great person and attorney

It's extremely hard to find an attorney who takes the time to get to know his clients on a more personal level to truly understand the reasons they're in need of their help and develop a real strategy around those needs. From the first consultation to the moment my case was finalized, Mr. Brook and h...is team always reassured me that they're on top of things every step of the way. I was in a custody battle and Mr. Brook and his team made the process easier to deal with and less stressful. I'm extremely greatful for all that they have done for me and my family thorughout this difficult situation. They have lifted a great weight off my shoulders. I would highly recommend Mr. Brook and his firm for your legal needs. Again, Thank you Mr. Brook for all your help...

Big Firm Results with a Small Firm Feel

The firm of Scott J Brook PA exemplifies how a client should be treated when retaining a law firm. You are never treated like a billable transaction. Rather, I was treated as an important person, with important needs, requiring top notch legal counsel. And, as we got deeper into my case, the staff m...ade me feel like part of the family, always showing sincere concern for me, my children and my fiancé now wife. As a client of the firm, my experience with the Scott J Brook PA was exceptional. When I needed my hand held through various parts of defending an extremely difficult relocation petition, the staff as, well as Mr. Brook made sure that I was adequately prepared both mentally and legally to get through what turned out to be a very rigorous ordeal. As a father facing an uphill battle against a mother wanting to leave the state with our kids, the only way I able to navigate this process successfully was due to the exceptional legal preparation of the law firm as well as the emotional support I received from Mr. Brook and his wonderful staff. Mr. Brook won my relocation case and I could not be more thankful.

Couldn't of asked for more!

Scott Brook and everyone at this firm exceeded my expectations, have helped me through the toughest part of my life, and are still helping me to this day. The relentless effort and compassion Scott and his team have had for me and continue to have for me are of the highest level. They understood the ...level of complexity of my case and have worked with me step by step and never left me in the dark. When I felt like giving up, I received nothing but support and achieved goals that seemed unreachable. Divorce is an extreamly difficult thing to deal with especially with young children being caught in the middle but Scott and his team have done and are doing everything possible for me and my family. I was never treated like I client, I felt like I was treated like family from day one. Thank you Scott and everyone on your team for everything.

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.

I couldn't have asked for more

I have used Scott's services twice. First I had to amend a parenting plan then had to petition for a relocation. This wasn't exactly anything I had experience with but learned that the following makes all the difference in the world when you are going through this and what to look for in an lawyer: ... 1. Experience. I am an example kind of person and Scott was able to give me various scenarios which he had experience with to help guide me through the process. He was very confident that although my situation was unique that he had the background to help me prevail. His solutions were creative at times but they totally worked and you can only do that if you've been through a lot. 2. Communication. Both times I was able to communicate with him freely and truly felt that he listened and came up with great solutions to both of my situations. All of my calls and e-mails were responded to promptly and thoroughly. They guide you through the entire process and always show an incredible amount of patience and professionalism. I had a lot of questions! 3. Friendliness: Everyone in the office gives you that same vibe and that was very important to me because the situation is stressful enough. Anything involving a family is going to be challenging but Scott and his team really know what they're doing. I could not be happier with the way my relocation was settled and I don't wish for anyone to have to go through what I had to go through but I wouldn't recommend anyone else besides him!

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."
