Scott Jonathan Brook

Mr. Brook was highly recommended by a very close friend. He took lots of care in helping me through the painful process of my divorce. He answered my questions thoroughly and was always available for a talk. He was very professional and easy to talk to. I now not only have a great lawyer to turn to b...ut a great friend as well. I would highly recommend Scott Brook to anyone in need of a great family law attorney.

I've had few positive experiences with attorneys. I say this because a lot of them think they are above most people with an arrogant air about them. Mr. Brook is far from that. From the moment I stepped into his office for the consultation he put me at easy. He explained everything and we discuss...ed thinks at length and he actually listens to understand vs listening to just hear what's being said. That is very important when choosing an attorney, He also gave me an example from his life that corresponded with an event in my life. I can't stress how few people show empathy now a days. It was quite refreshing. So far every interaction I've had with Scott and everyone of his office personnel from Kim to Krishna to Amanda has been amazing. I can't say thank you enough to all of them for helping me through this very trying process. Let me say this has not been a typical easy situation for any party involved either. I will definitely say that should I ever need any legal help in family law in the future. I will definitely be calling Scott back again

Mr Brooks was hired for a 3rd party custody case. This case was extremely complex. After paying his 295.00 consultation fee, which by the way, he stopped the zoom meeting to make sure payment went through, I informed him how complex the case was. The red flags went off when he did not know the law in... how long a child holds Jurisdiction in a state. I actually had to educate him, he later confirmed I was correct. That should have been a red flag for me. Once I explained the case, he stated during his paid consultation, that he knew exactly where to go with the case. We would start with emergency petition for temporary custody for the child. The child is my nephew who I have cared for, and raised for over 2 years ( deadbeat parent case). So I paid Mr. Brooks his 5,000 retainer, he also asked for another 1000 just for court cost. Prior to him starting the petition, I sent Mr. brooks a highly detailed email. I sent him evidence, therapy letters, report cards, and a timeline. I am a very through person. I received a petition a few days after our initial conversation. After reading the petition, I thought it was written by a high schooler. I had to not only edit, but correct everything on the petition. I spent hours collecting all the data needed to put together a strong petition. Making Mr Brooks job very easy. I informed Mr. Brooks of my disappointment in the level of incompetence in the petition that was orchestrated. I could not believe that would come form a paralegal. It was clear, Mr. Brooks did not review the petition prior to allowing his paralegal to send it to me. After I emailed him my great disappointment, he agreed with me. Mr. Brooks stated there would be no charge for that petition and he apologized. Fine, I gave him another shot. He then reassigned the petition to another paralegal in the office. Ericka, who was amazing, and sadly no longer with the firm; within 2 hours wrote a wonderful written, to the point petition with very minor issues. She was on top of it. After I approved the petition, I told Mr. Brooks, it sounds good, but I am not a lawyer and now everything is in your hands. 2 days later Mr. Brooks called me and said " well the judge denied the petition" ( crickets). I responded with frustrations once he had no further answers or steps to move forward. " Ok so what is next"? He said 'I guess we have to wait for the hearing in 2 months". Mind you, my nephews deadbeat parents decided to call kidnapping charges on me and law enforcement after giving me a POA to take care of their child for two years. This child sustained neglect and abuse from them, I was NOT going to let them come and take him. So I had to push Mr, Brooks into giving me the next step. Scott like to act like he is Mr. Calm, cool, and collective by telling you " I'll talk to you tomorrow" when you, as a client are looking for answers. He talks to you like a child, when you are his client paying him thousands of dollars. My husband and I are very concern for this little boy, and we are giving all we have to keep him safe. I lost sleep many nights thanks to Mr. Brooks. My attorney should be fighting for me, I felt as if I was fighting my family and Mr. Brooks. After 1 petition, and his bright idea to amend the petition and resubmit it again to the judge, we receive his bill. For the 2nd time his bill was way over. We spent almost 1800 on an amended petition, which only added 3 more paragraphs to the petition filed initially which cost us 2700.00. He charged me 30.00 for a text messages and 2 sentence emails, he charged me for doing research and it took him 2 weeks to file an EMERGENCY petition AFTER I EDIT IT FOR HOURS. He triple charged me for many items and when I confronted him, he withdrew my case! In the consultation he expressed "my daughters are not mine by blood, but they are mine, so I know exactly how you feel", he comes off like a sincere person, but he isn't, he is a politician. DO NOT HIRE!!!
