Brooke Irey has a natural zeal for helping others. Her ability to guide individuals during difficult situations makes her the ideal lawyer to assist clients in any matter. Brooke’s practice consists primarily of family law matters, from the simplest of divorces to the most complex child custody battles. Brooke also helps families with reaching their goal of becoming parents through gestational agreements and adoption. Brooke is both an advocate and a negotiator and she will provide clients with multiple paths to reaching their goal.
In addition to family law, Brooke also assists clients with estate planning needs – the preparation of wills, powers of attorney (durable and medical), directives to physicians and guardian declarations, and probate or heirship proceedings.
Brooke started her career in Houston before making her way back to her roots in northeast San Antonio (Selma, TX to be exact). Now, a resident of New Braunfels, she enjoys practicing in Bexar and Comal County and the multitude of counties that surround those two; no distance is ever too far to travel.
Brooke received her undergraduate degree from Texas Christian University (TCU) and her juris doctorate from South Texas College of Law. You will often find Brooke wearing purple and cheering on her beloved Horned Frogs year-round. When she’s not practicing law or cheering for her alma mater, you can find Brooke catching some live music or enjoying one of the many water spots in her town.

A message from Brooke
“My philosophy to the practice of law is to practice with empathy and a strong hand. When you come into my office, I know that more likely than not, you do not want to be there meeting with me. Please know that I will handle your case just as I would my own and that I am here to work for and with you every step of the way. “
