Laura E Brooks

Laura was recommended to me by a close friend when I was going through a divorce. My first meet with Laura I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed as she was very attentive to my story and all the details pertaining to my divorce. Throughout the entire process of the Divorce, Laura was always ...available to answer my questions and handled the entire process flawlessly. When we attended court throughout the process, Laura was not at all intimidated by anyone. She was clear, concise and made her points strong and delivered countless blows to the opposing parties by stating facts and details. At no point during the process did Laura lower herself to the opposing parties side. She stayed above par throughout the entire process and plays clean and fair, but certainly very stern in her beliefs and actions. When it was all over and finished, even though divorces tend to typically be stressful and prolonged, I had zero stress. Laura is not only an excellent attorney, she takes the time to listen and understand the whole situation and all the facts. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone that needs an attorney for Divorce.

If you don't have the time or money to waste than I highly recommend not picking Laura Brooks as your legal counsel. She was recommended as being the best. Maybe she was years ago but not now. She don't like to meet in person or talk on the phone. She don't keep you updated on your case unless you ...reach out to her. She file motions late which gives the judge reason to deny them. She's too impersonal instead of being professional when needing to be. She with drew from my case a day before trial due to her "not liking to be questioned about not informing me in a timely manner." She's being paid to work for me and my children best interest. This left me with a lot of adding on stress, time and money wasted, disappointment and confusion. She showed up to trial to only make sure the judge granted her motion to withdrawal. She left my file, which I notice some of my exhibits that was suppose to be presented during trial was missing. Also she charge me for coming to court the day of trial and a couple of other things that she shouldn't gotten paid for. She's a joke! Laura was my first family court lawyer and she was the worst pick ever!! I know what to look for in my next legal counsel and it won't be someone like Laura Brooks.

I hired Mrs. Brooks to represent me in a child custody case and 3rd party visitation case. Between both cases Brooks kept in touch, every time I reached out to her with a question she gave me an answer within a reasonable time. She was very reliable. Also, very knowledgeable, and without a doubt... cared for the well being of my child. I won both cases through Mrs. brooks. Although, it was a stressful time period, I found peace In knowing my case was in great hands! Not to mention she worked with me regarding payment. As a single mother, scrounging up the funds for a lawyer can be difficult. However, Mrs. Brooks made an arrangement that worked best for the both of us and continued to give me remarkable service!

I hired Laura Brooks to handle my divorce in 2012. Laura was extremely knowledgeable of the law, the process and court system, she provided sound advice and counsel, she was prompt in responding to my inquiries and concerns, and she prepared and processed the paperwork in a timely manner. I have re...commended Laura to several friends and colleagues and have no doubt she is providing the same level of professional service to them.

I hired Laura to represent me on my child custody case. I was referred to her by the DE Family Court. I had a consultation with her and she appeared to be caring and I thought she would be the right one to help me but I was wrong. After I made the first payment, she never returned my calls or emails.... I always had to follow up twice with her. We had a meeting scheduled (which I took off of work to attend) and she never even called to cancel or rescheduled. She sent me a sorry text message stating that she had an emergency. If she had an emergency hearing, why didn't she call me when she found out? I was waiting to hear from her and she never reached out to me to let me know that she needed to reschedule. Either she's unorganized or cares nothing about my case. Both is a RED flag!!! That was the 1st time she cancelled. I sent her emails and she would take days to follow up. I always had to send another message to get a response. She also told me that she didn't need to attend the mediation. Horrible advice!! Once I found another attorney, he told me that she attended a mediation for another client. smh... After 2 months of no returned calls, no response to my emails, cancelled appointments, no updates and no guidance or help with my case, I decided to let her go. I sent her an email requesting a refund and she sent me a letter with a bunch of charges to zero out the balance. She charged me $75 for every email I sent to her and $75 for every email she answered. I was blown away. Enclosing, when you are going thru difficult times, you need a lawyer that will stick by you. Its bad enough that you are going thru emotionally and financially, why add to your pain? I would not advise that you hire this lawyer and I took the time to write this to let you know because I care. Everyone has their own experiences and yours might be different but why choose someone that would do this to another person, when they are going thru rough times.
