Atty. Melissa Brooke Joos is a lawyer practicing criminal defense, family law, civil litigation and 3 other areas of law. Melissa received a B.A. degree from College of Wooster in 1989, and has been licensed for 24 years. Melissa practices at Collins & Henderson LLP in Beloit, WI.
Brooke is a good attorney. She makes you feel like you are her only client. She responds quickly and is honest about the case. I like that she tells you how it is and not what you want to hear. I highly recommend her.
My experience with Melissa Joos as a GAL was disappointing. She spoke with the opposing party but never contacted me for my side of the situation, which felt unfair and one-sided. When my guardianship request was denied, she also did not provide a clear explanation for the decision. Overall, her lack of communication and transparency made it difficult to trust the process.
As a GAL, she does not communicate with both parties involved. She only spoke with me once, while she spoke with my ex-husband several times. She did not inform me of the 4 times my ex-husband brought my kids in for interviews with her and did not initiate any contact with me to hear any other side of the story except for his. She lacks the necessary skills to detect a manipulating parent. A Dane county attorney I spoke with thinks Brooke Joos is worthless, as is the Rock County Family Courts.
