She tried cases for both plaintiffs and defendants. For her work, Brooke received Fort Worth Republican Women's most prestigious award, the Senator Betty Andujar Award. As an attorney, she was consistently voted by her peers as a "Fort Worth Top Attorney" by Fort Worth, Texas, Magazine and a "Texas Rising Star" by Texas Lawyer. In 2016, she was named "40 Under 40" by the Fort Worth Business Press.

She often spoke to real estate associations and agencies on the most efficient ways to transfer title for properties that had been in one family for decades. As a Director on the Board of the Texas Young Lawyers Association, Brooke contributed to several pamphlets on real estate matters including the Tenants' Rights Handbook. She also advised landlords, investors, and other escrow agents.
