    Great attorney; great guy. Really goes out of his way to help. And Michael is what I call "super smart." He's multiple steps ahead.

    I attended and completed a zoom call moments ago with Eileen Maastricht /Maastricht Law Offices…read morewhich covered many topics, will, probate, revocable living trust, contrast of both, ladybird, DPOA. It was comprehensive and she made it easy to understand. She sent a very detailed attachment that helped in following her, and she provided space for me to jot notes and/or questions. I've been on many of these and have another 3 scheduled. I was extremely impressed with her presentation and more importantly the scope of the topic and her thorough knowledge that she shared with us. This is important to understand and more importantly, getting the proper guidance. She was able to answer questions with a detailed response. Of all the ones I have attended, this is by far the BEST presentation, easy to understand and I when it was over I dropped the zoom and immediately called to set up an appointment. I am looking forward to my appointment where I can discuss my unique situation and I feel confidant that she will be the one I hire.

He was in Haiti and suffered a massive stroke and by the time we made it to Florida he was deemed physically incapacitated. With no guidance or experience with dealing with this sort of situation, she came through! Her knowledge and Professionalism with respect to Elder care and Probate laws helped us immensely in attaining his Medicaid approval. I am so happy we were able to retained her services.

    Scott Brook was the absolute worst person to trust in and completely screwed up my case,…read moreovercharged, and accused me of threats when I tried to simply speak with him about the fees and why they were so high.

    Mr Brooks was hired for a 3rd party custody case. This case was extremely complex. After paying his…read more295.00 consultation fee, which by the way, he stopped the zoom meeting to make sure payment went through, I informed him how complex the case was. The red flags went off when he did not know the law in how long a child holds Jurisdiction in a state. I actually had to educate him, he later confirmed I was correct. That should have been a red flag for me. Once I explained the case, he stated during his paid consultation, that he knew exactly where to go with the case. We would start with emergency petition for temporary custody for the child. The child is my nephew who I have cared for, and raised for over 2 years ( deadbeat parent case). So I paid Mr. Brooks his 5,000 retainer, he also asked for another 1000 just for court cost. Prior to him starting the petition, I sent Mr. brooks a highly detailed email. I sent him evidence, therapy letters, report cards, and a timeline. I am a very through person. I received a petition a few days after our initial conversation. After reading the petition, I thought it was written by a high schooler. I had to not only edit, but correct everything on the petition. I spent hours collecting all the data needed to put together a strong petition. Making Mr Brooks job very easy. I informed Mr. Brooks of my disappointment in the level of incompetence in the petition that was orchestrated. I could not believe that would come form a paralegal. It was clear, Mr. Brooks did not review the petition prior to allowing his paralegal to send it to me. After I emailed him my great disappointment, he agreed with me. Mr. Brooks stated there would be no charge for that petition and he apologized. Fine, I gave him another shot. He then reassigned the petition to another paralegal in the office. Ericka, who was amazing, and sadly no longer with the firm; within 2 hours wrote a wonderful written, to the point petition with very minor issues. She was on top of it. After I approved the petition, I told Mr. Brooks, it sounds good, but I am not a lawyer and now everything is in your hands. 2 days later Mr. Brooks called me and said " well the judge denied the petition" ( crickets). I responded with frustrations once he had no further answers or steps to move forward. " Ok so what is next"? He said 'I guess we have to wait for the hearing in 2 months". Mind you, my nephews deadbeat parents decided to call kidnapping charges on me and law enforcement after giving me a POA to take care of their child for two years. This child sustained neglect and abuse from them, I was NOT going to let them come and take him. So I had to push Mr, Brooks into giving me the next step. Scott like to act like he is Mr. Calm, cool, and collective by telling you " I'll talk to you tomorrow" when you, as a client are looking for answers. He talks to you like a child, when you are his client paying him thousands of dollars. My husband and I are very concern for this little boy, and we are giving all we have to keep him safe. I lost sleep many nights thanks to Mr. Brooks. My attorney should be fighting for me, I felt as if I was fighting my family and Mr. Brooks. After 1 petition, and his bright idea to amend the petition and resubmit it again to the judge, we receive his bill. For the 2nd time his bill was way over. We spent almost 1800 on an amended petition, which only added 3 more paragraphs to the petition filed initially which cost us 2700.00. He charged me 30.00 for a text messages and 2 sentence emails, he charged me for doing research and it took him 2 weeks to file an EMERGENCY petition AFTER I EDIT IT FOR HOURS. He triple charged me for many items and when I confronted him, he withdrew my case! In the consultation he expressed "my daughters are not mine by blood, but they are mine, so I know exactly how you feel", he comes off like a sincere person, but he isn't, he is a politician. DO NOT HIRE!!!
