We want to hear from you, but before you click the “ACCEPT” button below, please be aware of the following:

Sending an email to Adams and Reese LLP does not create an attorney-client relationship.  We do not accept client representations by email.  We do not treat unsolicited information received by email from our website as confidential.

If you are contacting us about a possible representation, we cannot represent you until we know that we would not have a conflict of interest.  Please do not send us any information about a potential representation until you communicate with one of our lawyers by telephone or in person about representation. 

By clicking “ACCEPT” you agree that we may review any information you send us, and that we do not need to consider it confidential.  You also agree that our review of your email or any information in it, even if you submitted it in a good faith effort to retain us, and even if you consider it confidential, will not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even in a matter where that information could and will be used against you.

Please click “ACCEPT” if you understand and accept the foregoing statement and wish to proceed.

In representing clients’ interests on Capitol Hill, my team of government relations attorneys and I take this proven approach: First, we make it personal and work closely with clients to become an integral part of their business. Second, we’re substantive; we know the issues that affect our clients inside and out. Third, we know the players well and understand how to create, shape and implement a client’s legislative strategy.

Primary Practice:

Jeff Brooks combines his budget and appropriations experience, his understanding of financial service matters, and his knowledge of legislative strategy to represent clients from the Gulf South, the firm’s major footprint, as well as those in virtually every corner of the country. Jeff guides clients on issues that arise at the federal level in energy, transportation, public works, budget appropriations, education and financial services.

From his previous service as Chief Counsel and Director of Special Projects for Congressman Richard H. Baker, Jeff knows that positive outcomes often hinge on smart, sound legislative strategy, the patience to wait for the right time to put it into play, and the ability to work closely alongside those with whom he’s developed trusting personal relationships. He can point to many such outcomes, like the recent legislative victory worth $390 million in loan forgiveness that he won for four Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and his efforts to advance the causes of his clients before the Army Corps of Engineers.

On the leadership front as a six-term Chair of Adams and Reese’s Executive Committee, Jeff has learned from and stands on the shoulders of the leaders who came before him throughout the firm’s storied past, while always keeping his eyes on the future. What’s more, he strives to follow the relentless work ethic of his hero: baseball legend and leader Cal Ripken Jr.
