Top Notch

We recently used Brooks and Crowley LLP for a deed transfer and title closing. Steven Brooks was fantastic! Very easy to work with, kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. He replies extremely fast, anytime I had a question he responded right away. Top-notch customer service and smooth clo...sing! I look forward to working with Steve again. A++

Master

As a Boston lawyer I have had the honor and privilege of working with Attorney Brooks and was, frankly, very impressed with his ability to prevail against a very powerful adversary in a complex case. Thanks for the experience, Steve.

"I highly endorse Steven Brooks! He and his firm have my utmost trust and respect. Steven is a great guy who demonstrates integrity and character. He is smart, detail-oriented, and steadfast, yet he is still compassionate and cares about his clients. Having worked in real estate law early in my career, there are few attorneys I would trust with my own clients - Steven is that guy. If one of my own clients is in need of real estate work, Steven is the lawyer I send them to."

General practice lawyer | Aug 04

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Early in my legal career I was opposing counsel against Attorney Brooks in criminal matters. He was always well-prepared and zealously defended his clients. When I left the District Attorney's office and opened my own practice, he was one of the first lawyers from whom I sought advice. Over the years I have dealt with Attorney Brooks in many different areas including real estate and corporate law. He is one of the most competent, hard-working and dedicated lawyers that I know. He enjoys a stellar reputation in the legal community among his clients, colleagues, judges and court personnel. I personally trust his judgment, legal acumen and common sense and have sought his counsel and advice on many occasions."
