An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services.

I endorse this lawyer. Brook is one of the most diligent and intelligent attorneys I have ever been associated with. He is extremely thorough in his research and his work product and still enjoys litigation if needed. He is very polite and respectful to both lay persons and those within the profession, yet can be firm in advocating a legal position. I highly recommend Brook to all individuals seeking a lawyer within his practice areas.

Attorney Smith and I practice in some of the same areas of law. For that reason, I have had the opportunity to view a great many of his answers on Avvo. The information he provides is not only spot on in terms of the law, but helpful and informative, as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Smith to a friend or family member.
