I am a certified family law specialist that has been licensed to practice in California State Courts since 2009. I graduated from Whittier Law School in 2009. During law school I was a member of Law Review and worked as a law clerk for the Center for Children's Rights. I was also a certified law clerk for the Department of Child Support Service in Los Angeles, Interstate Division. In 2010 I was admitted to practice in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California. I received my family law specialist certification in 2016. I have worked in the area of family law almost exclusively since the inception of my career.
I am currently a senior associate for the Burch Shepard Family Law Group, APC. I am also a member of the executive board for the Orange County Bar Association - Family Law Section.
I am also a mother of two and spend time volunteering with my children's schools when I am able. Being a mother helps me better understand the emotional needs of my clients and their children when going through a separation or divorce. I genuinely care about my client and the best interests of their children.

Mrs. Brooke Archbold is a dynamic attorney! She took my case and was involved while keeping me in the loop the entire time. She’s extremely thorough and focused when it comes to her clients. She leaves no stone unturned. Professional, kind and caring. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.

Brooke took in my case after my previous lawyer closed her practice. She focused on the best for my child and made sure I did as well. She guided me in what we could do and what we couldn’t do but ultimately the choice was mine. She was caring and supportive and genuinely wanted to help. She knew how...

Ms. Archbold took on my case and made sure that the very unclear information I had received from the other party was reviewed, clarified, and then assured me that we would be able to get a favorable result. Something that could have cost me well over $35,000 was settled for $5,000. I was very impre...
"I have had the opportunity not only to work with Brooke as a colleague but also as an opposing counsel. She is a strong advocate and works tirelessly for her client."
