Spencer J. Brooks is a Partner at Brown Carrington, PLLC. His practice centers on family law, including divorce, child custody, child abuse and neglect, paternity, adoption, domestic violence, and child support matters. He joined the firm after spending five-and-a-half years practicing family law at Goldberg Simpson, LLC, the latter three of which were spent as a partner representing clients in complex litigation and appellate matters. His work at Goldberg Simpson earned him a place on the 2024 & 2025 Kentucky Rising Stars List published by Thompson Reuters, a distinction for excellence in practice earned by only 5% of attorneys in Kentucky. Prior to that, he spent six years as a staff attorney to two different Family Court Judges in Jefferson County Family Court. That experience as the right-hand man to two different judges has given him an insider’s understanding of the judicial decision-making process.

In 2010, he decided to pursue his life-long dream of becoming an attorney. He received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law in 2013.
