Review Brenda Brooks

Evicted non paying renters

Posted by TeresaSat Oct 28 2017

Ms. Brooks helped me with evicting non paying tenants. She was very knowledgeable about the steps to be taken. Happily, she was also very responsive to my calls and emails. It was a great relief to have her guidance.

Competent and Considerate

Posted by JudyThu May 11 2017

Brenda Brooks represented me in my Chapter 13 case. After hiring her, I ran into one financial difficulty after another including major medical bills after suffering a stroke. Through all my issues, Brenda and her paralegal, Ed, were always professional, courteous, and competent. They no doubt spent many hours helping me find the best solution to my situation, and I was always treated with the utmost respect and consideration. I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone facing bankruptcy.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. I have known Brenda for many years. She is absolutely one of the best bankruptcy attorneys around and is more knowledgeable than most!

Cynthia Lawson, Chapter 13 bankruptcy Attorney on Feb 9, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I have known Brenda Brooks professionally for over 10 years. She is a very intelligent, ethical and experienced attorney. Brenda is very knowledgeable in all areas of consumer bankruptcy laws as well as business bankruptcy. I do not hesitate to recommend Brenda to potential clients who need to file bankruptcy, particularly chapter 11. The clients who retain Brenda to represent them have an outstanding attorney on their side to help them through their legal issues and concerns.

Jere Ownby, Family Attorney on Oct 28, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Well, yeah, of course, I endorse Brenda Brooks. She's competent, experienced,knowledgeable, and organized. Brenda is well respected in the legal community and by the Judges. If my own mother had a Bankruptcy issue, I would send her to Brenda Brooks. Anybody represented by Brenda Brooks is well-represented.
