Reputable Counselor

A friend referred me because Mr. Grainger used an extreme amount of discretion regarding her privacy. I was impressed how true the statement is. He is professional and intelligent, never losing focus of my personal needs to provide for my children. I would recommend him to anyone and have already t...wice.

Bankruptcy and debt lawyer | Feb 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Brooks occasionally has been across the table from me representing creditors when I represent debtors. However, he does understand the situation from a debtor's point of view because he represents them too. That perspective helps when we are both trying to represent our clients to the fullest. At the end of the day, it isn't about how much you get, it's about reaching an agreement that is mutually beneficial to both sides. Brooks really does care about this clients and is a pleasure to work with. He has a passion for the law and is quite the expert on Indiana law in the areas that he practices. I know that if I have a question, I can turn to him for a good answer. I strongly recommend Brooks to anyone seeking the services of a good attorney."

Debt collection lawyer | Jan 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known and worked closely with Brooks since his entry into the private practice. I attended law school with Brooks and found him to have an unique ability to determine the core heart of an issue and to truly understand the law, something few people can do. Since entering private practice, I have had countless occasions to call on him for advice on areas of creditor's rights, or simply as a sanity check for a particularly complicated legal issue. His skills are truly outstanding. However, his commitment to honor and ethics that set him apart."
