My family and I have written and updated our trust more than a few times while moving around the country. Brooke helped us with our latest "rewrite" here in AZ. Brooke was by far the most professional and thorough of any of our past attorneys. I will recommend her to our family, friends and colleagues.
My husband and I were very happy with the help Brooke provided. We had questions and concerns about the trust, but she answered them all with concise easy to understand answers. We have already recommended her to our friends.
Brooke was amazing throughout the legal process of dealing with my brother's estate, after his death. She is so sharp and on top of her profession, and always had an answer to my questions that made sense. Very practical, efficient and patient. And she worked hard to keep our costs down. She was sensitive to the situation but understood what was needed to be done, and handled it efficiently. And she was personable and thoughtful in our dialogue. I told her she must have done well in law school.
Brooke and her staff are personable, professional and efficient. Brooke is very knowledgeable and experienced in her areas of practice, providing not only the services and documents requested but also adding valuable advice and direction along the way. We would not hesitate to recommend her to a family member, close friend or anyone looking to retain the services of an excellent estate planning attorney.
Brooke is an excellent estate planning attorney. She rewrote our trust into a more personalized and concise document. Brooke is very knowledgeable and professional. She listened to our desires, while giving us excellent suggestions and answers to our questions. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Brooke established a confident client / attorney relationship, and we highly recommend her to others.
Brooke helped me update my trust. She explained every single thing she did, was very friendly and made me feel free to ask questions or call when I needed information. The staff is very knowledgable and I always felt like they knew who I was and how to solve whatever issue I might have. All appointments were kept on time and communication was prompt if I had a question. This is a very friendly office and professional at the same time.
Brooke helped me over the past 2 years regarding a jointly owned property. She is pleasant, knowledgeable and offers wise counsel & various options. If something arose that she was not familiar with, she did research & checked with others who could provide those answers. She was as prompt as she could possibly be with answers/counsel. She also gave attention to my matter over the weekends. I am truly thankful her help. She has proven to be extremely valuable. Thanks Brooke!
Brooke is a top rate lawyer! She has graciously helped our family with planning and managing of a family trust. She has the ability to explain everything clearly and she is always very responsive. She helped us with Last Will & Testament, Health Care Power of Attorney, Finical Power of Attorney and Living Wills for our aging Mother and our immediate family. Her rates are very reasonable and she is a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a competent lawyer!!
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
