Excellent ESOP Lawyer
I hired Robert Brown to assist with fiduciary issues involving an ESOP trustee and a board of directors. He understood the conflict between the positions and was able to help guide the way between conflicted board members and gave practical advice which was followed and appreciated.
"I endorse this lawyer. His business sense is sound and has given excellent advice. He is very persuasive when on the opposite side of a case, and very thorough and diligent in his representation and advocacy for a client"
