Outstanding Attorney

Scott is incredible, comforting, smart, and understanding. If you Hire Scott you can expect a lawyer that will put you first. His understanding of family issues is flawless. Scotts ability to keep you calm and fully explain everything is amazing. This is not your typical attorney trying to increase y...our bill, Scott prides himself on no-nonsense. He has no fear for opposing counsel, just confident that he has your back. Scott was my attorney in many court appearance's and I walked out of every court appearance the winner, he had the ability to embarrass opposing counsel. If you are a Man seeking an attorney, this is your attorney. Scott has secured my child with me, he has the ability to keep the wife's nonsense from destroying my family life. Scott has remained my friend. A++ I would recommend Scott

Most effective Lawyer

Mr. Brooks and his team did such a fantastic job on my almost impossible case. These very special and unique individuals all work together. They are always on the same page and all very kind. With a keen understanding of your rights as a parent, he will not fail you in litigation. Mr. Brooks truly ca...red for me and my children. His staff contacted me throughout my awful ordeal and made me feel like I was part of their family. You are truly in the best hands when it comes to family law. Scott is the most effective lawyer I have ever met. He will not bow down to a challenge. I am forever grateful to Scott, Mason and the his wonderful staff." As far as any negative comments about Mr. Brooks moral character please know that you are not only paying for his dedicated time but the entire team effort which includes his associate. Well worth the spending.

Frustrating and Painful Experience... (wish I had done my research)

Mr. Brook was very charming at the beginning of my case but there were several red flags and I wish I had read the reviews before hiring him. He was difficult to reach on the phone, and late for almost every meeting (including depositions and court appearances). There was so much red-tape involved ...in every process that our new lawyer had to begin all over again because the information Mr. Brook charged so much to gather was no longer current. According to our new attorney, countless mistakes were made in our case which caused it to drag on with unnecessary drama and expense and he questions the skills and professionalism of this man! I believe that Mr. Brook is only concerned with making money but has the ability to make you believe that he truly cares.

Child Custody/Child Support

I was depressed with no clue what to do in my custody battle when I initially met Scott. I walked into his office around 4:30 pm and told him the matters at hand until almost 6:30 pm during this initial consultation. After interviewing multiple attorneys and getting several quotes on what was the b...eginning of a pretty sophisticated custody battle, I ended up retaining Scott based on the confidence he gave me that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and I WOULD GET THROUGH THIS AND SEE MY CHILD AGAIN (it had been about 7 months since I had seen my child). Although things were getting nasty and we had an uphill battle due to the fact my ex and opposing counsel (her multiple attorneys) threw everything in the book at me over several years to try to take my child out of my life by hiring multiple attorneys... it did not matter. I had the law, the truth and Scott J. Brook on my side. At the end of this extensive custody battle Scott prevailed. I have been with Scott in depositions, in the court room, and even seen him outside the legal field - volunteering his time in the community. I can assure you that when Scott is your representation, you have an individual on your side that is an amazing communicator, excellent debater, great negotiator and natural leader. Factor that with his poise, intelligence and sincerity to assist and resolve your legal matters in a positive manner and you have what I would call a great attorney. I would also like to add that he has a great staff and they are very responsive to assisting any way they can

I got terrible results

Scott Brook is about the almighty buck. He took on a case without fully disclosing what was required to win. He dragged the case out for more appearances. He lost files, forgot to file and did not follow up on deadlines. Passed off work to employees not qualified to do it. Was often unreachable a...nd did not return your call. Very argumentative with other attorneys and obviously did not want to reach an agreement of any sort. Gave a ballpark figure of possible cost for case and was 3 times more. Double billed. Has so many people working on case hard to follow invoice, but check it very carefully. Was very condescending when questioned. Bottom line...took a very long time to be ineffective. Would not even recommend him to my ex!! Stay away.

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."
