This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Jonathan knows alot more than we do as normal people.

Jonathan we brilliant in the court room without a doubt. As far as my case he kept me informed and filed all documents on time and had ideas I would have never thought about. Very professional and attentive at all times during the case. All and all I came out better than I ever expected to. My ex was... a monster throughout the whole case. I was thinking the worst and Jonathan would email me or call me and keep me calm all the way through. With this being said I would hire or refer him in a heartbeat to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

Excellent

Mr.Brooks was great with my case. He was organized, flexible and understanding. He responded to my calls and emails in a timely manner. I couldn't ask for anyone better.

Men This is Your Lawyer

I would classify my divorce as really messy. But it didn't start that way. My ex wife and I entered into a decree together by agreeing to what anyone would deem as a good deal for both of us and then within a few months she wanted more, like a lot more. She wanted my pension, more alimony, more child... support (which I already was deviating UP) and that is just to name a few. Basically she wanted to have a "take me to the cleaners party' So without knowing anything about him I hired Jonathan Brooks. I was worried because I had actually gone above and beyond to take care of my ex even though two of our daughters were living with me. And had I lost the case it would have really hampered my ability to live. What worried me the most is that I kept great records and I needed a lawyer who could understand exactly what I was saying --- No I didn't hide any money and here is my proof. No she agreed to not take the pension and here is the proof. No her claim of not knowing anything about the finances is wrong and here is why. Yes she had access to all the finances despite her sayings she didn't and here is the proof. Yes she is lying about this and this and this and here is the proof. There was a lot for my attorney to learn and I mean a lot. But he was thorough with his notes and that is what I needed. Someone who could make the judge understand what I knew. I had three priorities 1) keep the alimony the same 2) keep my pension 3) keep the financial arrangement the same. Due to Jonathan's hard work the judge denied my ex wife's motion for a new trial and I won my case. We went to mediation on a few minor issues and I was totally happy with the result of those. In a nutshell I thought I won in a landslide. My lawyer was just better than her lawyer. I would be willing to speak with any of you if you have a question and I am sure Jonathan knows who I am so if anyone asks for a reference from this post and goes through Jonathan i would be more than willing to give you more information but because of what I do for a living I am going to keep this post anonymous. But to close I was completely satisfied with the results I had using Jonathan Brooks and you would be wise to consider him for your divorce.

Highly Recommend

Jonathan Brooks was my attorney for my divorce case and a subsequent child custody case. I found his integrity, professionalism and expertise to be exceptional. Also, he has been decisive in helping me successfully resolve all the issues associated with my cases. I was more than satisifed with the o...utcome of both cases. He always returned my calls or emails whenever I had a question or concern. I will continue to rely on Jonathan as a key resource and I have recommended him without reservation.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
