Brook Gwendolyn Meakins

As an attorney myself, I know what it looks like to see an attorney advocate effectively. Brook exemplifies what it means to be an advocate. Throughout my entire divorce process, Brook frequently checked in with me via email or phone. She worked diligently to write emails, submit letters, and file re...quests on my behalf. And perhaps most importantly, she expressed understanding, guidance, and encouragement along the way while also being honest and clear about potential risks and difficulties. Even after the divorce proceedings concluded, Brook took the time to check back in to make sure I was comfortable with how the case was resolved and to inquire if there was anything else she could do. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Brook and her team did an incredible job of helping me navigate the divorce process quickly ( a judgement before the 6 month period had passed), efficiently, and with the results that I wanted. I was impressed from start to finish on how my case was handled. At every step of the way, I felt that Broo...k, David and the rest of the staff were knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive in one of the hardest periods of my life. I was recommended to Brook by my sister (also an attorney) who knew her work first hand from environmental law cases they'd collaborated on and from law school. I had been trying to manage the divorce process myself and was frustrated and overwhelmed. My sister spoke so highly of Brook as both an attorney and a person. I am so grateful I took her advice and went in for a consultation. Divorce is a highly unpleasant, stressful experience. But, if you find yourself in this position, you want someone like Brook right behind you. I felt like I had the perfect advocate for my situation. I can't recommend Brook and Meakins Law enough.

Like unicorns I did not think an honest lawyer that cared existed. She was able to negotiate an $8000 settlement from the insurance company That was giving excuses on why they would not settle, that went on for five months. At that point I figured I had nothing to lose because I wasn't going to get ...a dime from the insurance company. after hiring her I was able to put more money in my pocket than I originally thought the whole case was worth.

Words cannot express the pleasure I had to work with Brook. I was thoroughly impressed with her work. She kept billable time low while doing all the necessary things to be effective. She also kept me informed during all phases of the work. First, I was a little bit skeptical because I knew attorn...eys bill for their time. However, I was very surprised that my total bill was less than what she originally quoted! Brook definitely exceeded my expectations! She's an A+! Thanks Brook!

Brook handled a case from me-long distance. There was NO problem with the fact that I am in San Diego and she's in San Francisco. If you believe that there are no lawyers left who actually care, well I encourage you to rethink that position. Brook was understanding, extremely timely in returni...ng my phone calls and emails, professional and knowledgeable; not to mention her pricing is particularly reasonable. When it came time for her to present to the judge, she was on it! I won my case and I realize it may seem like an exaggeration, but I assure you it's not-I truly believe I wouldn't have won without her. When in doubt, call Brook!
