• How much does it cost to hire Brooke for a bankruptcy case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Brooke walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Brooke offer a free consultation?

  Brooke charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Brooke's office. Some bankruptcy attorneys offer free consults — check Brooke's current terms during booking.

• How long do bankruptcy cases in Texas typically take?

  Simple bankruptcy matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Brooke gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Brooke take my case if I'm outside Austin?

  Brooke is licensed in Texas. Matters governed by Texas law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Brooke will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Brooke?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Brooke will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Brooke accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

  Brooke's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
