Don’t Take Our Word for it | Here’s What They Have to Say
“Brandt and his partners at PB+C are uniquely gifted in the area of mergers and acquisitions. He exceeded our expectations with respect to the care, consideration, and due diligence measures taken to make sure that our investment was protected to the greatest extent possible. We would certainly use Brandt and PB+C again in the future and highly recommend them to others looking to merge or acquire.”
Chad D. Yoder
Partner, Franconia Insurance & Financial Services
“The transaction we were planning was a new endeavor for us and required, among other things, doing a detailed corporate reorganization, forming a new holding company and negotiating a purchase agreement. These deals always seem to come down to the last minute. Having never personally met them and giving only a limited amount of time to complete the related transactions, Penwell Bowman + Curran LLC was never a reason the deal could have been delayed or not completed. Quite to the contrary, they held everyone else accountable (including us) to be sure items were completed as needed (and on a timely basis). We were able to develop a real rapport with Matt Curran. He explained things in a way we could understand them. By the end of the process we gained as much (if not more) comfort with him as we have with our local firm who has represented us for 60+ years.”
Hugh M. McGowan
President, McGowan Insurance Group, LLC
“I had the pleasure of working with Matt and the PB+C team for the transition of our family business. It was a lot of emotion for me and my dad; however, Matt kept us focused and moving in a good direction. Yes, there were days when it seemed like a meltdown was imminent, but we got through all of them successfully. All in all, there were so many more smiles than anything. They made it easy, and walked us through each step of the process. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to sell or purchase a business. Thank you!!!”
Tracy Salinger
President, Unique Limousine
“We are extremely pleased with the service we have received from Brandt. His advice and guidance has been invaluable to our foundation. He has taken the time to thoroughly learn our operation and offer guidance to insure our compliance with the numerous regulations we are required to follow. He and his firm are an invaluable member of our team. We are grateful for all he does.”
Jim Reynolds
Executive Director, Brethren in Christ Foundation, Inc.
“Matt Curran and Scott Penwell did an outstanding job helping transfer the ownership of our insurance agency from me to my son. Prior to contacting Matt and Scott, we had received confusing advice. As soon as we began working with these gentlemen, they clarified all of our questions and moved quickly to draft the required documents to finalize the transfer. We also liked their fixed fee which allowed us to know what our legal costs would be up front. I would recommend this firm to any small business.”
Tim Murphy
Founder, Harbor Insurance Agency, LLC
“The PB+C team is exceptional. Their work product and professionalism are second to none. What I appreciate most, however, is PB+C’s fixed-fee service. It is perfect for small business and start-up companies like ours. Knowing the final price for legal services upfront enabled us to manage expenses throughout the process without the fear of runaway billable hours. Thank you all for making the experience successful and enjoyable. We couldn’t be more satisfied.”
Dave Mooney
President/ Founder of a renewable energy company
“These guys are the BEST! I was looking for a lawyer that could review some startup company employment documents for me and give me advice, and I am so grateful to have found Matt Curran and his team. They were super easy to work with, kind, respectful, quick (i.e. didn’t waste my time for the sake of billable hours), and even provided some advice for free when I really needed their help on a very quick timeline. Now THAT is service! It made me feel well taken-care of and that they weren’t “nickel and dime-ing” me. I was really impressed with their level of service and the personal approach they took to my situation. I will certainly leverage their help again if I ever need to in the future. Thank you for everything Matt & Scott!”
Shilpa Gadhok
VP of Marketing of a NYC-based Startup Company
“20 years ago, with Scott’s assistance, we set our company on a path that has resulted in our becoming the largest insurance agency franchisor in the United States. Scott has been with us every step of the way helping us with general business issues, corporate structuring and governance and developing and sheparding our unique franchise program through the federal and state regulatory maze. His rare combination of legal expertise and business experience has been an asset to us as we continue to grow our business platform.”
David Boedker
President, Keystone Insurer's Group, Inc.
“I and my team have worked closely with Scott on a wide variety of complex business and legal issues for 30 years. Whether I was starting a new business venture, raising capital or selling a company, I have sought out and relied on Scott’s consistent and pragmatic advice and counsel and continue to do so today.”
Raymond Sobieski
Co-Founder, Report It, LLC
“Scott is a unique breed of attorney. He was the first attorney who not only provided me with excellent legal advice but also engaged as a partner with me in the negotiations. After working together on very complex contractual and regulatory issues, I developed a sense of confidence that Scott genuinely ‘had my back.’ Scott always demonstrated an entrepreneur’s approach to problem solving and conveyed the highest level of competency. After completing a recent transaction, I received a request from the opposing party to utilize Scott’s services on their Board of Director’s. I would recommend him to any client without reservation.”
Lewis Sharps, MD
President, Diversus Management Company
“I was able to start my business within a few weeks. I feel everything was done extremely quickly and made as easy as possible for a first-time, small business owner such as myself. Not only did the attorneys at Penwell Bowman + Curran get my company set up very quickly, but they also were very helpful in offering advice and even guiding me to other sources of information to help with certain issues specific to my company’s situation. I appreciate all the help and will definitely be using them in the future!”
Jordan Stone

“I just wanted to drop you a short note and tell you how much I have appreciated your wisdom, integrity and professionalism over the years of knowing you. Your legal representation as well as personal advice has proven time and time again to be of great value to both my business and family. I consider myself fortunate to be surrounded by individuals such as yourself. Thank you for helping me navigate life’s challenges.”
Dave Whitcomb
President, Creative Exteriors Inc.
“Ten years ago I was attempting to start a new insurance company when I met Scott and he agreed to help me co-found the new company. Utilizing his knowledge, expertise and influence in the corporate and insurance industries we were able to not only navigate the incredibly complicated insurance regulatory process and get approval, but also find investors willing to invest in the new company. After seven years of operation with Scott’s help, knowledge and expertise we successfully negotiated the sale of the company.”
