Ron Cooley, The Hard Driving Defender

Attorney Ron Cooley has a reputation for success in criminal defense – one that carries weight in legal circles, with business leaders, and throughout the community because he is highly competent and honest. This is the result of his involvement in numerous high-profile cases involving complex legal... issues and individual rights in NC. More methodical than mercurial, he is known for his diligence and long working hours, and returns phone calls and emails with incredible speed. He understands the legal issues of each case, and his drive is to be the best. I have hired Ron Cooley to defend me in two complex cases in Orange County, NC and I am extremely grateful for his counsel. He truly is a hard driving defense attorney.

Rude and Unresponsive

Once I paid his very high fee in full, the level of service dropped so low I had to hire another attorney to finish the work Mr. Cooley was hired to do. When asked for a rebate he told me I should pay him more. If you hire him, do not pay until the work is completed.

Problem Solver

Attorney Cooley: Is very professional and a dedicated lawyer. I retained Attorney Cooley on a short notice with only one day to prep. I was amazed and happy with the outcome. I strongly recommend Attorne Cooley.

BE CAUTIOUS

Not a great attorney. He was very disorganized in court, and did not seem to have the respect of the judge, or his colleagues. He was at times rude and abrasive. After being under prepared for our initial hearing, he wanted to charge even more for a later court date. He suggested I get a second job i...n order to afford his outrageous fee! He was unresponsive to my phone calls. Our only preparation happened 1 hour before court. It was a huge mistake to hire.

Excellent, compassionate and professional to say the least.

Mr. Cooley has been my attorney for the last couple of years. He is very, very good at what he does. He is very up to date with laws in North Carolina and in family and personal law as a whole. He will always be my attorney and I have never had a reason not to refer him to friends for their legal is...sues without a doubt. He is very compassionate and caring when it comes to his clients and their legal affairs.
