I spoke with a woman about renting her property and she quoted me $250/year for my pet. Then she changed it to $50/month, non-refundable. Needless to say, I certainly did not give her my time.

"Brooke is a caring and compassionate attorney who always has her client's best interests, comfort, and understanding at heart."
"Working together with counsel across state lines can be an arduous task even for the most skilled of attorneys. Many state laws are unique to their respective jurisdictions, so when two attorneys work together across state lines, it's important to know that each is knowledgeable and educated in his or her own state's laws. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Brooke in such a matter. Brooke provided concise, thoughtful, and informative answers to questions regarding Iowa law. Her contributions reflected a strong understanding and knowledge in various areas of the law, which led to a productive resolution of the matter. Thanks, Brooke!"

I would not hesitate to recommend Brooke Trent."
