Attorney Brook has been my representative in a number of on going parental and custody matters. She is nothing short of amazing to work with; displaying excellent knowledge, keen observation, strategic planning and an unwavering calm demeanor. In our case, we are met with challenging and at times unreasonably capricious opposing counsel. Attorney Brook never breaks a sweat. She was there with me every step of the way with the agility to not only handle but in most cases circumvent the erroneous issues presented. She will always advise you as to what is a worthwhile investment. Unlike other local firms, she will advise you against wasting your resources and the courts time. I truly feel that she has the most honest, upfront and realistic approach to her clients needs. I highly encourage anyone going through a divorce or ongoing parental issues to retain Attorney Brook and the Taranto Law Firm. No body on the North Shore knows the family court system and potential opposition better. When your life and your families lives depend on it accept nothing less.
