I was a former franchisee and Brooke lied about helping me find office space, they failed to provide me with standard commercial markets, failed to file my Securities License forms which caused my securities licenses to expire, and threatening to take all of my personal belonings if I did not pay the franchise fee. This organization has been a farce.

I am in San Jose, CA and I, too, was a former Brooke Franchisee. I did call you yesterday and I wanted to tell you my story.
For me, they failed to provide Standard Carriers and Markets for my commercial lines business, they failed to help me find an office, and they failed to transfer my Securities Licenses to their NASD Broker Dealer. Furthermore, they want me to pay the $220,000 franchise fee for giving me nothing.
Does this make sense to you ? It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.
All in all, Brooke was a bad idea, and this premise is supported by a number of Commercial Brokers I have interviewed.
Feel free to give me a call at 408-202-1316. This is not a joke and I am with you all the way.
Thanks.

Mad As Hell Former Brooke Agent.
1) HOW MANY OF YOU ARE READY TO FILE CLASS ACTION AGAINST BROOKE?
2) DO YOU KNOW ANY LAWYER WHO CAN HANDLE IT?
3) CAN YOU SURVIVE AFTER FILING LAW SUITE AGAINST BROOKE? I HAVE HEARD THAT THESE GUYS ARE SHARKS AND THEY PREVENT COMPANIES FROM APPOINTING YOU.
Yes, I am ready to fight Brooke in a Class Action Lawsuit. I’ve been looking for an Attorney in CA because I reside in this State.
I have posted a comment annonymously for fear of retaliation by Brooke. I believe everyone can survive after the lawsuite because what it comes down to is establishing a clear case of fraud, violation of fiduciary responsibility, and 100% deception towards current and past franchisees.
I’m on the carrier side, have direct contact with management and in my 26 yrs I’ve never met a bunch of arrogant bastards like Brooke. For those thinking about buying a franchise..it will be your biggest nightmare..stay clear
I would really appreciate any info on how to deal with these people. I closed my doors over a year ago and am waiting for the axe to fall. I have contacted them several times and gotten the same response….”your franchise is next on the list to sell!” Someone tell me what I need to be ready for please!
All I can say is WALK AWAY!!! Hopefully while you still have the shirt on your back. These people will not do anything to an agent that walks away. I’ve seen it time and time again. All we can hope is that they go down – and soon! Unfortunately not soon enough to help all of the people they have destroyed.

I agree – as a former franchisee, Brooke never did what they promised to do (per thier contract)….BREACH OF CONTRACT!!!
Want to hear my experiences, (225) 268-8171.
