Zev Brooks makes the probate process easy for his clients by being efficient and detail oriented. With nearly two decades of probate experience, Zev knows how to avoid the pitfalls of the probate process that cause delays and frustration. Zev also looks for ways to avoid probate, if possible, to save his clients time and money. Finally, it is often the case that Zev's probate clients will never have to appear in Court.

What experience or education distinguishes your lawyers from others?

Probate, Estate Planning, and Marital Agreements, all require an attorney who not only knows the practice area, but who can also relate to people with compassion and understanding when they are vulnerable and who understand the importance of family dynamics and avoiding conflict. Zev Brooks is such an attorney. When you trust Zev with your probate, estate planning, or marital agreement, you are not only getting a skilled practitioner, but someone who understands that probate can be stressful and that estate planning and marital agreements can be delicate. Zev listens to his clients and strives to meet their needs, both legal and emotional, so that they don't feel overwhelmed or unduly stressed.

Zev S. Brooks

I was born on June 4, 1967, in Savannah, Georgia, and spent the first ten years of my life on the East Coast. In the summer of 1977, I moved with my family from Philadelphia Pennsylvania to Orange County, California, settling in Garden Grove.

In 1985, I graduated from Loara High School in Anaheim, California, and attended UCLA where, in 1989, I graduated Phi Beta Kappa, Cum Laude with a degree in Communication studies. While at UCLA, I spent my junior year studying at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Upon graduating from UCLA, I attended law school at the University of Southern California (USC) where I graduated in 1992.

After graduating USC law school, I began working in the Century City (Los Angeles) law firm then known as Christensen, White, Miller, Fink & Jacobs but discovered that a big firm practice was not to my liking.

In 1994, I opened up my own practice in Los Angeles, California, but have since relocated to Orange County, CA where I practice in the areas of estate planning, probate, marital agreements, contract drafting, and some business litigation.

In 2009, a fictional film I co-wrote and produced called "The Yankles" about a yeshiva baseball team was released by Magnolia Pictures on home video across the USA and Canada. "The Yankles" won 9 film festival awards. For information on "The Yankles" go to www.yankles.com.

In addition, since 1994, I have served the congregation of Temple Beth Emet in Anaheim, California as their Cantor.

In May of 1997, I married my wife, Yvette, and we are the happy parents of two daughters, Jacqueline and Danielle.

My other interests include song writing, playing guitar, and traveling.

A young lawyer was at a job interview when the hiring partner told the prospective employee that his firm was only interested in hiring ethical and honest lawyers. The young lawyer responded, "Sir, I am very honest. In fact, I borrowed $15,000 from my father to go to law school and paid back every cent after I handled my first case." Impressed, the hiring partner asked, "What was the case about?"; to which the young lawyer answered, "My father sued me for the money."
