Brooke A. Usher

Ethical, honest, dedicated, honorable and Christ-follower are just a few of the words that describe Brooke Usher. Brooke was recommended to me by a trusted friend. His trust was well founded. When I first came to see Brooke, I was trying to decide whether to file for a divorce from my husband of over thirty years. It was in a very bad marriage but the thought of ending it scared me so much. She listened to me and told me she would be there for me if I decided to file. A few weeks later my ex filed for divorce so that decision was made for me. I immediately hired Brooke and she began fighting for me like no one else ever had. I had been beaten down by so much verbal and mental abuse over decades that I could barely speak up for myself. Brooke was a strong voice for me until slowly over the twelve months that followed I learned to speak up for myself. I always knew that she had my back and that every action she took was for my benefit. She is a very smart woman and none of the tricks my ex or his lawyer tried to pull over the next 10 months fooled her. When I would be panicking when lies were being presented as facts, she kept me grounded. She would point out that not only were the lies obvious but my true source of truth and strength was Jesus. She was right. When the time came for mediation she was a power house! She didn’t stop fighting until I had the alimony that was due me and the wording of the document covered me for every possibility. Even making sure that it was stated that my ex had to carry enough life insurance so if he died before the eight years were up, I would still get the full amount of alimony due me! I never even knew that was something you could do. Although all her actions showed me that she always had my best interest at heart, there was one thing that showed, me once again, that her dedication to my divorce was the most important thing. I had, along with the divorce, a litigation suit that I was not sure I was going to pursue. But about six months into the divorce proceedings I felt I could handle a legal suit against a church and the minister that were at the heart of my ex-husband’s grounds for divorce. When I told Brooke that I would like to act against the church and minister for the grievous harm they had done to me, she immediately said that was not her area of legal expertise and brought in another lawyer who would work with her. She did this not only because she knew it was better for me but so she could continue to devote herself to representing me to the best of her abilities in my divorce. That above all, she wanted me to come through the divorce with the best possible outcome, showed her integrity once again. She wasn’t more interested in any possible monetary gain for her than she was in making sure I had the best representation in the litigation. And she wanted to keep her focus on my divorce. She is a strong Christian woman and I will always be grateful to her. Brooke wasn’t just my advocate. She became my friend. She spoke for me when I couldn’t, encouraged me to do hard things because she knew I would be glad once I had (she was right!), and was always available to me. She is a true blessing.

Let me start by saying Brooke has been the most dependable, responsive, fight for your case attorney I have hired and I have been through a few since 2005. First, I am an out of state client that was allowed to relocate but needed to go back to court. I contacted her and was immediately transferred since I just received notice of a hearing to take place a few days later. She explained all my options from the beginning and let me know what she felt would be the best route to handle my case and she went for it. If anything new came up or she needed more information, she was quick to send an email or tell me she needed to speak to me directly and we would set up a time to talk. From the time of filing to the actual hearing I did not feel like I was a forgotten client which I have felt like from other attorneys. Know that when you hire Brooke, she will analyze your case as your attorney, tell you the truth and look at your case from the other perspective (judge, other attorney, etc) . She ALWAYS looks at what is best for your child and will have you ready for court when going before a judge.

Brook is a great, very professional attorney. She helped me with the custody/child support payments and I'm very pleased with the outcome. I'm grateful to her for all the hard work and I highly recommend her to anyone.

As a licensed therapist, I sometimes need to refer my clients to an expert in family law. Brooke is my go-to referral. She is knowledgable, available, and well-respected in the legal community. I've found that unresponsive attorneys who drag the divorce process on and on for months are a major source of stress to my own clients. Brooke responds to her clients in a very timely manner and does her best to close cases efficiently, while advocating for the best possible outcome for her clients. Everyone I've referred to Brooke has been very pleased.

Brooke is an excellent attorney. From the moment I met her I knew I was in good hands. Brooke always took my calls and would explain everything to me. Not just telling me what I wanted to hear but the truth. If you want an honest attorney, hire Brooke!

Brooke Usher is a very hard working and compassionate attorney. I highly recommend her as she guided me through a very difficult divorce . She payed great attention to every detai, and was very professional.

Brooke Usher is an outstanding lawyer. I hired her in a custody case, which she proactively led. Throughout the case I gained valuable knowledge about family law in Tennessee and in general. Brooke is widely connected with mediators and was very supportive in pursuing an out-of-court agreement, which we reached within the desired timeframe. What outlines her competence is her skill to balance her partiality with a reasonable sense of fairness. She is able to kindly bring perspective into subjects of emotional escalation, without compromising her professionality. I remain a grateful client of hers.

She met my needs. Gave me options and was a fair price for my case. She kept in touch with everything that was going on through it all. I was able to win my case and my son and myself are forever greatful for her professionalism.

after several lawyers Robin finally got be to the right person that knew what they were doing and got the job done... Thanks Brook I really appreciate everything you did in such a short time.

As an out of state client I was impressd with how she took ownership of my support case.With her experiance and knowledg of these cases she gave me the best outcome. She stayed in contact and informed me of everything as it happened. I would greatly recomend her to anyone.

I hired Brooke Usher for a custody case. As a father I knew it would not be an easy task but she made it seem like it was. She was aggressive in legal issues and sincere in her desire to help. Communication was always good and explanations were clear. I was always advised in a manner that not only lead to winning custody, but she obviously was trying to do it in a way that did not cost me more then necessary. I have recommended Brook Usher to friends and will continue to.

From the day I stepped into her office I felt like she truly wanted to help me get the best care as I can. She always stayed in contact with me and I actually felt at ease. Thank you for your support to me and my child during the challenging time in our lives. I will always recommend anyone to her that was in my shoes.

Brooke was helpful in putting into perspective my options. I feel she did not truly represent me in court as the Child Support attorney did most of the talking on my behalf. In terms of my final settlement, I am still a little unclear as to my options. I'm thinking perhaps Brooke could have been more detailed in explanation. However, I am glad I was represented and feel Brooke was in my best interests.
