Scott Jonathan Brook

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!

In the times of extreme confusion of a divorce Mr. Brooks was there for me from the beginning to the end answering all questions and taking care of the needs him and his professional team made this a smooth time for me and the other party also. I m for ever thankful for him. Also as the Mayor of ou...r City Coral Springs he is an amazing leader with a beautiful heart always in touch with the Comunity that’s why his moto is UNITY IN THE COMMUNITY. He gets involved with everyone even giving up his personal cell number for everyone to call him at every time he holds lots of groups with the youth mental awareness and many others Definitely the tipe of person you need in times of need Once again I m eternally thankful to Mr Scott Jonathan Brooks I highly recommend him and his professional Staff

Attorney Scott Brook represented me better than I ever could have imagined. During my very difficult time (divorce related issues) my needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than as a number or a stranger. My doubts and extreme anxieties we're always reassured and my feelings and op...inions were valued. My nerves were calmed personally by Attorney Brook himself, he went above and beyond and he did everything he could to achieve a great outcome! Attorney Brook and his office team are highly professional, responsive, and caring. I am very thankful and appreciate of Attorney Scott Brook and highly recommend him because he is truly there for you!

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!!!
