My experience with The Brooks Law firm was awesome. During the whole process, I felt like my case was the most important case they had, (Of course I know they had lots of other cases), but that's how they made me feel. I was always … More informed about the process every step of the way. They included me in the decision making and welcomed any ideas that I may have had. The staff was very professional and expressed great concern and compassion as they handled my case. If ever I need representation again, they will be first on my list. Thank you Brooks Law Firm, you are greatly appreciated.
