REVIEW

Would not recommend attorney!!! Trying to get a divorce for more than three years. Scott Brooks is arrogant and more than that he doesn't listen. Being a Mayor at one time I feel he truly believes he is above doing the right thing for all his clients. He has lots of my money but I am not divorced .A...fter years of his self - created delays, excuses and asking for even more money. I wanted a simple divorce that he turned into a giant mess!!! I wish I never heard his name. My kids suffer all the time of my divorce, by the way after all his charges $$$$$$ i'M not divorce yet !!!!

Couldn't have been happier with my settlement

Scott handled my case beyond my expectations. He was a calming force in an uncomfortable divorce situation. Not only did he advocate for my possessions and my rights, but he listened to my goals and fears and handled my case accordingly. I would highly recommend Scott and his firm for any divorce ...case or family law case.

Excellent Attorney

Divorce was a very difficult and painful chapter in my life, but when I met Scott Brook I knew almost instantly that he would be the “one” the attorney that would fight for my rights and the rights of my children. Scott captivated my trust and my instinct said “yes” and a year later, I now know I cou...ld not have made a better decision. Scott, thank you so much for sharing your insight, advice and expertise with a wonderful sense of compassion.”

Gets the job done

Scott Brook and his team helped me get a divorce. A situation like this is not easy by any means. Scott was always understanding when it came to my needs and payments. He treated me as an equal and not as if he was better then me. Mediation was ruff, but that really didn't fall on him, his staff up f...ront are also stellar. He had a kind heart with me and a firm hand when it came to handling a situation when it occurred. If his lawyers that worked for him had made a billing mistake he was quick to find out the problem and help me in every situation. He was very sensitive to my case and 6 months later be still checks in on me to make sure myself and my son are doing well. I got exactly what I wanted from my divorce and I also have now retained a life long friend and attorney, or until he retires.

Excellence in the field of family law

Mr. Brook was my attorney of choice in an extremely difficult (for me) family legal issue. Scott was professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond to my issues and most importantly, he genuinely cared about my concerns. He and his incredibly efficient Team were always quick to respond to my myriad ...questions and patiently guided me through one of the most trying events in my life. In my opinion, Scott Brook is a splendid attorney and an asset not only to our legal field but to our Florida Community, as well.

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."
