Margaret Brost’s reviews

Margaret seemed intelligent enough when I first hired her but as Im reading through these reviews I too found her hostile very unprofessional and always asking for more money she didn't do what she said snd often gave me her client attitude. She sppears on your side initially but in the end she works against you.

Margaret and her staff made sure to keep me well informed throughout my divorce process. It started with the introductory meeting with Margaret who listed to my situation and then provided the steps in a divorce proceeding in the state of WA. She stated what I should expect and how the state handles the process. After the initial filing from my ex, Margaret then walked what the course of action I should expect and through the next steps in the process. She made sure I was comfortable with the resolution that came from the divorce and answered any questions I might had. As the divorce laws in WA are very unfair to the fathers (from my perspective), she made sure I got what was entitled to get during this process. She made sure I understood the child support calculations (also unfair) and that I was comfortable with what came from it. Divorce was not a happy situation and no result was going to make me 100% happy, but Margaret made sure I got at least what I should have gotten and looked out after my interest throughout the process.

Margaret became my lawyer because my first lawyer treated me as “less”. I was not a priority and I felt like a revenue stream. The contrast was extreme. Margaret has a team behind her. She provides council to get you to a divorce. She has a plan and she lets you know where you are in that plan at al times. She is not afraid to let you know about the consequences you are facing. She did what she said she would when she said she would.
Having someone so professional and proactive there for you during one if the most difficult times in your life was amazing.

Margaret was very unpleasant to work with. I hired her for my divorce last year. I had posted a review 6 months prior to this because they requested me to, since her reviews were so poor. I was unaware that she never finished the job I hired her out to do at that time. I had to contact her multiple times and when I finally got ahold of her she said she would finish the job free of charge since she misunderstood. Two months later I am getting a call from her assistant saying I owe them money. The assistant would not allow me to speak with Margaret. So I wrote Margaret another email reminding her of our conversation. Her reply was unprofessional. She said that communicating with me was disruptive and not worth her time. She also said she wouldn't quibble with the amount I decided to pay her at this point, after charging a single mom of two $3000 for a simple divorce that she couldn't finish under 12 months. I would never recommend her.

Margaret Brost, and her team are simply put....THE BEST!
I have worked with several attorneys in the past, and at Brost Law: You-Are-Important....Let me explain:
When I would call and leave a message or e-mail, they returned it within 1 business day, if not the SAME day; then, if I left a message on a Friday, often I would get a call on a Saturday or even a Sunday on Margaret's free time. (This is unheard of friends!)
Margaret was always diligently working on my case, researching Case Law....(And this is a TIRESOME task),interviewing people, and the paperwork that they file for you at Brost Law; is professional and flawless.
Margaret's pure, clean, and crisp knowledge of law seems so natural to her; as I have often seen Judges and Commissioners, look to her for advice---And this was in open court folks!
THIS-IS-WHO-YOU-WANT!
The team at Brost Law are All Stars!

Then, when we were at the stage of my Family Law Court case where Margaret thought I could take care of the rest on my own, she told me so, so that I would save some money.
I NEVER felt like I was being "swept under the rug" by this attorney; but rather they held my daughter and I up like a trophy each and every day!
So, if your case is important to you....
Hire Margaret Brost.
You WON'T regret it!

I came here to review my family law lawyer options. I went with Margaret because it looked like she was the best...and I was absolutely right. Margaret was truly a guide and mentor through my legal battle. She spoke plainly about my options and my chances. She listened to my concerns and often replaced my ideas with better ideas born from her years of helping parents do what's best for their kids. I felt truly supported by her and found peace through trusting my case was in the best hands. She often called at night or on the weekends showing me she took my case as seriously as all the other cases taking up her time. My case lasted about 9 months and I got the results I wanted without every going to court. I owe that entirely to her creativity and masterful understanding of the system. Remember that if you don't choose Margaret, you may be on the other side of the table from her. That is a scary place to be.

In my consult with Margaret I found her to be extremely informative and able to explain the process and complexities of a custody case in a clear manner. She has the ability to talk to a variety of audiences that either have no knowledge of the process or have been involved in the process. She is passionate, understanding but also does not mislead you.

She is straight forward,honest and compassionate. Very thankful for this woman. Will go to bat for you quickly and responds promptly to all emails,phone calls.

Over a few weeks I had interactions with Margaret over a rental lease. She lacks ethics, compassion, and any fundamentals of humanity. Was unlawful when she felt she could get away with it. A real life Dickens Scrooge. Don't hire her if you value the general good of society.

I hired her because she seemed smart and aggressive, something that is good for a lawyer. The problem is, the attitude works against you. She overcharges, is often irritable and hostile when consulting, and a charge that could of been overlooked by my insurance company wasn't because of her clumsy handling of some paper work. When discussing this with her she lashed out, which was the last straw for me.

Don't hire this person if you want someone on your side and is fair.
