Mrs, Barnes is someone you can trust to represent you to her fullest potential, she genuinely cares for her clients and doesn’t intimidate easily, she’s firm and confident in her profession. After personally consulting with several attorney’s, Mrs, Barnes won my trust within minutes to represent me in my case. I instantly felt how devoted Mrs, Barnes and her team is to family legal rights! Without hesitating I retained her immediately, and within two weeks my case was closed! All cases are different however I recommend you get a consultation and see if she can be a blessing like she was in my case. Thank you Brook Barnes and her team for bringing my daughter back!!!
Brooke was born and raised in Central Washington. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter as well as their two dogs. One of her favorite activities is going to breweries where she can sit outside and listen to music while laughing with her husband and friends.

I found my attorney!!
Brooke did a great job as my attorney! She took the time to understand the complex details of my court case where the evidence spanned over 6 years. I commented to several of my friends that Stephanie was quick and responsive with all my inquiries. Brooke asked detailed questions and took notes to ensure accuracy. In court, she demonstrated knowledge of the law and court proceedings. I felt confident and in good hands during court. Through her professionalism and expertise, she successfully had my case dismissed. I highly recommend Yakima Law.

Defense Attorney you want!
Brooke Barnes and her paralegal Stephanie Santana were absolutely on top of everything. This being our first time seeking councel was a little nerve racking for us. Having to take legal action was not our first choice, Brooke made sure our voices were heard, that our child's voice was heard. Being very supporting and taking action for us when we needed it most. Thank you Yakima Law for helping my family through a difficult time in our lives. Brooke and her team will fight for you. Highly recommend her and her team!

Go-to Defense Lawyer
Some legal trouble from my past came back to haunt me so I contacted Brooke Barnes for help. She jumped on the case and got all necessary documents from the prosecutors, and arranged a fair shake. She reminded me weekly of my obligations to the court, and helped expedite the case by working again with the prosecutors office.
Overall, it seemed like Brooke was on my team the whole time - not just representing me in a world I don’t understand.
If you’re looking for a lawyer, look no further.

Compasionate & knowledgeable
I reached out to Ashby Law recommended by a family member and am thankful I did! Excellent attorneys who take their time to listen to client's concerns and help get out of sticky situations. Nina and the all the staff provide excellent customer service - very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! I'd recommend Ashy Law to anyone.

Razor Sharp Assessment Fierce Advocate
Ms Brooke was truly impressive in the courtroom. She is one of the most excellent litigators I have ever encountered. Ms Brooke's personal presence during arguments and negotiations is invaluable. Right from the initial consultation Ms Brooke was forthright about the legal options under the circumstances. Ms Brooke went out of her way to try to negotiate a reasonable and beneficial goal for my children and I outside of court. We ended up in court because of the other parties' aggressive and abusive stance. I was nervous and heartbroken by the time we got in the courtroom. It quickly became clear that Ms Brooke was an experienced and skillful litigator. The questioning during testimony of parties was no nonsense, objections were timely and rarely denied. It would have been a better outcome if we had been able to negotiate a settlement, but that had a lot to do with the opposing parties agenda, rather than Ms Brooke's considerable effort to negotiate. Ms Brooke was so successful representing my family in the courtroom I am optimistic that this matter is finished. If the opposing party continues to cause problems, I will absolutely rely on Ms Brooke's advice and representation.

Brooke really cares
Brooke really takes the time to get to know her clients and listen to their concerns. She is easy to talk to and really breaks everything down so it's understandable and less daunting. She's a positive person who radiates confidence and isn't afraid to go the extra mile for her clients and put the hard work and hours into a case. I definitely recommend her services to anyone needing assistance in family law.

The Attorney You Need
Brooke was hands down amazing. From the moment I selected her to be my attorney she was all in. Brooke is extremely knowledgeable and will do everything possible to get you the result you are looking for. I would never choose another attorney other than Ms. Barnes. If you are looking for an attorney who will listen, educate, and fight for you, then Brooke is who you want in your corner.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney
I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Barnes for the past year and a half and have watched her become a wonderful attorney. She is passionate about criminal defense and goes above and beyond to represent her clients. Ms. Barnes genuinely cares about her clients and their cases and that comes through in her work. I would definitely hire her to represent me if ever needed.
