NATANYA H. BROOKS, ESQ. 

FOUNDING ATTORNEY

I learned early that discipline and grit could open doors. As a Division I swimmer at Georgia Tech and a school record holder, my world revolved around focus, performance, and pushing through pain. That experience taught me how to show up, no matter how hard things got. I didn’t know it then, but that foundation would shape every chapter of my life.

After college, I took time to explore—coaching swimmers, working odd jobs, and trying to discover where my strengths, values, and purpose could all come together in a meaningful way. During that time, my husband was playing in the NFL, and I saw firsthand how high-stakes contracts could shape a young athlete’s future. It made me appreciate the importance of having knowledgeable advocates in your corner. It also pushed me to find a career where I could create stability for my family and make a lasting impact for others.

When Life Shapes the Law

Professional Timeline

Finding My Calling in Law

I found that path in the law. The courtroom felt familiar; a space where preparation and purpose mattered. I started my career as a civil defense attorney, representing corporations in high-stakes litigation. The work was complex and demanding, but I often felt a disconnect. I wanted more purpose. I wanted to be closer to the people at the heart of the story.

A Life-Altering Experience

Then everything changed. During a routine ultrasound while pregnant with my second daughter, doctors found a fast-growing mass near the baby. Emergency surgery followed. What was supposed to be a minimally invasive procedure turned into a full abdominal surgery. Thankfully, the tumor wasn't cancer, and my daughter was born healthy. I recovered, but I wasn't the same.

A New Perspective on Advocacy

The experience taught me what it meant to feel vulnerable in a system designed to help but that can sometimes feel impersonal and overwhelming. I understood, for the first time, what my clients must feel when facing their own legal battles. This perspective shift became the foundation of my approach to practicing law.

Standing Up for Justice

When corporations fight as hard as they do, the people they've harmed need someone equally committed to standing up for them. I realized I wanted to be that advocate. This realization led me to shift my practice toward representing individuals and families rather than large corporations.

The Birth of Brooks Law Partners

My personal experience taught me that when people face a crisis, they need more than just legal expertise—they need an advocate who understands their vulnerability. This understanding became the cornerstone of Brooks Law Partners, where we combine rigorous legal strategy with genuine empathy for our clients.

A Mission-Driven Life

My mission extends beyond individual cases. Through mentoring young attorneys, pro bono work, and community involvement, I strive to create lasting change in how legal services are delivered.
