Laura E Brooks

Terrible attorney no morals or ethics I should have definitely reported her to the disciplinary council. She tried to drop me as her client a few days before we went to court for a custody hearing but the judge did not allow her to do so due to such short notice. Due to this my daughter ended up with... her mother and mother’s boyfriend who was touching her inappropriately in which SVU had to get involved. Laura was also aware that this guy was on the most wanted list from law enforcement and it was not in my daughters best interest to be in the home with her mother. After wanting to no longer represent me Laura then had the nerve to try and send me a bill for payment after doing myself and my child a disservice. She is not the type of attorney you want to hire especially when your child’s livelihood is at risk. Laura has definitely did me and my family a disservice

Laura is extremely knowledgeable and answered every question I had concerning my case no matter how dumb or insignificant I thought it was. She responds promptly even though she has many other cases she's working on. Honestly she treated me as a friend and not like a client. Her prices are extremely ...reasonable. I shopped around for family court lawyers and they wanted triple the price of her retainer fee. She was Highly recommended from other lawyers that were not available to take my case. I was not paid for this review or have any other incentives to write this review. I Honestly want any potential clients who wants a caring, competent, reasonably priced lawyer to know she is the cream of the crop. If I could give her one hundred stars I would!!!!!

Laura is the best Divorce Attorney EVER. She is compassionate, kind, honest, and she will fight for your rights. Laura kept me calm throughout the process. She totally understood my situation and she FOUGHT for me. Thank you, Laura, for helping me get what was rightfully mine. God places people in y...our life for a reason and I thank God for Laura. She is stuck with me for life. If you want a Divorce Attorney who will fight for you, look no further.

I had a nasty custody battle and divorce. I still do not feel educated on my rights at all. Ms. Brooks advised me to file a PFA, then advised me to drop it at the hearing (despite more acts of abuse and no contact violations in between) She completely misled me on “stipulation of dismissal and interi...m custody agreement”. My emotionally and physically abusive ex threw out marital property, stole checks, forged my name, and accused me of stealing from the home. She did not answer my questions and I was forced to sign another insurance check in court (at custody hearing) Ms. Brooks told me to sign it and it would be worked out in the ancillary hearing.. between the custody hearing and divorce pretrial she continually asked about the paperwork, but did not answer my questions regarding the fraud and how it would be worked out. She then filed a motion to drop me as a client days before the pretrial conference- since i didn’t send the papers back without my questions being answered- as I didn’t want to get screwed. So I was left at pretrial conference alone to defend myself against another attorney - who made it clear she & ms brooks discussed my case a lot during their personal relationship.. The worst of it all is that she forwarded my emails to my ex’s attorney without my consent. I believed i was speaking in confidence and my own emails to my lawyer were entered as evidence against me.. and had I known my ex would have seen it- i wouldn’t have sent it at all. That significantly strained the relationship as I wasn’t sure how to speak to her about anything anymore for fear of my ex. I made it clear I was trying to ensure I got full custody- at least primary residency, and specifically asked for a lawyer understanding narcissism and emotional abuse. I strongly advise a different attorney - especially if you are the victim of abuse.
