Preserving The Legacies Of The Los Angeles Community Since 1985
Estate Planning As A Celebration Of Your Legacy
You have put your heart and soul into building a fulfilling life – nurturing your family, establishing a loving home, accumulating assets and building your legacy. These accomplishments should be celebrated as well as protected.
That is the focus of my firm, The Brooke Law Group, PC, here in Monrovia. For over 40 years, I have been assisting individuals and families across Los Angeles County in crafting and maintaining effective estate plans that are designed to safeguard their life’s work. I can handle all aspects of estate administration and am skilled at resolving estate-related disputes.
I am also prepared to manage the intricacies and risks that often trouble individuals with high-value estates. As these estates may be subject to significant taxes and specific legal regulations, preserving them calls for a deep understanding and seasoned insight.

Our Clients’ Feedback
Mary Winners
“Darrell is a very experienced trust and estate planning attorney who is readily accessible to professionals and clients on client matters. Together, we have worked on several complex matters for joint clients, resulting in beneficial outcomes for them. Darrell is consistently victorious at gaining approval for my care plan recommendations for conservatorships hearings in Superior Court. This is important because it can be detrimental for a person, if not approved, and affects the quality of life for the conservatee. Attention to detail and expertise are essential in an attorney; both are strong qualities in Darrell Brooke.”
Jodi
“As licensed professional fiduciaries, we serve as trustees, conservators, estate administrators — and much more. Due to the fact that we are professionals, the cases we take on tend to be very legally challenging. For this reason, we come to Darrell Brooke for his knowledge and insight in navigating the vast, complex, and often very tricky, probate landscape.”
Jessica Kelgard
“Darrell Brooke was the estate planning attorney working on my late mom’s trust. My family was very difficult to work with, but Darrell helped keep emotions out of the proceedings and he ensured that my inheritance was secure through the entire process. I relied upon his guidance and everything turned out very well. I’m so happy that I was able to have Darrell on my side to help me through all the difficult times over the past 2.5 years.”
