Terrible experience

I had Brooke Bernhardt as an attorney and it was the absolute worst representation (if you can call it that) she missed a court date and didn't tell me, never got in contact with me except to ask for more money. I wasted my entire retainer fee for an attorney that was more worried about her social li...fe than my case. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

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!

BEST LEGAL REPRESENTATION EVER

We would hire Brooke again and again if the need arose. Brooke handled our divorce case is the utmost professionalism and was never willing to back down to the opposing counsel / client. Brook apprised us of our legal rights, situation and represented us in the best interest of us. She is the most... amazing attorney ever.

AMAZING!!!

Brooke is absolutely AMAZING!!! My husband and I hired her not only to represent him in a nasty modification of custody battle with his ex, but also to draw our will and trust. While my husband was hesitant to reopen an old wound, he knew it needed to be down for the best interest of his child, and B...rooke was there through it all. She is caring, compassionate, personable, and a bulldog in the court room. The office is up to date with electronic communications, filing, speedy response times, and incredible pricing. Most of all though Brooke and her team truly care about their clients. During the most trying and contentious time of our lives Brooke was there for us through it all and we couldn't thank her enough. Our family will retain Brooke moving forward for all of our continued legal needs. Hire Brooke now, you won’t regret it!!!
