Simply Amazing! Knowledge, compassion, and tenacious!

When I was surprised by a revision to my agreement, Brandi became the lead on my case through her law firm. She was invested in my case from day 1 and kept constant communication with me for every issue that came up. She was thorough in her research and knowledge of case law to help me. She also adv...ised me on which issues to fight and which to let go...even telling me to save my retainer money for the important issues! That showed me tremendous integrity, rather than looking for more money for the firm. In some communications and the courthouse, the OC tried to push his weight around, thinking the Brandi being younger would just cave... nothing was further from the truth, and the OC quickly learned she is as fierce and tenacious as I've ever seen! She also had a more sensitive and compassionate side. Brandi was not just my lawyer, she acted as a sounding board, sometimes therapist, and just a truly trusted advisor! I feel there may be more issues in the future and I have NO issues at all trusting Brandi and her staff with my well being and case! I also highly recommend that anyone needing family/divorce legal service, Brandi and her office should be at the top of your list!

Smart and thorough

Attorney Brook kept me well informed and on track through the lengthy process. I was always kept in the loop on where both sides stood. She is smart, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I had to fire a previous lawyer from a different law firm due to that lawyer's lackadaisical approach. I am ...glad I hired Attorney Brandi Brook and her partner Attorney Tom Taranto to finish the job.

Brandi was amazing every step of the way, she was extremely responsive and direct always letting me know the next steps of the divorce process. I highly recommend her and continue to refer everyone I know going through this to go to her.

Beyond Excellent Representation

Attorney Brook has been my representative in a number of on going parental and custody matters. She is nothing short of amazing to work with; displaying excellent knowledge, keen observation, strategic planning and an unwavering calm demeanor. In our case, we are met with challenging and at times unr...easonably capricious opposing counsel. Attorney Brook never breaks a sweat. She was there with me every step of the way with the agility to not only handle but in most cases circumvent the erroneous issues presented. She will always advise you as to what is a worthwhile investment. Unlike other local firms, she will advise you against wasting your resources and the courts time. I truly feel that she has the most honest, upfront and realistic approach to her clients needs. I highly encourage anyone going through a divorce or ongoing parental issues to retain Attorney Brook and the Taranto Law Firm. No body on the North Shore knows the family court system and potential opposition better. When your life and your families lives depend on it accept nothing less.
