Excellent lawyer and remarkable human being.

I worked with Emily for several years and she always took such good care of me. She is a rare combination of brains and heart.

SUPER LAWYER

If you're reading this, you are looking for a attorney. Such an endeavor is very stressful and you're likely in an extremely emotional state of mind. First, let me point out that even though lawyers take a oath, most are very crooked and just out for money. Once the money runs dry, their services d...o too. You are in need of someone that is honest and has your best interest at heart, willing to see things through to the end, not just throw in the towel when things get complicated. You are in need of someone that is knowledgeable, understanding, and dedicated. I can tell you that Emily Brooks meets these things, and they are very, very hard to find in today's society. I hired Emily in 2015 with a real estate issue where the other side had millions of dollars to spend on attorneys and corruption, and I have an extremely limited income. I had first used Northwest Justice Project (NWJ), but when they found out how complicated the case was due to the unethical conduct of the other side, they suggested I hire an attorney with more resources that can devote more time and energy to the case. Emily was fresh out of school and just opened her own office. Even considering how inexperienced she was, she regularly went up against attorneys with 30+ years of experience and had an impressive track record. As a matter of fact, she had to deal with over 4 of them all having over 30+ years experience in real estate law for our case alone! The other side kept filing frivolous motions, appeals, and any other delaying tactics throughout the entire 4-year battle (starting with NWJ), despite strong verbiage from judges on how fruitless such actions would be. Emily fought tirelessly and stayed focused on our case, always saying this was about justice and making things right. Because of our income, we only could afford to have Emily write us some letters initially, but when she saw the injustice, she fought the entire case at trial with minimal further financing from us. A lot of the work was also done by her paralegal, Jonathan, who also was despised at the unethical behavior of the other side, and took a considerable amount of time out of his own personal life to help fight this case. In the end, Emily won our case! Actually, she won on three separate occasions on three different angles the other side kept trying to pursue before the other side took things to an appeals court. Unfortunately, we did not retain Emily for the appeals case because we were not sure what to expect, but our appeals attorney (who also had 30+ years of experience) was able to keep the case from trial purely because of the excellent documentation and work Emily had done. Let me also point out that the appeals attorney didn't seem nearly as efficient or knowledgeable as Emily. We are so thankful for Emily for all she did for us and highly recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

The perfect person to have in our corner

My wife and I rented a house in Ellensburg WA. for a year. Prior to leaving we made sure the house was spotless and looked better then when we arrived. After moving we found out the landlord, who was use to renting to college kids, tried to keep our deposit stating the house was not properly cleaned ...and had reported damage that we did not do. We really didn't care about the money so much but hated the idea of this person taking advantage of people who couldn't do anything about it. After a quick call to Gonzaga University's law department, I was referred to Emily Brooks from Brooks Plumb Law Firm. Within no time, and after sending off a well crafted letter to the landlord, she got us a 100% refund and compensation to pay legal fees. We were out nothing and the landlord learned an important lesson. Emily showed why she is in the profession she is in. We highly recommend her and very much thank her for the support she provided to our family.
