James H. Cooke Jr.

James H. Cooke, Jr., Esq., Fayetteville, North Carolina Bill Padding-Overcharging-Horrible Representation Company information: Parish and Cooke Law Firm 343 Person Street Fayetteville, North Carolina United States Phone: 910-483-7680 I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY. Please take my a...dvise as a former client of Attorney James H. Cooke, Jr. In my case he was detrimental and harmful. He did not do the necessary research on my behalf thereby, placing me at a disadvantage from the on-start. He did not prepare for any of my hearings placing the prepared opposing party at an advantage because he was never prepared to fight for me. There were no pre-trial preparations making me a sitting duck. Additionally, when I did have an office visit per his recommendation I would show up and instead of discussing preparations for my upcoming hearing he would say, "how can I help you?" He or his time keeper did not prepare monthly statements so I had no idea what I was being billed for. I requested a monthly statement at least twice but never received one. His timekeepers billing is so horrible resulting in many overcharges in my case everything was billed at $250.00 per hour including worked performed by his assistants. His staff is ill prepared and lack basic knowledge in Family Law and were very rude. I regret not doing my research before retaining him so I am warning everyone reading this review to do your research and you will find several complaints about his level of representation which in my case was low the and the worse representation money can buy for my hard earned thousands of dollars. Before hiring him do your research honestly, you are better off being a Pro Se. This review reflects my experience. I am not telling anyone not to retain Attorney James H. Cooke (Fayetteville, NC) but, I would not recommend this attorney to anyone who wants someone to be a real advocate on their behalf.
