An Amazing Attorney and person

Scott Brook is an exceptional attorney who I would highly recommend. My case was unique and complicated that my previous family attorney recommended Mr. Brook to me. My ex wife had filed a motion to vacate our final judgement of dissolution of marriage. I was very stressed and fearful of the judgemen...t being overturned. After my first consultation with Mr. Brook I felt very relieved. He has calm and steady voice that puts you at ease. Throughout the case Mr. Brook was excellent in communicating with me and was very responsive to my emails. As far as the case, Scott was able through strategic ways prevent the final judgment of marriage dissolution to be set aside. I am so thankful for him and his staff. He is very professional, honest and an experienced attorney. I would highly recommend him for his services.

Family Law

I would like to express how happy I am that Scott Brooks and his Paralegal Krishna Barrett has agreed to represent my son and his daughter. For many years my son has been locked in a nasty court battle with his ex wife and the shared custody with his daughter without any hope. Today Mr Brooks and h...is team are the legal representative for us and I am very confident that the outcome will be in the best interest of my grand daughter. I would definitely recommend Mr Scott Brooks and his team to anyone with a family situation that requires legal attention. He has been a beacon of light in a dark situation. I most definitely appreciate his hard work and tenacity that he puts into each case. He treats each client not only as a client but as a family member Thank you Scott Brooks for being there for my family Pamela Powell

Supportive and Amazing

Amazing and Supportive Attorney Scott Brook is one of the best family related attorney you can get around in Broward County. Before I was filing for my divorce, I went around and met many lawyers around the area. My case could have been complicated so I want to meet the best attorney possible and I ...sure made the right choice. Everything went smooth as expected. Oppossing counsel was a very pushy one but Scott has given me suggestions throughout to get a desired outcome. Number of type of documents required for filing can be overwhelming, but Scott's staff helped me throughout with this process and was able to process this smoothly. It was very easy to make appointments with him and meet him personally to talk If you are looking to hire an attorney,Scott and his team are amazing professionals who truly look out for their clients

Amazing lawyer

I went to Scott with a pretty complicated family legal matter, he was by far the best person for the job. His understanding, his conviction, his professionalism, his genuine caring, support and legal knowledge went beyond what we could have ever expected. The emotions of a case like ours were extre...mely hard to mange from week to week, Scott used his calm and caring way to keep us grounded and not too worry, he always explained the status of things and never promised anything he didn't think he could deliver. In the early stages of the case we thought that Scott might have been to "low key" since we were so angry at the situation life had presented us with, we wanted a pit bull, as it turns out, Scott is, precisely that, a pit bull but in a calming, smart, intelligent and organized manner...The guy is GREAT!!!! We can go on and on with his praises but we won't, we just wanted everyone to know that we got ALL that we had hoped for. In addition to Scott, the team that worked on our case deserves recognition, they were ALWAYS kind and supportive. When all was said and done, the results were in, WE WON! Scott saved a family and brought joy to our lives, for this we will always be grateful....

Long distance divorce

Scott came highly recommended from a friend and he did not disappoint. I live in California which seemed to slow down and overly complicate an overall simple process. He always answered my questions no matter how minute and he , as well as his staff, were always courteous. I hope I never need his ser...vices again but should I ever need anything in family law I know where to go.

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."
