Terrible lawyer

He was very unprofessional, I lost my portion of custody and had to pay child support. This man set me up to fail and was never prepared for any of our court appearances. He charges excessive amounts and does little to earn it. Please be aware of this man.

Outstanding representation.

A fantastic attorney, has been flexible, communicative and invested in my case and the wellbeing of my children. Easily accessible to his clients, always ensures I am well informed and included in all decisions going forward. Doesn’t sugar coat things or provide false hope. Makes a plan going forward... and follows through quickly. Divorce and custody battles are hard enough. Ryan provides results and peace of mine that are more than worth his retainer. His legal assistant is also very friendly and approachable.

Ryan E Cooke is a Crookie

A con artists with a law degree , that's how I feel after meeting Ryan E. Cooke. I met with this man on 3/23/21 for a consultation after having talked to him for 45 minutes over the phone on 3/22/21. Ryan said he would charge me 1500 flat rate for all proceeding in family court until case resolve...s' and 1000 for trial, if it had to go to trial. I told him I was out of work and he said he would help me out. the contract that he gave me to review was in fact anything but helpful and in it stated the complete opposite of what we agreed to verbally. His contract is a two page robbery and leads people to a road of bankruptcy quickly , asking his clients to pay 1500 monthly with an additionally 10 percent interest charged on the 15th day of each month if you are late -is he a bank? and he charges these fees until case concludes. If you are going to charge people fees you should do it honestly and up front and charge those who have the money to give. I'm so happy I dogged this bullet and did not get into contact with this crooked attorney because Ryan E Cooke is a Crookie ,and you've been warned!

Unprofessional

Ryan is unprofessional and crude to interact with. He made many costly mistakes in my case. He missed filing dates, gave questionable legal advice. You will not save money with Ryan Cooke. In the long run it will likely cost you more time and money, at best.
