.

PUGLIESE, Jr, Horrible, forgot half of what he was ask to do. he screwed up in filing my court case and never followed though correctly.

We are so sorry that this was your experience. In the end, we put cash in your pocket, got you a full retirement, and medical benefits to boot. We are trial lawyers, passionate advocates for the rights of the people we serve. We like to win for our clients. And in this case, winning for you meant settling the case to guarantee a favorable outcome. Sometimes cases fall apart not because the lawyering is bad, but because the facts are bad. And sometimes your facts get worse as your case proceeds. That is what happened here. Your case started as a demotion. But then you were disciplined two more times. You were about to be fired. And, represented by a union lawyer - not by our firm - you lost a union grievance arbitration asserting that the employer had treated you unfairly. Despite all of your disciplinary issues that arose after you retained us, we didn’t quit on you. We kept pushing for you. And as a result, your employer came to us with a decent offer that put cash in your pocket. You got to retire with a full pension. You received medical insurance benefits with your retirement. We recommended this settlement because given your disciplinary history, there was a significant risk that you might lose at trial… and walk away with nothing. Not incidentally, you agreed to have a Connecticut Superior Court judge assist in settling the case; and the judge agreed that the settlement was fair. He referred to the case as a “dud,” by the time it got to him. You yourself had final say about whether you would settle or not. You chose to settle. You had seven days to change your mind. But you didn’t. We think your choice was a wise one. We stand by our work. And we wish you well.
