Hired Attorney 2017-2025I have used Brooke for both of my parent's Trusts. I started working with her in 2017 when my father died. He had been using her firm for years, and Brooke was his attorney. Because it was a Trust, I could work with Brooke even though my parents both lived in Florida and I, as trustee, lived in Maryland. She was beyond helpful explaining the steps, how to communicate to beneficiaries, the law and other particulars to the Trusts. When my Mom passed away late last year Brooke was there for our family again. She is trustworthy. She is easy to reach. And she never shrugged off a concern or issue. If I had used an attorney in either Maryland or Florida, the hourly rate would have been easily twice as much.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
