Laura E Brooks

Laura represented me for over 6 years of a nightmare custody battle that would not have been tolerable without her professionalism and support. She was referred to me by a coworker whose fiance worked at the court house. Her fiance said that she is the number one attorney for custody cases and that... everyone in the court house knows how great she is. This statement could not be more accurate. Her expertise, knowledge and overall passion for her clients, the child involved and the outcomes is admirable. From my very first interaction with Laura she was transparent and beyond empathetic to my situation. She cares deeply about her clients and I never doubted that she had my best interest throughout the entire court battle. Laura had amazing follow up and communication. She was quick to respond to my emails, phone calls or text messages. She kept me and my husband informed every step of the way. We knew when motions were filed and documents were submitted. We were always aware of the costs associated and the billing of her time and custody activities was always clear and specific to whatever charges were assessed. Laura was accessible to both myself and my husband for advice on issues that would constantly come up from emails or texts from my sons father. She would provide counsel and communicate with the attorney of my ex to ensure that court orders were being followed. Laura not only gave advice on every situation that we encountered but helped us to navigate through the legalities and ensured that we were always doing the best thing for my son. In the court room Laura is passionate and diligent. She is prepared for anything and carries herself gracefully but with drive and commitment to ensure that her clients case is delivered with the facts and supported with the proper documentation. She does not allow her clients to take the stand without feeling confident in her abilities to represent them. Laura speaks eloquently and is well educated in custody laws and guidelines. Laura is committed to providing the best outcomes and works so hard to make sure that the facts and truth are always clear when she presents your case. Laura does not allow a challenging situation or her personal opinions to get in the way of her court room execution. She knows how to present every aspect of the case and highlights the most important issues. She does not get thrown off by opposing counsel and can speak confidently to the best interest of a child as that is what was most important to me throughout the entire battle. It is because of Laura and her drive and commitment to me and my family that we won our fight and my son is now where he belongs. I cannot imagine working with any other attorney. We will forever recommend and endorse Laura for her services, professionalism and personal drive to help others.

I was really nervous about my child custody case because of how sensitive this area is and the fear I had of losing custody and/or time with my son. Laura naturally supported me through this process which provided me with more confidence in my case. Leading up to court she communicated with me prompt...ly and explained the process clearly. Laura did a great job in the court room. I was so happy with the way she performed. She made the experienced lawyer the other party had look like an amateur. Ultimately, the judge ruled in my favor.

I retained Laura to assist with a complicated multi-state PFA and Custody Hearing. Laura is an excellent attorney who is very competent and compassionate. As with most Family Court matters the issues surrounding my case are/were sensitive and very emotional. While the custody matter is scheduled fo...r mid April, Laura worked with co-counsel in NY to successfully petition the NY Family Court to order the custody matter be heard in Delaware. Laura was also successful in arguing for the dismissal of a PFA filed in Delaware. I would highly recommend Laura as she is a thorough communicator, attentive listener and superior legal strategist. Laura is honest, responsive and after every interaction I am left feeling that Laura genuinely cares about me as a person and parent. Throughout what has felt like the "fight of my life", Laura has remained focused, positive and incredibly supportive. Having held several positions in the Family Court prior to being admitted to the Delaware Bar, Laura has develop lasting and mutually respectful relationships with seemingly everyone in Family Court. I highly recommend Laura!!!
