Law Offices of Jon G Brooks

Jon and his staff have been amazing every step of the way. We are refinancing and he has worked closely with our loan guy. He always responds to calls and questions, he is a great guy. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

My experience with Jon Brooks & his staff began about 6 – 7 years ago after the real estate/​economical downturn. He’s helped several of my family & friends. He & his staff are extremely courteous, professional, knowledgeable & a pleasure to work with. Jon is very accessible for any questions or concerns via email or phone. He makes a difficult process very simple, guiding you through every step of the way. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, thank you Jon for all that you do for your clients & the community.

I used this attorney over 10 yrs ago (before there was a Unilocal) & he was great. I’d recommend him above any other attorney in the bay area!

My husband and I used the Law Offices of Job G Brooks about five years ago. We needed copies of documents a few months back. Jon and his office were as helpful as they were the very first time we walked into their offices five years ago!
When we needed legal representation the staff was quick, professional, honest, affordable, and fair. Any time we had a question, things were answered for us promptly.
The only complaint we have about the Brooks law firm? They don’t offer more legal services. :-) Attorneys usually have a reputation as being sleazy and shifty. Jon G Brooks and his team well make up for that!

I called the law office for some information and after briefly going over details with the person who answered the phone, they put me on hold for a little bit, and low and behold, Jon Brooks answered himself.
He listened to my points, was very thorough, brought up great points even though it was not a case he would be able to take on himself. He didn’t rush me, answered all my questions, and even gave me a referral to an attorney who was better suited for my needs.
Give him a call, it can’t hurt.

I HIGHLY recommend the services of Jon Brooks. He and his staff are very professional, compassionate, patient, honest and non-​judgmental. I felt at ease since the very first meeting. He explained in detail the whole process step by step. Everything was very straight forward and no hidden fees. I had a couple of questions after the case was closed and he answered back right away.

I can’t begin to express how thankful I am that I found Jon. It was actually the previous Unilocal!reviews that convinced me to select him.
Jon is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, responsive and pleasant. He reviewed my situation, set a course of action, and alerted me to the issue he thought might come up, which it did. He then utilized his own resources to assist with the issue when I couldn’t provide the adequate documentation. Who does that? No one seems to want to do extra work these days but he did and I’m grateful.
I reiterate what a previous reviewer stated: «Remember that everything goes both ways. I had all my information handy and organized. This helps the case. Without my willingness he cannot move forward. As a client you need to be proactive.»
I highly recommend Jon G. Brooks and his team. He is truly wonderful!

The decision to go with Jon was largely intuitive and I’m really glad I did. He is a very knowledgeable attorney who really demystified the whole process. No matter what your situation is, it just helps to have somebody on your side, looking out for you. Had I tried to do this myself it would have been hugely stressful. Thanks Jon.

The team here is amazing. I don’t think anyone plans to file Bk… however, after a strong attempt to open a restaurant and having it for many years, the pressure, stress and everyday nonsense unfortunately got the best of me.
That is where Jon and Ana come in. They were both completely amazing during the entire process! Words cannot express how much I sincerely appreciate the outcome.
If you have to file BK… I would strongly suggest Jon!
I had written a previous review but took it down because I didn’t want to publicize my private biz, however, after some thought I really don’t care. I do care though, that Jon has helped me start again in my financial recovery process. And to that, I am so grateful.
Thanks, Jon! I am slowly rebuilding my life again!
Sincerely,
Joe

Jon g Brooks is the great attorney he represented me in april 2014 and my bankruptcy went smooth all my questions were answered very great attorney i recommend 100%

Attorney Jon Brooks represented me back in 2009. The entire process from beginning to end was seamless, from his professionalism and breadth of knowledge to his staff’s responsiveness. I found myself, 5 years later, needing a copy of a rather large document related to my case and within hours of requesting it, it was waiting in my inbox. I expressed the urgency in acquiring the copy and my request was met with timely attention. I am truly appreciative of all of the past and continued assistance I have received from his office.
If you are looking for an excellent attorney that balances expertise with compassion — look no further!
I highly recommend the Law Offices of Jon Brooks.

As overwhelming as filing for bankruptcy can be I can not stress enough how important finding the right attorney is. When I found myself in this predicament Unilocal helped me narrow down the attorneys and I am glad I followed my instinct. Mr. Brooks replied within hours.
Extremely professional, courteous, supportive, knowledgable, etc… I could go on with the adjectives. As soon as I stepped into his office I knew I was in good hands. Everyone made me feel safe. And he is no exception.
Remember that everything goes both ways. I had all my information handy and organized. This helps the case. Without my willingness he can not move forward. As a client you need to be proactive.
I will recommend The Law offices of Jon G. Brooks fully. Hands down Mr. Brooks if not the best… is one of them. You know what? He is the best. And I sure glad I found him.

Jon G. Brooks is the man! His advice helped us file in a way that was best for our circumstance. We have since re-​established our credit and are well on our way to recovery. Thank you Jon!

