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!

Dedicated Lawyer!

Scott, I wanted to take out the time to express to you how appreciative I am of you and your team throughout this rough time in my life.  The magistrate's ruling was unjust, and opposing counsel may feel that they won the fight but we know that God has final say and this battle is ours.  I strongl...y believe that everything happens for a reason and although we may not know what the reasons are now, they will certainly be revealed in due time. Three years ago when my husband served me with divorce papers my 14 yr old was afraid to speak his mind, while my 12 year old is very observant but never spoke her mind, and my  9 yrs. old not understanding what was going on.  Now, I am happy to say that my 17 yrs. old and is able to express how he feels and speak his mind to his Dad, My15 yrs. old and able to express how she feels to anyone without any reservations, and lastly my 12 yrs. old and has an understanding of what is going on even though he's having a little difficulty coping with the separation.  Although this time in my life has been rough and trying, I must say I could not have dealt with it as I’ve been able to and kept my sanity without the awesome people in my life which includes you and everyone on your team…you all are truly God sent.  All I can say is thank you! Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Thank you for being one of the good ones and wanting so see justice served. Thank you for everything. You and your team are truly like family to me and we will go through this together till the end. God bless you! Maika

Excellent Family Lawyer

As an embattled father trying to assert my parental rights, Scott and his team were invaluable in and out of court. Because of his legal expertise and methodical approach, we negotiated a better arrangement, so now my son and I are closer than ever. I highly recommend Scott and his team. They empower...ed me and made a huge difference in my family life. Thank you Scott!

Leaving on a jet plane...

I was referred to Mr. Brook by a family member who knew I was in a desperate situation with absolutely NO room for error! I came to him, originally, in March 2013 with a relocation case in which my husband and I were moving out of state for career opportunities and my ex-husband, whom I shared visita...tion with, was fighting us tooth and nail. Scott was willing and able to do what was necessary to win our case. From our deposition, through to our trial, Scott and his staff were completely prepared and capable of standing up to my ex-husbands egotistical, bully of a lawyer whose best defense was name-calling!! Scott was able to make him fearful for a negative outcome based on their defense and with good reason! LONG story long, we were victorious!! Not just once but THREE times, when my ex-husband appealed two additional times after our initial trial. If you are looking for a family lawyer, look no further than the man who values his own family above all!!! And don't forget to ask for Mason Nettleton, Mr. Brook's AMAZING associate who had to deal with countless emails and phone calls from me in basket case mode and he/they did so with a smile on their face and the confidence I needed to get through this incredibly stressful time! Thank you Scott, Mason, Nicole, Debbie, and the rest of this amazing team! My family and I are forever indebted to you!

Super Scott!!

Scott is not only my lawyer, but he has been a mentor and a friend as well. He has helped me through my darkest times and never, ever, ever gave up on me or my children for that fact (whom adore him as well!). His staff is amazing and no matter how thick my file was or how many additional folders t...hey needed for my case(s) they always took the time out to make sure I understood everything. When I felt as though I was losing Scott and his staff brought me back to reality!!! I am very blessed to have had chosen Scott as my lawyer and to have made it this far!!

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."
