"I probated a high complex, completely illiquid, multi-million dollar estate with complex transactional, support and tax issues in Oregon and in an out of state ancillary proceeding. I needed an experienced probate attorney for advice on analyzing and resolving issues that were not clearly addressed in the case law. One of my partners recommended Chris Brooks to me for this role. I interviewed Chris and worked with him. I found Chris extremely knowledgeable and excellent to work with. Chris is very smart and efficient and exercises sound judgment. I highly recommend Chris for all aspects of wills, estates, trust and probate work."

"Christopher is the first attorney that I recommend whenever a client needs help with a will, a trust, or any other aspect of estate planning. I refer all of my estate planning work to Christopher because I know he will take care of my clients and that he will do so for a reasonable fee. I have known Chris for about four years now, and I think that his prior experience as a litigator gives him special insight and perspective into his clients' estate planning needs and how best to avoid costly probate challenges. Chris is smart, ethical, conscientious, and highly motivated to succeed. He has high professional standards, a great sense of humor, and doesn't take himself seriously. I endorse him without hesitation."
