The Brooke Law Group, PC - Monrovia, CA

Very helpful and professional and at a good price. The team there was really good at what they do.

Very disappointing experience with Brooke Law group, we went in with all the facts and truth on what what happening to my parents trust with my sister being the one in control. Yes, Mr. Brookes exact words to my other siblings were: If she tries to keep any additional monies that she is aloud after the property sold, come and see me. So many issues were out of content from the get go, yes Mr Brooke was very aggressive to the other parties attorney demanding answers to which never were presented by the other side; the excuses were that my sisters attorney was very ill and that was the reason for the delays. after trying and trying and waiting, one day Mr Brooke calls me in just to tell me to forget the case and at the same time, taking our money from us for doing nothing. we were led on, thinking we had a case against my sister for her wrong doings and her crooked attorney. Mr Brooke should be ashamed of himself for his actions, I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. Technically I would have given him zero stars, another waste of time and money for nothing.

Unfortunately, Darrell deserves a ranking of zero stars but I have to leave one star in order to write this review. Please stay away from this attorney. He is inept and does not take responsibility for his errors. My entire family went to him for a probate case and he seemed very amiable at our first meeting, since he was trying to make a good impression. At our first meeting, I did observe that he spoke in circles and never clearly answered questions. I was not the executor, my brother was, and so he chose Darrell as the probate attorney to our detriment. I really can not write everything that went wrong with the case due directly to Darrell's actions because then I would be forced to write a novel. One huge flaw is that Darrell does not like to be questioned and takes things very personally. I and other siblings (non-executors) had sincere questions but he dismissed them each one by one and took each question as an insult to him personally. This showed lack of character and confidence in his abilities. Darrel was definitely not professional and did not take accountability for his actions or errors. Please steer away from him, he will cause you grief and frustration! I am not sure what law school he graduated from but his bed side manner is atrocious! Because I was not an executor, his mantra was, "Go find an attorney to represent you because I represent the executor(s)." Talk about not being represented by an attorney you thought was the attorney for all the beneficiaries. His main objective is to make sure he gets paid and charges a ridiculous amount of "Extraordinary Fees." I would hate for any other family to undergo the anguish we had to endure for almost two years. It was a trying time because we lost our mother and then had to undergo such a horrible experience perpetrated by Darrell. I am certain there are professional, knowledgeable, and earnest attorneys in the area but Darrell is not one of them. Please heed my experience and do not knock on Darrell's legal door.
