I recommend Collin

Collin helped me with a suspended driving/speeding ticket. I walked away with only court fees to pay. From the start Collin was very professional and was very informative about NC driving rules. His price was fair and definitely worth It for the results.

Collin Cook was dishonest with me, refused to meet with me & insulted me.

Collin Cook represented me in a case where I was accused of purposefully writing a check off of my business account to purchase a computer. A handyman stole my business checks and I had no idea that the check wouldn't clear. Regardless, the authorized Apple Retailer (Ten Plus) tried to sell me a co...mputer that they destroyed by taking the Lion OS to a Leopard OS. I returned the computer per the police officer's instruction. Then I was arrested! Collin promised me that this was not a "strict liability" crime and that the state of NC would have to prove I intentionally wrote a "bad check" with the goal of depriving Ten Plus Computers of a computer. Collin promised me I would not be arrested and the case would go away. He charged $2000 and then forced me to re-purchase the broken computer! I am 78 years old and have never been arrested. Collin treated me with such disrespect and hatred that I know am scared almost every day. Collin did not represent me. He literally threw me under the proverbial bus. He was not honest with me. He refused to put anything in writing and he refused to meet personally with me.

Cook is the best you can get.

Mr. Cook was recommended to me by another lawyer. He took care of everything for me. After all was said and done, I had the absolute best outcome possible, and he personally called to give me a thorough debrief. He reviewed my entire traffic history and gave me excellent guidance for the future. Abov...e and beyond.

A Very Professional DUI Attorney

Using his vast courtroom experience, Collin Cook had our case continued until we were in front of a Judge who is a strong believer in one's constitutional rights. Although I had been pulled-over leaving a tire store parking lot at 1:30 am, he did an excellent job painting a picture in everyone's min...d that there was no probable cause for me to be stopped by the police. As a result, the Judge ruled all evidence gathered, after I was stopped by the police, to be suppressed. Acquitted! Throughout our case, Collin Cook was friendly, responsive, and behaved as a gentleman.
