Posted by Nichol | November 16, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

JUSTICE, FINALLY!!

I had a couple of cases going on at the same time that Scott handled. Enforcement of the sale of my marital home, enforcement of my divorce with mediation. Scott made me feel secure and not bullied by my ex-husband and his attorney. Scott would take each subject one by one and thoroughly go throu...gh information and documentation. He would ask me questions about my thoughts and feelings before going forward with anything. And he would be honest with me - would this be something worth going to court for or pursuing? are you really ready to move forward? when you are, I am here. Gave best case scenario honestly and always let the final decision be mine. I never felt that he was not listening to me or supportive of me. I knew he was. In mediation, I felt secure and confident. We did our homework and worked as a team. We listened to each other and I finally was awarded!!!

Strategic like a businessman, not just a suit.

I hired Scott J. Brook to represent me in efforts to modify a 5 year old (original) parenting plan. My intent was to change the time share from 50%/50% to a time share that worked better for my children and me. I was immediately pleased with Scott's demeanor and how comfortable I was talking to... him about my situation. I was also impressed that he gave me his personal cellular number, making himself immediately available to me both during work hours as well as after hours. Scott put my children's and my needs first, educating me on what to expect as we chartered these unfamiliar waters. I was never surprised with the direction the change took because Scott had communicated previously what would be most likely to occur. This brought a great comfort to me and my children. Like the answer or not, I was always well informed. Scott's "out of the box" thinking and seamless ability to navigate my commission based profession, proved to be immensely beneficial as we maneuvered through the financial portion of the modification. He listened to me as I made suggestions and allowed me to be part of the process. It felt like we were a team. Scott is strategic, thinking like a businessman, not just a "suit". His questions are calculated and were communicated in a profound manner. I highly recommend hiring Scott J. Brook. When you hire Scott J. Brook, you are not hiring simply a lawyer to represent you, you are hiring an advocate and a voice. I felt very comfortable putting all of my confidence in him and his expertise. I wish Scott J. Brook had represented me when I went through my divorce. You want Scott in your corner.

Couldn't have done it without Attorney Scott Brook

I had only used an attorney one time in my life prior to this and it was not a pleasant experience. So I was very nervous about having to hire another, but I had to. I was referred to Attorney Scott Brook for a divorce after 27 years of marriage and from the first phone call to the last I felt like... my problem was important. Everyone from the front desk to the assistances to the attorneys were so kind and concerned for my problem. If I had a question via a phone call or email I got a response in a very timely manner. 3 years after handling my divorce I had so much trust in this firm that I returned. I had to re-modify my divorce agreement for my children sake. Attorney Brook new how upset I was regarding and worked so very hard for me and my kids. Scott is a very soft spoken, very polite, meek, and humble man when he is speaking to you, but when he went before the judge and opposing counsel and fought for my children he was very self confident, very sure of his case and himself. He knew his case when he walked in that courthouse. Attorney Brook's was very prepared. I won't say I wasn't scared going in there but when I saw and heard Attorney Brook's in the judges chambers all my fears were gone. I would certainly refer Attorney Scott Brook to others. I am so very thankful to have been referred to him for his legal services. What stands out to me about this firm besides winning is the team work. Everyone works together and are very professional and I do believe honestly cares for their clients. I will be forever thankful for Attorney Brook's and his team.

Excellent legal team and expertise offered while providing sincere care and concern

I was referred to Scott's service through another lawyer in my network. From the initial meeting, Scott presented confidence, concern and expertise in supporting me through the divorce process. It was a daunting process and emotionally trying time for me, I genuinely felt Scott gave me reassurance an...d peace that he will support me through this process till end. His team was also easy to work with, responsive and kind. This was quite a devastating period of my life and to be surrounded with them did significantly help me through the process. I particularly appreciated Scott's honesty and direct approach to deal with the legalities, I felt he was confident and possess a high amount of legal expertise to assist his clients successfully. Thank you Scott and team!

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.

"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."
