I was referred to Usher Family Law PLC and after interviewing several firms, I choose this firm to represent me. Brooke Usher did not disappoint. I can only imagine how difficult her job must be to navigate not only the divorce settlement, but the emotions that her clients go through. I am a very emotionally consistent and laid back person when it comes to stress and my emotions, but I was definitely out of my element during this divorce. It was like nothing I had experienced. Brook Usher made me feel very comfortable during the process and assured me that what I was experiencing was normal and that I would get through it. She was very thorough at looking at my case and weighing out the options before me. She had great advice and I found her to be very bright, knowledgeable, fair, and genuinely caring. We had a lot of assets and businesses in our estate so there were a lot of moving pieces and it was a difficult settlement. I would like to add that even though we had separate attorneys, my ex-husband and I both walked away feeling like it was a fair settlement. That, I believe, is the sign of a great attorney. I would recommend anyone looking for a great attorney to look to Usher Family Law PLC for help. They will not let you down.

Ms. Usher is a very smart and professional lawyer. Brooke handled my divorce this past year. When I came to her I had been married 30 plus years. She listened to me and was very supportive of me. Brooke is a tough, honest and a hardworking attorney. I could call or email her at anytime and she would always respond almost immediatey. My ex-husband is an narcissitic pyschopath. No matter what he tried to pull Brooke was on top of it! It didn't take me long to know that I had picked the right attorney to fight for me. Brooke did a fantastic job for me and I am very grateful.

I can not begin to share how thankful I am for Brooke's guidance and expertise through my divorce and custody case. When I began this process, I was scared of what the future would hold. Brooke guided me through all my options, expertly crafted a plan, and kept me fully informed every step of the way. Brooke is an amazing lawyer who is skilled at what she does and truly cares for her clients. I simply can not recommend her enough.

Ethical, honest, dedicated, honorable and Christ-follower are just a few of the words that describe Brooke Usher. Brooke was recommended to me by a trusted friend. His trust was well founded. When I first came to see Brooke, I was trying to decide whether to file for a divorce from my husband of over thirty years. It was in a very bad marriage but the thought of ending it scared me so much. She listened to me and told me she would be there for me if I decided to file. A few weeks later my ex filed for divorce so that decision was made for me. I immediately hired Brooke and she began fighting for me like no one else ever had. I had been beaten down by so much verbal and mental abuse over decades that I could barely speak up for myself. Brooke was a strong voice for me until slowly over the twelve months that followed I learned to speak up for myself. I always knew that she had my back and that every action she took was for my benefit. She is a very smart woman and none of the tricks my ex or his lawyer tried to pull over the next 10 months fooled her. When I would be panicking when lies were being presented as facts, she kept me grounded. She would point out that not only were the lies obvious but my true source of truth and strength was Jesus. She was right. When the time came for mediation she was a power house! She didn’t stop fighting until I had the alimony that was due me and the wording of the document covered me for every possibility. Even making sure that it was stated that my ex had to carry enough life insurance so if he died before the eight years were up, I would still get the full amount of alimony due me! I never even knew that was something you could do. Although all her actions showed me that she always had my best interest at heart, there was one thing that showed, me once again, that her dedication to my divorce was the most important thing. I had, along with the divorce, a litigation suit that I was not sure I was going to pursue. But about six months into the divorce proceedings I felt I could handle a legal suit against a church and the minister that were at the heart of my ex-husband’s grounds for divorce. When I told Brooke that I would like to act against the church and minister for the grievous harm they had done to me, she immediately said that was not her area of legal expertise and brought in another lawyer who would work with her. She did this not only because she knew it was better for me but so she could continue to devote herself to representing me to the best of her abilities in my divorce. That above all, she wanted me to come through the divorce with the best possible outcome, showed her integrity once again. She wasn’t more interested in any possible monetary gain for her than she was in making sure I had the best representation in the litigation. And she wanted to keep her focus on my divorce. She is a strong Christian woman and I will always be grateful to her. Brooke wasn’t just my advocate. She became my friend. She spoke for me when I couldn’t, encouraged me to do hard things because she knew I would be glad once I had (she was right!), and was always available to me. She is a true blessing.

Let me start by saying Brooke has been the most dependable, responsive, fight for your case attorney I have hired and I have been through a few since 2005. First, I am an out of state client that was allowed to relocate but needed to go back to court. I contacted her and was immediately transferred since I just received notice of a hearing to take place a few days later. She explained all my options from the beginning and let me know what she felt would be the best route to handle my case and she went for it. If anything new came up or she needed more information, she was quick to send an email or tell me she needed to speak to me directly and we would set up a time to talk. From the time of filing to the actual hearing I did not feel like I was a forgotten client which I have felt like from other attorneys. Know that when you hire Brooke, she will analyze your case as your attorney, tell you the truth and look at your case from the other perspective (judge, other attorney, etc) . She ALWAYS looks at what is best for your child and will have you ready for court when going before a judge.

As a licensed therapist, I sometimes need to refer my clients to an expert in family law. Brooke is my go-to referral. She is knowledgable, available, and well-respected in the legal community. I've found that unresponsive attorneys who drag the divorce process on and on for months are a major source of stress to my own clients. Brooke responds to her clients in a very timely manner and does her best to close cases efficiently, while advocating for the best possible outcome for her clients. Everyone I've referred to Brooke has been very pleased.
