Excellent Attorney

I had a very convoluted case and had only been with my employer for a few months. I researched and met with several attorneys who wouldn’t take the case. At this point I thought it was hopeless. I researched further and found David Browne. Not only did he take my case, he won it! David was incredi...ble to work with. He always kept me updated, answered all my questions thoroughly, and truly listened. I will always be grateful and would retain him again in a second. If you need an employment attorney, I highly recommend David. He is the absolute best!!

David Browne helped during my entire pregnancy!

David and his team were amazing during my entire pregnancy (I also worked close with his legal assistant Megan). This team made things much smoother than I could have ever anticipated. I called with millions of questions and they always took the time make sure I had everything answered. I am complete...ly satisfied with David Browne Labor Law. He is 100% hands on, takes pride in his work, is very knowledgeable, a straight shooter, and professional. He kept in touch with me every step of the way, always available to talk or email. Nor did they every pressure me into any contracts like other attorneys tried to do. I highly recommend Attorney David Browne and his legal team!

Professional, respectful and communicative

David Browne managed my complex case with professionalism and open communication. He listened and responded to my concerns with patience and respect. I felt completely supported by him through regular updates and honest dialogue about the likely realistic outcome of my case. David treated me as a te...am member in my case and was vigilant about making sure I felt comfortable with each step of the negotiation process before moving forward. I highly recommend Browne Labor Law.

Excellent Attorney

David Browne is, without a doubt, an excellent attorney. He is very professional and thorough. He is very responsive, always returning calls and emails in a timely manner. His staff is also first rate. He answered every question and was beyond helpful in his representation of me. I spoke to abou...t a dozen attorneys before Mr. Browne and none of them came close to his manner and knowledge. If you need the best employment attorney, definitely contact David Browne.

Great Age Discrimination Attorney--Honorable and Ethical

I had contacted attorneys in my area and they made me feel like I was insignificant-- even though my problem was a clear violation of the law. My aunt encouraged me to keep trying and I came across David Browne. He took the time to interview me by phone, gather information, and offer me options. He... did not lead me but rather he guided me so I did not feel coerced in my decisions: I chose to pursue the matter of age discrimination. He kept me informed of all of his communication endeavors-- he was up against a large, well-known organization and he approached them with respect and professionalism. He also treated me respectfully and his calm demeanor greatly reduced my stress. David Browne achieved exactly what I wanted and I highly recommend him.
