Beware of all the little costs that add up!

I found him to be very charming, very calm and collected. He seemed to be very knowledgeable about Child custody cases. He was vey sharp; however, he led me to believe he could help me with my case for no more than $4000 more or less, and in the end, not only did I lose the case, but he took the $400...0, and then took an additional $4000. I was not expecting that. My account went negative, and that was how I found out the other $4000 was taken. When I contacted his office about it, they provided me with a long invoice showing that every phone call, email, etc was being charged. I don't remember the exact amounts but say $15 for a phone call, $20 for an email, and so on.. I obviously spoke with him on several occasions via phone and email not realizing I was being charged. It all adds up very quickly so beware!

Dear Anonymous, We always invite honest and open conversations and love to help committed parents with their child custody matters. We do charge for our time, including emails and phone calls as was explained in the retainer agreement. We also were unable to provide you with a flat fee arrangement as your matter was contested. As such, we are unable to provide anything more than an estimate of the costs of litigated cases. When we first meet with a client, we are not aware of how litigious the other side might be nor how quickly an agreement might be reached. We wish you and your family the best in your future.

Family Law

I would like to express how happy I am that Scott Brooks and his Paralegal Krishna Barrett has agreed to represent my son and his daughter. For many years my son has been locked in a nasty court battle with his ex wife and the shared custody with his daughter without any hope. Today Mr Brooks and h...is team are the legal representative for us and I am very confident that the outcome will be in the best interest of my grand daughter. I would definitely recommend Mr Scott Brooks and his team to anyone with a family situation that requires legal attention. He has been a beacon of light in a dark situation. I most definitely appreciate his hard work and tenacity that he puts into each case. He treats each client not only as a client but as a family member Thank you Scott Brooks for being there for my family Pamela Powell

Amazing Family Law Attorney

When you are going through a major life transition like a divorce, you prepare yourself for very difficult days ahead. Other than the support of family and friends, the very positive experience that I had with Attorney Scott Brook stood out as a beacon of light during a difficult period. From the tim...e that we met to discuss the details, throughout the process and right up to the final hearing and even beyond to finalize details, Scott, his paralegal Carmen and associate attorneys were skilled, helpful, compassionate and showed a level of empathy rarely found these days. Thank you to Scott Brook for making my life easier when I needed the help of an attorney. He is the best!

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."
