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.

Regretted using Mr. Cooley

As stated on prior reviews here and on various other review spots on the web,he is a very rude person.He only seemed interested in his personal life whice included martial arts and game hunting.Very unresponsive to calls,emails,etc. When in court,he acted as if he had no clue what he was actually doi...ng.Needless to say I was forced to basically fire him as my attorney and eventually found another who actually cared about my case and actually paid attention to facts. A word to the wise would be to steer clear of this law firm.

A Pleasure to Deal With

I had an unfortunate run-in with a client that Mr. Cooley was representing. I had no money to pay for my own lawyer and was very worried about the situation. I gathered as much evidence as I could and presented myself to him in the best possible manner. Mr. Cooley achieved getting me, and his client,... a result that satisfied us both. The best thing was, he wasn't even representing me, and not once did he use any of my information to twist or exacerbate the situation. It was nice knowing that the stereotype of lawyers 'twisting everything,' did not fall within our realm when it came to working with Mr. Cooley. I appreciated his time that he took on more than one occasion, to listen to me, whilst working quickly to resolve the conflict. I'd recommend this lawyer to anyone that wants a fair and honest lawyer. Cheers to you Mr. Cooley. Solid work.
