Horrific experience... case dragged on endlessly for the sake of money. A child was suffering but our case took over a year to determine who would pay the lawyers. We trusted Mr. Brook to help a child, but he only helped HIMSELF! $140K+ Fired Scott and a new Attorney was able to help us in less than 2 weeks!

Overbills, incorrectly bills and misfiles cases. Utter disappointment all while he smiles. Previous politician and it shows.

Scott Brook appeared for me just once in a family court hearing. He was terribly unprepared and missed the deadline for filing a motion to continue the hearing. As a result I was found in contempt. I fired him and did much better from then forward.

We actually lost our case because of the unorganized and unprofessional way the Judge received the information from Scott! He then proceeded to file the appeal incorrectly! We fired Scott and hired a new Attorney! Withing two short weeks we achieved our goal! Worst decision we ever made was to hire Scott Brook!

Scott Brook is without question one of the most qualified and caring attorneys in our community. When he represented me in an extremely difficult family law matter, he was knowledgable, efficient and most important to me, accessible. His Team is superb and was always available to answer my myriad questions. When research was necessary, I never worried that the information gathered by Scott and his office was anything but the most current, completely accurate pertaining to my case. In the years since Scott Brook so successfully won my legal case, I have consulted him on many other personal and business matters. His advice and opinions have been invaluable every single time. In a word, if you are seeking excellence in an attorney, Scott Brook is your very best choice. He is a credit to his industry.

Scott Brook did not do a good job for me. He is very convincing at first when you hire him, like a politician...smooth, reassuring of how he can help you. Did not follow up on deadlines, showed up to court without files, double billed, lost notes of agreement, forgot to file final judgement, prepared for court, charged for it and then cancelled, was often unavailable and didn't return calls, passed work off to employees not qualified to do it. Could go on but you get it. Would not recommend to ANYONE!!

I wish I would have read these reviews before hiring this attorney, I could have saved myself alot of money and aggravation. He comes across, as most politicians, as charming and caring but he only cares about fees, fees, fees!! My wife had all the marital money and he did nothing to put a hold on that money so after a year, the money was gone and he withdrew as my lawyer when he realized the money was gone and my payment plan wasn't good enough for him. I will be contacting the Florida Bar re: his treatment of me....highly unethical!!

Double billed would have various people of diff positions work on same question. Not in office much. If question him gets defensive sometimes abusive. Only concerned about fees fees fees. Very disrespectful to women. Egotistic but not in way beneficial to client. Go thru bill carefully. Careful on contract. Says retainer for trial but uses thst money then hounds you for
replenishing. Total overbilling and inappropriate charges. Had unqualified clerk deemed as Legal assistant Try to handle answering various legal docs.

Scott Brook double bills, and bills his "paralegals", who he claims to have given their training at a rate much higher than their skill level. He knows every trick in the book with respect to manipulating the law. Even though he is the Mayor of Coral Springs, do not allow that fact alone to influence your decision to hire him. There are many other attorneys in Coral Springs that are honest compared to this guy. Avoid at all costs.

Bills for every little thing... left message $9.50 Checked his calendar to see if there was a hearing (there wasn't) $40.00 Logged, reviewed and receipted an objection from opposing council 28.50 regarding a referral to General Master, yet proceeded anyway and billed for preparation for the hearing including showing up at the hearing $500.00 only to be told that the hearing would NOT be held due to the objection from opposing council. Make sure you check your bill with a fine tooth comb. Fails to maintain timely practice. Prevailed at a contempt hearing in Feb and did not get the judges final order until July because he didn't even draft the order until April and the case had been closed for inactivity. Showed up at the attorney fee hearing without caselaw and then asked for additional time in order to gather it. Judge denied him. That is when I finally fired him and started over from scratch.
