Brooks Richard Siegel

I would not retain this firm again and would advise prospective clients to carefully evaluate their expectations regarding communication, responsiveness, and client support. From the outset, there were avoidable issues. During the initial intake process, I was disconnected/hung up on, and a schedu...led intake meeting was later missed without prior notice, follow-up, or explanation. These issues were not addressed proactively and set the tone for the remainder of the representation. Throughout the case, routine and reasonable questions frequently required multiple follow-ups over extended periods to receive a response, if a response was received at all. Phone calls routinely went unanswered and were not returned. Written messages were read without reply. When responses were provided, they were often brief, dismissive, or argumentative rather than explanatory. Early in the process, I was provided information regarding my rights that later proved to be inaccurate. When clarification was requested, the response was argumentative rather than corrective. Escalation to the attorney did not resolve these concerns. The interaction felt rushed and did not provide meaningful guidance, leaving important questions unanswered. There were also delays in handling reaffirmation-related matters, which required additional follow-up on my part to ensure the issue was addressed at all. These delays contributed to unnecessary uncertainty late in the process and reinforced the broader pattern of reactive rather than proactive case management. Additionally, motions were filed in my case without any notice or explanation to me. The only way I became aware of these filings was by independently monitoring the docket through PACER. Clients should not have to discover court activity in their own case through self-monitoring to stay informed. Communication appeared inconsistent and uneven. Billing-related matters were addressed promptly, while substantive case-related questions, filings, and procedural concerns often were not. As a result, I was left to independently determine and confirm basic procedural timelines and expectations that should reasonably have been explained during representation. Despite repeated attempts to engage, communication did not improve. The cumulative effect of missed appointments, delayed responses, lack of notice regarding filings, reaffirmation delays, and dismissive interactions significantly increased the stress of an already difficult legal process. While the legal outcome itself may be routine, the experience reflected systemic deficiencies in communication, professionalism, and client management. Clients who value timely updates, accurate guidance, and transparent communication may wish to consider other firms before retaining this one.

Please do not go to this law firm. They're liars, and absolutely no communication. Their paralegal, Mayra is rude, disrespectful and has no idea how to communicate with the clientele that she's supposed to represent. After receiving my discharge, I still had creditors hounding me, because the fir...m did not do their due diligence. They put it back on me like I did something wrong. I got one of the creditors on the phone with the firm and of course she said that some there was still outstanding paperwork needed. The firm told me not to worry about anything and they'd take care of it. Fast forward 90 days and I'm still receiving bills saying that I still had an un paid balance. At this point I am beyond upset. Finally after receiving a call from Brooks himself, which happened on 3 occasions, which was to cover for their incompetency. Again absolutely no communication whatsoever. Then he tries telling me that they did what they were supposed to do and gave me some lawyer BS. Going through a bankruptcy is hard enough. But please save yourself some grief and CHOOSE ANOTHER ATTORNEY!

Stay away he hold me hostage with my case against Nissan for 5 months and counting he won't go forward even after Nissan approved the stelment and agreed to pay him his fee because I won't sign my part of the stelment to him . And I refused to do that because he tried to make sign a paper that said I... have to pay him more than half off my money, he blocked me ( phone and email ) so I can't fire him, him and the lemon law group are scammer. Almost all the good reviews has only first name that means they are fake

This is far the worse attorney I’ve have ever felt with when my business was having a hard time finding employees and we lost a lot of business because of it I reached out to him regarding bankruptcy he said it would be in my best interest to file chapter 13 for myself since I guaranteed some of the ...business loans. My personal credit and bills were fine. He said you can just add everything in the pot and do a 100 pay back plain. And not have to worry and he advised me to stop paying them. So I gave him the retainer of $2000 well after 2 days of thinking about this I did not want to ruin my credit so I texted and called his paralegal as well as him to cancel everything and refund my money then he called and persuaded me that this was the best option for financial freedom that I could have a chance of losing everything we own our house our cars everything well I believe him and said go ahead then well September 1 his paralegal called me at 11 PM I needed all cars of signatures while I was asleep. Woke me up out of my sleep. I’ll taking sleeping medicine to help me sleep that’s prescribed by my doctor. I went ahead and sign because I was not even in my right mind at the time the next morning when I realized what it happened I told him I didn’t wanna file right now, but I found it anyways, so then I had to get another attorney because they stop calling me and messed everything up. Stay far far away from this company. They’re nothing but a fraud.

I hired this lawyer for bankruptcy I paid my retainer fee it all my paperwork send it into him completed all my paperwork and found out that I had some money coming from another lawsuit which I didn’t realize at the time I was going to get let him know about this information in about this money comin...g in he didn’t get back to me in time made it sound like I can still complete the bankruptcy even though when I found out the full amount of money that I was gonna get back would’ve made bankruptcy unobtainable so I put $1000 down to the full amount that I was supposed to pay him to the file for the bankruptcy but since we never come went through with the bankruptcy he never gave me my money back I never got the thousand dollars back refunded to me he kept that And when I decided to cancel the bankruptcy he took forever to get back with me and then disputed the charges that we had I never got my money back and he was very unprofessional so I would never hire this lawyer for bankruptcy or any other legal matter Oh and by the way I asked him to send me receipts or invoices of the work that he supposedly did and he said that he would and he never did so I never got any kind of confirmation that he did any filings or anything for me so the guy is not it honest
