P. Brooks LaRou

A proud Virginia native, I was born and raised in Richmond, where I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from Virginia Commonwealth University. As a first-generation college graduate, I’ve always viewed education as a responsibility—to use what I’ve learned to help others and make a positive impact in my community.

My passion for advocacy began early. Inspired by my loved ones with disabilities, I began volunteering with the disability Law Center of Virginia, where I witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact that legal advocacy can have. This experience sparked my commitment to the law and ultimately led me to pursue my legal education at St. Thomas University College of Law in Miami, Florida. At St. Thomas, I received a merit-based scholarship and graduated cum laude with a concentration in Intercultural Human Rights. I served as a staff editor for the Intercultural Human Rights Law Review and earned a pro bono commendation for my public service as a legislative assistant to the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners. These experiences deepened my dedication to fairness, equality, and service—values that continue to shape my legal career today.

For most of my practice, I have represented employees whose workplace rights were violated under federal employment laws including the ADA, FMLA, FLSA, and Title VII, and their state and local counterparts. I routinely advocate for clients before Florida’s state and federal courts, as well as administrative agencies such as the EEOC. At FairLaw Firm, I counsel both employers and employees on preventing and resolving workplace disputes. I’m known for being a passionate and determined litigator who relentlessly pursues justice and positive outcomes for my clients. Whether navigating complex litigation or offering practical guidance, I pride myself on being approachable, empathetic, and deeply invested in every client’s story—striving to ensure each person I represent feels heard, understood, and empowered.
