Services

Brown & Brown PC offers a variety of services in many practice areas. We've provided a brief description of our practice areas below; please click on each link for much more comprehensive information.

Estate Planning: Estate plans, often consisting of wills, durable powers of attorney, health care proxies and trusts, are important tools that protect you and your loved ones. A comprehensive estate plan provides for you and your loved ones during times of crisis or when you are gone.  Our experienced attorneys will work with you to develop an estate plan that avoids guardianship in case of a medical emergency and protects and distributes your assets according to your wishes while minimizing the hassle of probate and the burden of estate taxation. 

Probate and Estate Settlement: After losing a loved one, relatives must eventually begin to wind up their family member’s affairs and distribute his or her property and possessions.  Brown & Brown takes pride in helping families navigate this difficult experience by providing assistance with probate and trust administration from the beginning through a final accounting and beyond.

Elder Law:  With the cost of medical care skyrocketing and viable options for the care of seniors dwindling, careful planning becomes imperative both to ensure quality care for you or a loved one and to protect valuable assets so that they can be used wisely in the future.  The attorneys at Brown & Brown help seniors protect their assets from the costs of care and we assist families who need guidance through the Medicaid and Social Security maze.

Special Needs:  If you or a member of your family has special needs, our attorneys can help you to plan for both the immediate and long-term future.  Brown & Brown attorneys work with families to develop plans that preserve access to government benefits, when possible, while at the same time guaranteeing that funds are available for a person with special needs when he or she needs them. We also assist families who may need to obtain guardianship for a person with special needs, and we work hard to make sure that your family member will be taken care of for years to come.

Land Use, Permitting & Zoning: We specialize in local zoning and permitting issues. From simple single family home projects to major rezoning and drafting of bylaws, our attorneys can get you through the process with local municipalities. We also have  experience in wetland permitting and mitigation. With a range of clients from homeowners, to restaurants, to municipalities, we have the experience to help you.

Residential and Commercial Real Estate:  Whether you are buying or selling property, having the right attorney can make the experience much smoother.  Our experienced attorneys assist buyers, sellers, and lenders with all aspects of real estate transactions, from the initial offer and purchase and sale agreement through closing. Brown & Brown also reviews lease agreements to ensure equitable arrangements for our clients.

Business and Corporate Law: Many of our clients are small business owners – the backbone of their communities.  Brown & Brown attorneys  helps business owners establish new business entities, manage existing businesses, and we are also experienced counselors when it comes time to close or sell a business.  In addition, we have successfully formed, and received IRS non profit status for, a number of organizations.

Litigation & Personal Injury:  When unforeseen legal difficulties arise, it pays to have an experienced litigator on your side.  We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in a wide variety of matters, including contract disputes, insurance matters, construction arbitrations, and a range of other serious complaints. In addition to these litigation services, if you have suffered a personal injury through no fault of your own, our attorneys can help you to obtain compensation for your damages.

Bankruptcy: Unfortunately in this day and age, more and more people are forced into bankruptcy through no fault of their own.  This orderly, court supervised process can actually provide an incredible relief to families and business owners who face a daily struggle under mounting debts.  Our firm assists clients through this complicated and emotionally draining process so that they can focus on their jobs and families and not on the constant calls of creditors.
