Very helpful and quick to solve problems

I had some regulatory issues I needed answers on with the setup of my new health care practice. Michael Cook was extremely responsive and quick to get my questions answered and matters settled. I will recommend him to anyone who asks.

Excellant Attorney

Michael Cook is an outstanding attorney with years of experience in the healthcare field, both nationally and at the state level across the country. I have turned to Michael for sound legal advice and practical help for more than 15 years. As general counsel of a nursing home management company, I ...hired Michael multiple times to resolve difficult problems and assist in all types of regulatory matters in multiple states. He was my first choice when hiring an experienced heathcare attorney. As a business attorney in private practice again, I continue to consult with Michael on various healthcare matters.

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.
