Camp Lejeune has made it on the map and into the news lately for all the wrong reasons. If you’ve seen this military base highlighted, it was likely due to the ongoing lawsuit against them regarding water contamination, and hundreds (maybe thousands?) of individuals and families impacted by it from 1953 until 1987. What brought on this lawsuit…
Neighbors are a blessing…most of the time. While Ian brought out the best in many neighborhoods, with families working together to clean up, get by without electricity, and band together to recover from the storm, it brought out the worst in others. For individuals who were left with damage from a neighbor’s tree falling on their property (or…
After Hurricane Ian’s assault on Florida’s West coast and across the Central Florida area, the residents of Tampa Bay were breathing a sigh of relief while simultaneously feeling pity and empathy for those who were in the storm’s path. After having weather reporters project a direct hit to Tampa’s coastal area, we were braced for…
America is a country built on honesty, integrity, and care for one’s fellow man…isn’t it? For veterans and their families who served at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, these values are being questioned in light of the information that has come out about water contamination, lack of transparency, and the lifelong health effects many of them…
Ian left its mark all over southeast and central Florida, and while Brooks Law Group is thankful to be walking out with minimal damage, our hearts are with all of our friends and neighbors who weren’t so lucky. Many of our friends in and around Polk County were affected by the high winds and rain…

It’s not the sun coming out after the storm. It’s the American spirit. Americans believe in caring for our brother, loving our…
It is anticipated that over 1 million people may have been exposed and affected by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune for over 34-years, from 1953 to 1987. This includes marines that are stationed or in training at Camp Lejeune… but they aren’t the only ones. Not a Marine or Former Marine? You May Still be…
My numerous family members were not affected, but unfortunately many veterans and their family members that served at Camp Lejeune were harmed, not by a foreign nation, but by toxic water they encountered while on base at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Brooks Law Group Wants to Help You! We want to be there for…
No matter where you work, how careful the safety regulations are, or what you personally do to protect yourself, accidents can happen on the job. Perhaps more than any other field of employment though, construction sites are a risky place to work and frequently lead to injured employees. While they vary in type and severity, this remains the same:…
Polk County seems idyllic in so many ways. For those of us who live here, we’ve fallen in love with the many lakes and waterways, the delicious, local dining options, the amazing sunsets, the close proximity to the coast and major attractions, and of course, the beautiful downtown areas where you can browse markets and shops. Unfortunately, many locals…
