Will preparation

Used Roberts expertise to develop my and my wife’s will and other estate documents. Robert carefully and completely walked us through the process by first doing an extensive review of us, our ages, current situation and desires and needs. In the end we have a very thorough set of official documents a...vailable for our children when the time comes. Extremely pleased with the service Robert provided

Senior Moment

My husband has gone through a health challenge that made everyone stop and question - is everything in order? I spoke with Lawyer Brooks over the phone and he answered every question that I had. He gave me guidelines to help start the process of making sure all our legal papers were updated and wha...t they need to include. He was very compassionate and professional and I will have him review and advise us in person soon.

"I give Robert my highest recommendation as an estate planning, guardianship and conservatorship, and elder law attorney. It has been my pleasure to know Robert for nearly ten years. I have worked with him directly for three years. In that time I have found him to be able to work with families to craft estate planning solutions that work for the family, and that consider tax and probate issues. He is personable, diligent, and a strong advocate for his clients."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
