Couldn't of asked for more!

Scott Brook and everyone at this firm exceeded my expectations, have helped me through the toughest part of my life, and are still helping me to this day. The relentless effort and compassion Scott and his team have had for me and continue to have for me are of the highest level. They understood the ...level of complexity of my case and have worked with me step by step and never left me in the dark. When I felt like giving up, I received nothing but support and achieved goals that seemed unreachable. Divorce is an extreamly difficult thing to deal with especially with young children being caught in the middle but Scott and his team have done and are doing everything possible for me and my family. I was never treated like I client, I felt like I was treated like family from day one. Thank you Scott and everyone on your team for everything.

Scott Brook helped me through my divorce

Scott Brook and his entire firm have made this experience simple and easy for me. He is very knowledgeable, personable and truthful about what to expect and the best way to handle every situation. His entire staff is always courteous and very friendly, willing to answer any questions that I threw at... them. Scott was always available to me for even the smallest things and would listen to every question I had even if it was off the wall. I want to thank Scott, Mason, And Stacy for all their hard work in getting me through my divorce and thank you to the rest of his staff for always being courteous and ready to help in any way they could. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to represent me, I highly recommend Scott J. Brook for any future family matters you may have questions about. Thank you again for everything

Couldn't have done it without Attorney Scott Brook

I had only used an attorney one time in my life prior to this and it was not a pleasant experience. So I was very nervous about having to hire another, but I had to. I was referred to Attorney Scott Brook for a divorce after 27 years of marriage and from the first phone call to the last I felt like... my problem was important. Everyone from the front desk to the assistances to the attorneys were so kind and concerned for my problem. If I had a question via a phone call or email I got a response in a very timely manner. 3 years after handling my divorce I had so much trust in this firm that I returned. I had to re-modify my divorce agreement for my children sake. Attorney Brook new how upset I was regarding and worked so very hard for me and my kids. Scott is a very soft spoken, very polite, meek, and humble man when he is speaking to you, but when he went before the judge and opposing counsel and fought for my children he was very self confident, very sure of his case and himself. He knew his case when he walked in that courthouse. Attorney Brook's was very prepared. I won't say I wasn't scared going in there but when I saw and heard Attorney Brook's in the judges chambers all my fears were gone. I would certainly refer Attorney Scott Brook to others. I am so very thankful to have been referred to him for his legal services. What stands out to me about this firm besides winning is the team work. Everyone works together and are very professional and I do believe honestly cares for their clients. I will be forever thankful for Attorney Brook's and his team.

Worst experience of my life

BEWARE OF THIS LAW FIRM!!My experience with Scott Brook, his associates, paralegals are payroll people was the most HORRIFYING experience of my life. I thought divorce was the worst with a newborn child...I guess I was wrong. I should of known that they were all about money with no compassion.When I ...first walked in and had a hour long consultation and as soon as the hour was up, he stopped talking mid sentence because I only paid for a hour. He didn't even answer any any of the questions I needed. Five months later we never even went to court and settled on anything with my ex and I ended up wasting thousands of dollars. If you call to even see how things are moving he will bill you a ridiculous amount. Absolutely no work was done and I'm out of a ton of money. When he thought he wasn't going to get any more money from me,the whole office would not contact me and then he filed a motion to "withdraw counsel" which means he will no longer be my lawyer. Scott Brook and his co-workers told me so many lies for me to sign the motion so he wouldn't have to be my lawyer. I wish I was warned so I will now make it my duty that this never happens to anyone else from Scott Brook and Associates.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had the pleasure of working with Scott on a family matter and was extremely impressed with his superb litigation skills, knowledge of law, and passion for his clients. Scott is brilliant attorney, a master of his craft and an excellent negotiator. I also felt that as a female attorney, Scott saw me as his equal and always treated me with respect, yet he wasn't afraid to battle it out with me to ensure his client's interests were served. (I really appreciated that!) Not only is Scott a zealous advocate and a formidable opponent, he is also a wonderful human being and has a great heart. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to work with him, and I believe anyone that is thinking about whether or not to hire Scott, should not give it a second thought! He is your guy. His extensive experience and ability to think out of the box are an asset to any case. He is just wonderful and has my highest recommendation."
