James H. Cooke Jr.

As a client of Mr Cook’s I was very pleased with his work. I had a very difficult and lengthy case and was thankful Mr. Cook offered thoughtful guidance and was tenacious handling my case. In addition, his staff was always responsive to my questions and assisted with information requested by the cour...ts or other party. Mr Cooke set aside time via phone to discuss strategy sessions prior to each hearing and offered sound advice during our time in the courtroom. This was even more critical as I live out of state. I was most pleased with the outcome of my case, as a result of Mr.Cooke’s work and the of his team. I would highly recommend his services

I hired Mr. Cooke in 2011. He is by far the worst unprepared attorney I have dealt with. He will say all these things in the meetings with you that he rushes to get out of and then on the day of court he makes deals with the other party benefitting them not you. I strongly do not recommend Mr. C...ooke.

I am a recent client of Attorney James H. Cooke, Jr. He was unprepared for hearing and cut deals benefitting the opposing party. He did not put up a fight, and ignores client wishes. Asks for (billable) phone conferences and meeting, then does not follow up with the game plan. Blames his staff for e...verything. Staff takes sides and if they don't agree with your side they lag. He refuses to communicate and does not answer emails or phone calls. His office sent me an official document for signature and Notary with blanks to be filled in by his office. When I refused to sign until blanks were filled in, he stopped work and refused to answer repeated calls to his office. This review reflects my experience. I do NOT recommend this attorney to anyone who wants serious representation.

Jim Cooke is an excellent attorney. I have known him professionally and personally for over 21 years. and I am an attorney as well. I have litigated with him, and against him, but he has in fact represented me on civil matters and provided invaluable advice to my staff and me over the years. He ...is dedicated, hard working, and truly cares about all his clients. He has the respect of his peers and the judges alike. He is the type of person who can get along with anyone in any situation, and those qualities are sorely needed in our court system today. Jim starts his day way before other attorneys, usually by 5am if not sooner, I know because I am texting him on cases I have with him. I have seen him assist his clients on the weekends, at night, and on holidays, even giving the clients his private cell number. When I have had client conflicts (meaning we could not represent the potential client because we already represented the opposing side, or perhaps other vaid reasons), we called his office and got that person to see Jim right away. Jim also has the very unique ability to work well even with the most aggressive opposing counsel, and then obtain super results for his client despite the obstacles . I trust Jim,,and in fact have asked Jim to be my minor son's trustee and guardian in the event of my wife's and my death. If I can trust Jim to represent me, and trust JIm with the life of my son , then you can trust him too.