They listen to feedback and have since replaced the front office staff. Thanks for being responsive, guys!
Way to go! You are the best!
Ok, now I can fully recommend them without reservation. (Although hopefully I won’t need their services again. ;)

We filed personal bankruptcy with the law office of Jon G. Brooks they were very compassionate and thorough. I highly recommend this office!

Jon handled my Chapter 7. The entire staff is wonderful. I called in a panic a few times because the collectors were telling me things that are just not true. They were understanding. Explained things in a very easy to understand fashion.
They are worth every penny.
PS… I am adding this on 8÷3÷2013… Filing BK was the best thing I ever did. I feel so much less stress. I feel like it is a new beginning. The process can be stressful but Jon makes it as painless as something like this can be. If you are debating BK… talk to Jon… that is all I am saying just talk. You deserve to have less stress in your life.

We met with Jon about 2 years ago when we were contemplating bankruptcy. Jon was great — met with us for the complimentary consultation and helped us understand our options. After Jon laid everything out for us, it was clear that Bankruptcy was not a good option for us. Jon was informative, no-​pressure and totally helped us make a good decision for us — even though it didn’t result in business for him at the time. He is kind, not pretentious, professional, and we felt totally at ease.
Fast Forward 2 years, after a job loss and scraping by financially… we went to see Jon again (another free consultation). He had re-​familiarized himself with our circumstances from 2 years ago and reviewed our current situation and presented us with our options.
Jon and David both worked on our case and they were always there to provide information, answer emails/​phone calls and help with a little post-​discharge letter writing. If you are looking for a bankruptcy attorney DO NOT LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE!
Also, fees were reasonable and explained thoroughly!
Our financial situation is now looking up and we are very thankful to Jon and David!

Declaring Bankruptcy is something you have to do when you’ve exhausted all other options and it can be an overwhelming and scary thing to go through. Luckily there are people like Mr. Brooks who are there to help you go through the process. I consider myself very lucky to have found Mr. Brooks as he was the first lawyer I contacted in regards to my case.
I met with Mr. Brooks for my initial free consultation and found him to be very empathetic, friendly, and knowledgable. He answered every single question I had. After my consultation I knew I was going to use him as my attorney. I paid the fee and then his secretary /​paralegal called me to let me know what info she would need from me. I provided her with all the info. So they did their work and life went on for me as normal and it’s a great feeling to tell all the collectors to stop calling you and to contact your attorney.
As time went on I would get calls from his secretary every once in awhile asking for additional information as needed pertaining to my case. Then I got a call to come in and meet with David Hsu. David is also very knowledgeable and funny and he coached me on what to do and expect in court. After all was said and done I got my letter from the court discharging my debt and it was like a huge burden lifted. Total process takes about 8 – 10 months but worth it.
In closing if you ever end up in the unfortunate situation that you need to get a bankruptcy attorney then do yourself a favor and contact the law offices of Jon G. Brooks. Thanks to Jon and David for treating me like a human being and for their courtesy, knowledge, and sense of humor.

Last December I realized bankruptcy was my only option, even though two good friends strongly opposed my taking this route.
I located Jon G. Brooks in the yellow pages and went to see him with fear and trembling.
In our free hour together Mr. Brooks briefed me in great detail as thoroughly as if I were taking a law school tutorial class. He was positive and reassuring from the beginning. The Bankruptcy Courts, he explained, were a Federal Institution designed to help people who were in need. Mr. Brooks told me exactly what to do, what papers he needed, and what to expect. I paid his fee and the court fees and responded to one of two minor questions on my application form.
A week before my hearing Mr. Brooks invited me back down to his office for a walk-​through briefing of what «my day in court» would look like.
Because all the paperwork had been done correctly by Mr. Brooks, and was in good order, my time with the Examiner was only about 10 minutes, exactly as Mr. Brooks was predicted.
This entire experience was a valuable learning experience for me, completely free from anxiety and with minimal stress from the start.
Mr. Jon G. Brooks is exceptional! I can not recommend him too highly.

Well five years ago my wife wanted to claim bankruptcy and went to a lawyer she found and he pretty much was an asshole and wanted to charge her $ 3000 to get the job done. That’s when I went on the search and found Mr. Jon G. Brooks by accident. Thee wife said what a great guy he was as well as pro and knew his stuff.
Fast forward five years later … with economy sucking as it is and now and now that I don’t have a job and have accrued debt beyond my mean its now my turn to claim bankruptcy.
So I decided to go with Jon G. Brooks
First off his staff was phenomenal, very friendly and down to earth and makes you feel comfortable the minute you walk in.
Office was very cleanly, professional, and quiet and quaint
Then I met Jon … the guy definitely knows his shit about the laws of bankruptcy. All ups and downs and fun that it can cause you, as well as help you. What I liked about Jon was he treated me with respect from the moment I walked into his office. I wasn’t just another legal fee to him in his pocket. He was honest and up front with me and gave me options to my situation instead of trying to get me to sign paperwork and take my money. I could not say enough about this (Gent) and am happy that I went with Jon to help me out now and my matters in thee months to come.
