Personal care during a difficult time!

Mr. Cooke was recommended to me by a family member. I can not thank him enough for his expertise and kindness during a difficult time. Mr. Cooke was highly knowledgeable and took the time to help me understand everything that I previously found confusing. Thank you Mr. Cooke!

Expert legal advice from a lawyer who cares!

Mr. Cooke and his law firm were very helpful to me and my family, and I have been recommending him and his firm to friends who need a lawyer who really cares about their clients needs. Don’t hesitate to call!

Posted by Stephanie Elgar | August 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Thank you Mr. Cooke!

Mr.Cooke represented me for a motor vehicle accident. Through his services we were able to locate an eyewitness who provided a statement to support my version of how the accident happened. After obtaining this statement the police corrected their investigation. Mr. Cooke was able to obtain a great se...ttlement. He was always available to discuss my case. As a matter of fact, he answers his own telephone calls without screening them through his secretary. When he was not available he would return my call the same day-even after business hours. This was my first experience with a lawyer. I am pleased and thankful that Mr. Cooke agreed to represent me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
