His preparation, attention to detail, knowledge of the law and overall management of the case was excellent and he kept the Borough Council and Mayor informed and prepared for each and every proceeding.”

Litigation
“Eric successfully defended me in a contentious and complex First Amendment retaliation claim filed by a property owner that I cited in my capacity as zoning and code enforcement officer. Eric was the most prepared and thorough attorney that I have ever encountered.”

Collective Bargaining & Grievances
“Eric has represented my municipal clients on employer and labor issues as Labor Counsel, including the negotiation of police contracts. My clients have been impressed with his work, and I have found him to be knowledgeable, responsive and easy to work with as the municipal Solicitor.”
– Chris
Collective Bargaining & Grievances
“My Township retained Eric after being dissatisfied with the outcome of several prior contract negotiations. The tone of negotiations was different with Eric, as he gave us the confidence to stand up to the police union. The end result was a contract that achieved all of our objectives. For example, the police are now required to contribute toward their pension plan.”
– David
Collective Bargaining & Grievances
“We retained Eric to negotiate a new contract with our police union, after we were forced to attend interest arbitration in the prior two contract negotiations and were dissatisfied with the outcomes. Eric successfully negotiated a new contract that restored managerial rights that had been previously lost at arbitration. This was the first time that we avoided interest arbitration in memory, and we secured all of our bargaining priorities.”
– Marcy
Collective Bargaining & Grievances
“We relied on Eric to defend the Borough from an unfair labor practice charge that the union filed against us. Not only was Eric successful in defending the charge, he also negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement that secured concessions from the union. We have subsequently relied on Eric in grievance arbitrations (with success) and plan on continuing to do so.”
– Chris
Collective Bargaining & Grievances
“Our township retained Eric to negotiate with our employees. He proved to be a strong negotiator during negotiations, especially when the union demanded excessive increases to wages and medical benefits. The Township achieved its desired outcome – only modest wage increase and no increase in medical benefits. I recommend Eric Brown to other municipalities considering a change in Labor Counsel.”

Collective Bargaining & Grievances
“My Township has relied on Chris and Eric as Labor Counsel for several years. In the contract prior to their involvement, the police union resisted our efforts to reach an amicable agreement, and we were forced to go to arbitration and lost. Following our experience in arbitration, we retained Chris and Eric. They have been a tremendous service to both the Board of Supervisors and Township Manager in dealing with our police union, including Act 111 collective bargaining, grievance disputes, scheduling/overtime issues, and canine officer matters. We were able to receive concessions from the police union without going to arbitration, including contributions toward their pension. We have found them to be knowledgeable and responsive to our needs. I very strongly recommend them as Labor Counsel.”
