Amazing man!!

I went to Scott J. Brook almost 3 years ago with hope that someone could please help us in our current situation. From the first time we met with him he was ready to help, very polite and professional. My husband and I walked out of there knowing that he was the one that would put peace back into our... families lives. He has been nothing but honest with us through out our entire process and always listening to what we have to say. Our opinion matters to him and that really means a lot to us as a family especially through such a difficult time in our lives. From our experience with Mr. Brook he truly cares about his clients. He always keeps me up to date on every single thing that is happening with our case. Answers every question without hesitation. I can call him any day, at anytime if there is an emergency or just a simple question. He will answer even if he is about to walk into a meeting! He still takes the time to listen to you and if needed he will return your call right away. We would recommend him to anyone. His office staff is AMAZING!! Every single person in that office treats us like family and are all very professional. Everyone is always smiling,very welcoming and helpful. We are very proud to call him our attorney! Get an attorney who will really put himself in your shoes, be honest, hard working, dedicated to help your family, listens, cares, and is always professional. We thank him and his amazing team so very much for everything that they have already done for our family.

An Attorney that wins the case

I was recommended to Mr. Brook by a client of mine. So right away I had a good feeling he would be able to help me. From the first appt. to our last meeting Mr. Brook (as he preffered Scott) never rushed me and was very patient . Scott always listened and took the time to answer any and all questions... and concerns. Scott was very Professional as was his entire staff. Scott has good people working with him. When Scott couldn't attend a court date his other Attorney Mason Nettleton was as Professional and reliable. I had two other cases that came up suddenly along with the current one. Scott addressed them both strategetically and in a timely manner. I feel that Scott Brook got me through the hardest part in my life, a Divorce. Without Scott's aggressivness and experience I wouldn't have won my case. I believe Scott went out of his way to call me back at times, extend appt. times if needed. I believe he truely cared about what happened to me and my Family. If anyone needs an Experienced, Intelligent, Caring, Attorney I would recommend Scott Brook 100%.

Excellent Family Lawyer

As an embattled father trying to assert my parental rights, Scott and his team were invaluable in and out of court. Because of his legal expertise and methodical approach, we negotiated a better arrangement, so now my son and I are closer than ever. I highly recommend Scott and his team. They empower...ed me and made a huge difference in my family life. Thank you Scott!

Leaving on a jet plane...

I was referred to Mr. Brook by a family member who knew I was in a desperate situation with absolutely NO room for error! I came to him, originally, in March 2013 with a relocation case in which my husband and I were moving out of state for career opportunities and my ex-husband, whom I shared visita...tion with, was fighting us tooth and nail. Scott was willing and able to do what was necessary to win our case. From our deposition, through to our trial, Scott and his staff were completely prepared and capable of standing up to my ex-husbands egotistical, bully of a lawyer whose best defense was name-calling!! Scott was able to make him fearful for a negative outcome based on their defense and with good reason! LONG story long, we were victorious!! Not just once but THREE times, when my ex-husband appealed two additional times after our initial trial. If you are looking for a family lawyer, look no further than the man who values his own family above all!!! And don't forget to ask for Mason Nettleton, Mr. Brook's AMAZING associate who had to deal with countless emails and phone calls from me in basket case mode and he/they did so with a smile on their face and the confidence I needed to get through this incredibly stressful time! Thank you Scott, Mason, Nicole, Debbie, and the rest of this amazing team! My family and I are forever indebted to you!

Frustrating and Painful Experience... (wish I had done my research)

Mr. Brook was very charming at the beginning of my case but there were several red flags and I wish I had read the reviews before hiring him. He was difficult to reach on the phone, and late for almost every meeting (including depositions and court appearances). There was so much red-tape involved ...in every process that our new lawyer had to begin all over again because the information Mr. Brook charged so much to gather was no longer current. According to our new attorney, countless mistakes were made in our case which caused it to drag on with unnecessary drama and expense and he questions the skills and professionalism of this man! I believe that Mr. Brook is only concerned with making money but has the ability to make you believe that he truly cares.

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."
