Beyond Exceptional

I hired Attorney Chris Brown back in the beginning of 2017 to help me with my Foreclosure Case of 10 years. Attorney Chris Brown worked on an Affidavit for me and presented it to the Court. The banks are closing the gaps to make sure people no longer have any say in a court of law in the State of C...onnecticut. Attorney Chris Brown was incredible and I have never experienced such professionalism from an Attorney as how he fought for me recently in Court. Witnessing Attorney Chris Brown in Court recently left me in awe. He is professional, methodical, extremely intelligent, and amazing to watch how he delivered his argument on my behalf. His mannerisms and professionalism were outstanding with how he presented my case recently in court with such grace and elegance. The case is waiting for the Judge to make a decision. Valerie

Former Client Extremely Pleased

I was facing foreclosure and in serious trouble with the mortgage company. I contacted Attorney Brown and he was very clear with what was happening, what could happen and why things were happening. I retained him, and he is the sole reason I still have my home today. I highly recommend him for anyone... having problems with their mortgage company.

Chris and forclosure

Just started speaking to Chris this week after Wells Fargo began a forclosure proceeding on our home,without even notifying us! My girlfriend,who is the sole owner of our home,is in the hospital with cancer.My 87 year old mother ,who is also sick with cancer,this is very stressful.Chris has calmed me... bye speaking with me and reminding me of our priorities,which is my girlfriend's health.She just got through major surgery.Thank god.I tried to explain this to Wells Fargo over the past months that the owner was extremely sick.They could care less! Surprised?We had thought we were one month beyond since the way we were told bye Wells Fargo to pay our monthly mortgage.In any event,Chris is excellent! Has already given us priceless advise! We will win this matter without a doubt! Especially with Chris representing us! Thanks Chris,you will be continually highly recomemded!

Chris Brown-- a RARE find!

Chris Brown is the extraordinary lawyer, and one to aspire to in every sense. A true professional, he is a deep and very strategic thinker, always courteous, unflappable, and scrupulous. Referred by a business associate, Chris is currently representing my husband and I. We interviewed several oth...er attorneys, 2-dimensional in their approach, and eager to escort us through the generic legal turnstiles prematurely. Chris Brown, however, is quite different. He accessed our overall situation and unique dynamics, consistently keeping our best interest at the helm. What is typically a very stressful process, Chris eases into the more manageable and comprehendible. Chris is always quick to respond, counsel when needed, and patiently translate the legal language. The case continues to unfold beyond our expectations. This has allowed us to focus on our survival goals, as our lives merge into these new economic realities. Chris is more than a lawyer. In these extremely challenging, historic times, he is the ultimate navigator. The feather in his cap, is that Chris studied economics as well. Quite simply, we would be lost without him. He has a genuine passion for his work, along with a certain “night vision”. Chris has the ability to see through the dark, and throw a beacon of light on it. Supported by relentless hard work, meticulously detailing facts, (and they are numerous)-- he creates a very convincing, compassionate perspective on the matter. We highly recommend Chris Brown-- he is a RARE find!
