"She made a real effort also to try to keep chaos and contention to a minimum with the help of the collaborative divorce team and her own skill at communicating respectfully to all involved."

Brooks was exceptional in all areas. She was calm, knowledgeable, professional and kind. She took an extra effort to try to keep costs down during the entire divorce process for both me and my ex-spouse. She made a real effort also to try to keep chaos and contention to a minimum with the help of the collaborative divorce team and her own skill at communicating respectfully to all involved. (this also cut costs for everyone since it continued to keep at bay extra lawyer meetings due to contentious goings on). I would recommend her without reservation as an excellent collaborative divorce attorney. She was my lifeline during the worst year of my life and brought me out the other end thriving.

"She knows her stuff! She worked very hard to help me meet a tight filing deadline, which kept the costs down."

I highly recommend Brooks as a divorce lawyer. She was the perfect balance of professional and personal. During our consultation, she listened carefully to my specific concerns and goals and provided legal suggestions and guidance about the process. She connected me with great neutral professionals to help with asset division and development of a parenting plan. Throughout the process, she was responsive and very thorough. She knows her stuff! She worked very hard to help me meet a tight filing deadline, which kept the costs down. She always kept conversations centered around the best interests of the kids, which made for a very successful process. Thank you, Brooks!

"Brooks was so attentive and understanding of my situation."

Brooks was so attentive and understanding of my situation. She was knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions I might have. Divorce can be very scary to get through but I felt confident that Brooks was guiding me in all the right directions. I was much better off for having hired her.

"I found that Brooks personal experiences and her years of working with others have given her an incredible ability to relate in a genuine and thoughtful way. I am truly grateful for her support, patience and understanding."

Brooks was amazing in guiding me thru the collaborative divorce process. She was reassuring when I doubted my own resolve and yet she was honest when conveying what would be a fair and reasonable outcome for both parties. She was encouraging when she knew I needed to step up and yet she also knew when she needed to step in. I found that Brooks personal experiences and her years of working with others have given her an incredible ability to relate in a genuine and thoughtful way. I am truly grateful for her support, patience and understanding as I worked thru one of the most challenging times for myself and my family. I am happy with the outcome of the divorce. I highly recommend her as a collaborative divorce attorney and more importantly as a counsel who guides her clients thru what, at times can be, a trying and emotional journey.

"Brooks advocates very persuasively and convincingly the use of a collaborative process in addressing the needs and wants of all parties concerned in a separation and divorce."

Brooks' philosophy in people separating from each other is to go through the process in a civil and amicable manner without the use of adversarial legal professionals. Brooks advocates very persuasively and convincingly the use of a collaborative process in addressing the needs and wants of all parties concerned in a separation and divorce.

Her approach to dealing with the practicalities of “life” while someone is going through such a vulnerable and traumatic phase in life is at once sensitive, tactful, and pragmatic. It gives me the greatest of pleasure in endorsing Brooks as a collaborative divorce attorney.
