A very fine and trustworthy person.

I had a case recently with Mr. East. He was very professional. He was good about making you understand the case. I would recommend him to anyone.

No tactics

I hired Brock East for a contractor dispute where I was clearly wronged. During the initial consultation, he called the case a “slam dunk,” which gave me confidence to move forward and pay the upfront retainer. That confidence didn’t last. Once the case began, it dragged on for weeks with document... requests and a deposition that drove up legal fees. At court, there was little progress, and communication with the opposing lawyer seemed ineffective. What stood out most was how he handled the other attorney’s strategy. He kept saying the other lawyer was “not playing fair,” even though everything appeared to be within legal boundaries. Instead of adapting, it felt like he couldn’t accept being outmaneuvered. When I raised concerns about costs and direction, he became confrontational—raising his voice and telling me no one else would help me, or that he could walk away. In the end, I had to push to drop the case because continuing would have cost more than I could recover. The only person who benefited was Brock East, who walked away with about $5,000, while my case remained unresolved. I would not recommend him for anything beyond very simple matters.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Having worked on cases in the past with Brock as opposing counsel, I knew he was an excellent lawyer. I referred a family member to him for a DUI and he was able to work out a great deal in the matter. I was very impressed with the result."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
