JOANNE from NEW YORK

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE call Tim Cook!!! Amazing results at a AMAZING PRICE. Our daughter was arrested in Maryland for DUI. Being from New York we had no idea who to turn to for legal help. We MISTAKENLY turn to Frank Henninger who NOT ONLY total over charge us and he DID NOTHING TO HELP. We had ...to appeal the court ruling and turned to TIM COOK. Thank goodness for Mr. Cook. He not only had the charges DISMISSED, he charge a FRACTION of what Henninger charged. PLEASE, PLEASE , PLEASE call TIM COOK for help.

Review of Timothy A. Cook, Attorney

I hired Mr. Cook for a serious traffic ticket I received in Harford County. He did a great job and got me a PBJ in court. His fee was reasonable and he kept in touch with me throughout. I would recommend him.

Best Lawyer In Harford County

Timothy Cook has represented us numerous times, and every time the result has been exactly what we had expected. He is professional, very kind and courteous. He will listen to every detail of your case and lay out all of the best options. Very easy to talk to honestly about whatever your case may inv...olve. His prices are reasonable and he has a great reputation in the Bel Air MD area with other Lawyers and Judges. He will definitely remain our go-to lawyer if anything ever arises.

5stars

I was very pleased with the way Mr. Cook handled my case. He was affordable and always kept in contact with me. He made sure I was kept up to date and also made sure it didn't go to trial. He was organized and confident from the moment he heard my case. I did not have any reservations in trusting him... with handling my difficult case. He was professional and sensitive in all of my dealings with him, and as a woman I really appreciated that. He was very positive and assured me that he would stand by me if I had to go to trial. Thanks to his efforts, I was able to settle out of court and got everything handled. 5stars to Timothy Cook

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.
