Ronald Edwin Cooley

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.

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.

My wife and I hired this attorney for custody concerns regarding our kids. This attorney has had multiple infractions with the NC Bar Association. He is very unresponsive to client needs and his logged hours are very inaccurate in his invoices. Also, his contract is extremely misleading with his u...p front retainer in that he KEEPS it in its entirety whether he uses it or not. Don't waste your money, time or put your family at risk with this attorney.
