Mr and Mrs. Williams, A

Awesome lawyer
Mr Brookhuis is very professional, informative, responsive, honest and helpful. He saved my family while we were going through financial hardship. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help with their case. He’s always a phone call or email away. He took my case and literally helped me throughout the entire process and even after my case was granted he still is there anytime I have questions or concerns about my case. Nobody anticipates financial hardship in their life but if you’re going through it and need an attorney who’s hardworking, dedicated, honest please call Mr Brookhuis and the The Brookhuis law firm.

Personal, helpful attorney
John helped me file bankruptcy for a family member.  He was very patient and helpful with with whatever questions we had and was very understanding of our particular financial situation.  I did not expect to get as much personal, 1:1 help from an attorney that we were not paying hourly.  I am extremely grateful for her services and would recommend him to anyone, 100%!

Seamless Chapter 7
John is great, he knows his stuff. I sent him everything he requests prior to our consultation. He input everything so the consultation meeting went quickly. I paid the fee and he filed the same day. Within a few days, I had my Trustee Appointment scheduled. He was early and he made sure I was well prepared for the session. He was attentive and addressed all my questions and concerns promptly.

Would 100% Recommend Brookhuis Law, LLC.
Upon filing for Chapter 7, I was uneasy about the entire process. However, John and his team were beyond helpful in every way possible. With his patience, accessibility, supportiveness, and how he managed to answer every question I had along with making me feel more at ease about the process, I was always well-informed and knew that I could count on him. I would 100% recommend Brookhuis Law to anyone.

I really appreciate you.

John is very knowledgeable and has patience of a saint. Whenever I had questions and/or concerns, he was always accessible, available and equipped to provide me with a solution that eased my anxiety.

Experienced and Professional
John was a colleague of mine at King & King LLC; he is very professional and will fully and competently represent you in your consumer bankruptcy case. John was the "go-to" guy for all bankruptcy related questions at our firm. He has likely encountered every possible consumer bankruptcy scenario in his career thus far as a Bankruptcy attorney, giving him the requisite experience to represent all types of clients.
