Attorney Helps land major client for startup!

Attorney Brookman helped our business land its first international client. The suggestions and fairness of the legal agreements between both parties, made the client sign on the bottom line. The checks have started and the client has hinted already that he wants to extend the agreement to include bo...nuses. Thank you Sean for a job well done at a very affordable price!

Outstanding small business attorney takes a teaching approach

In working with attorney Brookman there where many beneficial aspects I did not initial expect from working with a lawyer. With many lawyers, it can be quite transactional, you have a specific need the lawyer addresses it and your done with a feeling that everything happened real fast and not totally... sure what you paid for but glad you can get back to business. He was different in that he broke things down into real person language sparing me the jargon and assisting in some business decisions that have real world implications. Owning a small business I want to be assured I am making the best decisions for my business and my specific situation is understood. Knowing that he has also worked in banking and has a business degree was very comforting I felt like he could bride the needs of my business and the legal world expertly and I felt better prepared for the future. Although my areas of need have been more business /contracts /lease Agreements LLC formation here in Connecticut , I would not hesitate to hire him for Estate Planning/Wills as well.

Legal assistance in gaining nonprofit status

Sean provided our organization legal assistance in gaining nonprofit status. He reviewed our IRS application and helped us respond to numerous questions from the IRS regarding our operating documents and budget. Sean was extremely professional and went out of his way to meet with us and expedite the ...process. In only 1-2 months of working with Sean, we obtained not-for-profit status.

Sean reviewed business contracts for our firm and provided substantive and insightful review comments that ultimately eliminated a substantial amount of unnecessary risk, while keeping the contract proposals competitive. Sean communicated his opinions effectively to our senior management and came ac...ross as very competent and trustworthy. We were extremely happy with his performance. We expect to retain Sean to assist with a diverse set of legal services in the future.
