Scott Brook

If you are going through a divorce and have the opportunity to have Scott Brook as your attorney, you are one of the lucky ones. Scott is a superb divorce lawyer and so much more--as a professional and a person. He's a litigator and a negotiator. Scott Brook is a pillar of strength, a "sniper" and... smart. He has patience and laser-focus. He's an intelligent and intellectual human-being, and more than anything a "human-being". Scott listens, and he is patient and respectful; he takes the time to explain all angles of every aspect of your case. Scott is direct, answers all questions, and advises you. He cares about your case; he cares about You. Working with Scott, I have been protected and I feel safe. Scott is trustworthy. And, trust me (an attorney), you want him to be Your attorney and not your adversary's. Put yourself in Scott's hands and let him guide you forward.

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.

Exceptional Attorney: Honest, Principled & Professional

Let me start by saying that Scott Brook is an exceptional lawyer who I would highly recommend. My case was unique and complicated as it involved years of history, previous representation and the fact that I live out of state. Picking an attorney off the Internet added to my challenge, actually gettin...g one to respond was challenge enough; yet Scott did respond and after our initial consultation I retained his services. He represented me very well. With my glowing recommendation you would think I won my case, yet I did not. Although Mr. Brook helped me resolve several financial issues with my ex, the overall outcome wasn’t determined until the judge reversed a previous ruling of her own following months of good faith efforts based on her previous directives. That judge has since been removed from the bench. One could not have foreseen this coming and thus any injustice or setbacks were not a result of my representation. From the outset Mr. Brook was excellent at communicating with me. He was very responsive to my emails, rarely letting even a day go by without a response. We scheduled phone consultations and he was always prompt and never canceled; not even once. He assisted me in avoiding mediation, resolved outstanding financial issues, made recommendations that I could live with, dealt honestly both with myself and opposing counsel (oc), and continually pressed the ever stalling oc to responses. Documents needing to be filed were done so in a timely and appropriate manner. He made no excuses while the oc made plenty. Even a national tragedy did not deter him from representing me properly. His demeanor in court was both respectful and professional. His approach to dealing with oc was to be amicable until something sterner was necessary; yet he never wandered into inappropriate. Perhaps what was most significant was Mr Brook’s ability to be a calm and steady voice in a difficult and emotional case. Anyone dealing with divorce involving children knows what I am referring to. I am extremely grateful to Scott and his staff for their professional yet personal approach to dealing with my legal matters. While competent legal counsel is always costly, Scot's fees were reasonable considering the level of service and expertise he brought to my case.  If someone is looking for an unscrupulous  attorney with a "win at all cost" attitude, look elsewhere.  However if you are looking for honest, experienced, principled and professional representation to walk with you each step of the way, advocating for you vigorously, Mr. Brook is perfect for the job. Again, I highly recommend his services.

"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."
