Brooke Mcmorrow and her staff were great collaborators in guiding me through the legal components of reconciling my mother's estate. They never failed to be patient always willing to reiterate what and whys behind what needed to be done. Always compassionate and understanding yet objective with the emotions that surfaced with family members. Very thorough in their communication. The i's were always dotted and the t's were always crossed. Brooke worked hard to keep the taxes consequences to a minimum and her referral of an accountant was equally easy to work with and very available to respond to family questions.
The few glitches were addressed immediately with no harm done. If I had any criticism if would relate to the initial engagement especially when the executor has never done this before and might be overwhelmed and hesitant to ask questions relate to the legalese. They might need to dumb it down more assuming that their client is reluctant to show their lack of knowledge and is still numb from the death of a loved one. My experience overall was great. Brooke and her associates were highly professional.

Brooke has been my attorney in a child custody case in Allegheny County throughout the years long process. In what is an extremely frustrating and arduous situation - and draining to any parent or guardian, she was not only up front with me about my options but also explained clearly what was going on in each phase of the process. It's invaluable to have someone who you trust, and are confident in with this situation. She will tell you what you need to know to make informed decisions, and she presents all options and possible outcomes. At each step in the process, you are aware of the risks, and know that whatever route you are taking, she is doing whatever she can to help you reach your desired outcome. In what is an emotional situation, she will keep you grounded, logical, and on task - this is invaluable.
I did not know her when this started, but now consider her a trusted and valuable part of my - and my child's life. Should you find yourself in a situation needing guidance and honest advice, I cannot offer a higher recommendation than Brooke.

Attorney McMorrow represented my husband and I in a custody situation that ultimately lead us to adopt our great-grandaughter whom we had from the time she was born. We have actually recommended her to others we have spoken to. She was knowledgeable and professional in and out of the courtroom, but at the same time, Attorney McMorrow had a calming reassurance, personable manner, and quiet confidence about her even in the height of the worst situations; times that seemed chaotic and uncertain to my husband and I. Our case was a bit unique due to the fact that we were the first great-grandparents to enter into a custody battle against our daughter who is the child's biological grandmother (in the state of Pennsylvania).
She guided us through a long custody battle of approximately 3 years in duration and in addition, successfully through the adoption process.
We can't thank her enough for all that she's done. We "highly" recommend Atty. McMorrow to anyone seeking services in her areas of expertise.
Thank you for the opportunity to do this review.

Brooke, took on our case to attain Legal Guardianship for our special needs daughter. Through the process she was very helpful in explaining what we needed to do, how to prepare for our day in court and what to expect during the process. She was excellent in her follow up and took time to explain the legal dialect/consequences in terms that the common person would understand. I highly recommend her.

I was referred to Brooke McMorrow to assist me in a very complicated guardianship case. She was able to make this emotional and physical draining procedure process endurable. Mrs. McMorrow provided sound legal advice, with a personal touch that allowed me to successfully protect a family member. Her legal knowledge and her attention to her clients are superior. Mrs. McMorrow even contacted me while she was on vacation to make sure I was up kept abreast of what was going on with my case. If you are looking for a highly competent lawyer who cares about her clients, then look no further. I highly recommend Brooke McMorrow to anyone who is need of her services.
