About Eric R
Eric R Brown is an attorney admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and in Connecticut. He has built a practice that crosses state and federal lines and seeks to address complex procedural and appellate issues when they arise.
After completing his legal training, he entered private practice and developed experience handling matters in Connecticut courts and federal tribunals. His courtroom work has included filings and appearances in trial courts as well as the preparation of appellate briefs and arguments. Over time he added federal appellate admission and then admission to the nation’s highest court, enabling him to pursue remedies across multiple layers of the judicial system.
His admissions to the Second Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court signal an emphasis on appellate work in addition to trial-level representation. That admission profile allows him to file appeals, submit briefs and, where permitted, present oral argument in those forums. He is comfortable working through procedural questions that arise on appeal and addressing standards of review that can determine the outcome of a case.
He maintains the Law Office of Eric R. Brown. The office handles matters brought in Connecticut courts as well as cases that proceed to federal appellate panels. Clients encounter practical legal steps at each stage. He assists in drafting pleadings, preparing records for appeal and arguing matters when briefing and oral argument are appropriate. His practice produces frequent contact with rules of appellate procedure, standards for record preservation and deadlines that shape litigation strategy.
Peers and opposing counsel encounter a lawyer who is familiar with both state and federal practice. He has operated in environments where appellate deadlines, certiorari considerations and preservation of issues for appeal become central to case management. He regularly prepares written submissions intended to clarify the record and the legal questions presented to an appellate panel.
Today he works from the Law Office of Eric R. Brown, representing clients in Connecticut courts and in federal appellate matters. He currently focuses his practice on matters that require representation in Connecticut state courts and appeals in the federal system.
