Child Custody/Child Support

I was depressed with no clue what to do in my custody battle when I initially met Scott. I walked into his office around 4:30 pm and told him the matters at hand until almost 6:30 pm during this initial consultation. After interviewing multiple attorneys and getting several quotes on what was the b...eginning of a pretty sophisticated custody battle, I ended up retaining Scott based on the confidence he gave me that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and I WOULD GET THROUGH THIS AND SEE MY CHILD AGAIN (it had been about 7 months since I had seen my child). Although things were getting nasty and we had an uphill battle due to the fact my ex and opposing counsel (her multiple attorneys) threw everything in the book at me over several years to try to take my child out of my life by hiring multiple attorneys... it did not matter. I had the law, the truth and Scott J. Brook on my side. At the end of this extensive custody battle Scott prevailed. I have been with Scott in depositions, in the court room, and even seen him outside the legal field - volunteering his time in the community. I can assure you that when Scott is your representation, you have an individual on your side that is an amazing communicator, excellent debater, great negotiator and natural leader. Factor that with his poise, intelligence and sincerity to assist and resolve your legal matters in a positive manner and you have what I would call a great attorney. I would also like to add that he has a great staff and they are very responsive to assisting any way they can

Best Attorney Ever!!!

I was so confused about the whole legal process, but Scott and his staff made everything so much easier for me. They were there for me for even the questions I thought were stupid and they were very timely with everything. I could not have asked for a better lawyer!

Scott Brook a man of sincerity and honesty!!!.. You can't lose with that.

Dear Scott,While this thank you is long over due, it is still deeply, deeply heartfelt.I will forever be grateful to you for your care, compassion, understanding and support during my crisis. Thank you for your words of comfort and encouragement, for bringing me  a bountiful and fullfilling closure, ...and for making it possible for me to gather with family and seek help without any worry.I remember when i first solicited your services, something you said to me that peirced my heart. And has stayed with me for the last ten years you sat me down in your office and said to me that you wanted the truth because you will not ever represent anyone that lied to you. you also said that you win your cases with the truth and that struck a cord with me, that to me was the most important aspect of me winning my case and that showed me a man of great interity and i will never hesitate to recomend you to anyone should they ever need an attorney, you have been a great attorney friend and a brother to me in the most difficult ten years of my life, You have such an exemplary and kind heart, and i can not thank you enough for all you did (and continue to do) to help me get through a difficult and scary time. As my Attorney and a great freind you will never know how much you have really helped me through out the last 10 years of my life and still here for me even after my case was closed.   you continued to be there for me something that no other attorney that i have ever dealth with has done for me thank you for your proffesional help and kind freindship. sincerly Tennyson CharlesMost sincerely, Tennyson Charles.

Is the right Lawyer for you!

I always thought Lawyers were crooks, but after meeting Mr. Brook and his Staff I can say I have the most respect for what they do, assisting someone like me that is going through a very nasty and long divorce. He is punctual,honest,trustworthy. Always take his time to insure I understand what his go...ing on in my case gives me expectation and perspective what may happen during my case. I can call Mr. Brook at anytime and He always available, and if his not one available one of his staff will call me back to assist me with my concern. I will always recommend Mr. Brook to anyone going through a divorce.

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."
