Worst attorney ever

BEWARE......She did absolutely nothing to represent me and gave me no guidance on options I had especially to protect myself from being the victim I was during my divorce she absolutely destroyed my future I would've done so much better representing myself

Super lawyer!

I hired Brooke for a highly complex divorce/custody case involving removal of children from the state, and other uncertainties. Brooke ended up winning the case and getting me full-custody with me being a single father. Throughout the case, Brooke showed an excellent ability to use legal remedies eff...ectively and strategically. Brooke also displayed superior communication and negotiation skills when communicating with the opposing party's counsel, the court, or any other parties involved. Brooke showed high level of client dedication by promptly responding to my inquiries or sharing information regarding important and time sensitive issues including on evenings and weekends. Overall, Brooke went above and beyond and won a case that I would describe as very difficult and highly complex by all standards. I would highly recommend Brooke for any family law related issues but especially for complex cases. Thank you!

Absolutely GREAT!!

I would 100% Recommend Brooke Bernhardt at Winkler-York Law office! If you are tired of playing games and want an attorney that will go in fighting and not stop until you see results then she is the one! When my husbands ex wife decided to take away visitation on her own we were tired of playing g...ames and i went online and searched for aggressive attorneys and York Winkler Law Firm popped up, I called the office and Brooke took our case she has kept us in the loop the whole time, she returns phone calls and emails and she will not stop until she helps you! I am happy to say that my husband has his visitation back now and we could not be happier! Brooke is wonderful!

Excellent service spectacular lawer and woman!

From the start I have loved Brooke and her firm Winkler and Winkler. Brooke is compassionate, hardworking, dedicated etc.. I couldnt be more happy with the service she has provided for custody of my child. I couldnt thank her enough for all we have went through in these 2 years and her sticking by my... side.

She Saved Me!

She is honestly amazing, I was at a lost of hope and really thought that I had no chance of getting what I desperately needed out of my custody case but I went to her last minute and she was able to within a second jump on my case and put her best effort in to help me! She actually won the case for m...e and was able to help me fight for my son! I could never be more grateful for this women and if you are thinking about hiring her DO IT she is worth every penny and will be right there for you whenever you need her!!! Don’t hesitate or look for another lawyer because she’s the one you want!
