So glad He was my attorney!

Mr. Cooke and his staff were amazing in helping me with my child custody case. They were able to help me get through a challenging time. They were consistent in making sure my ex was held accountable for nonpayment, and violations of court orders. They also were very honest with me and what were ...rational expectations for my case. Mr. Cooke works very well with the other attorneys and was always able to work things out for me and my children. The staff were always well prepared, returned my phone calls, and processed paperwork in a timely manner. If you’re looking for a firm with integrity and honesty, this is the place you should go to.

Lousy Repesentation

Mr Cooke represented me in my divorce. He did nothing for me! Whatever my ex-wife lawyer wanted she got with no argument. My ex requested $1600 a month for child support for 3 months and she was awarded it even though I am a disabled veteran with a award for the VA of only $3200 a month. My ex wife r...an up a bill for $83000 and I was ordered to pay it. I had to give my ex wife my house that I had years before I married her and was ordered to continue making monthly payments until it was paid off. I have been fighting the child support order for years without Mr Cooke's help. The court had stated I was require to pay child support till my 18 year old daughter had graduated high school. First, my ex wife home schooled my 3 children, not one of them ever received a high school diploma, secondly and most important, when my daughter turned 18 on 25 April she got married 2 days later. Regardless, I was still ordered to pay $1600 per month for April, May and June even though she wa married by the magistrate in Fayetteville on 28 April. So please beware, Mr Cooke will not stand up for you even if you have presented the facts to him. He buries his head in the sand. When you call, he never gets back with you. Please I implore you, find a lawyer who will go the extra mile, doesn't make back alley deals that are not in your best interest and you know nothing about anything until the judge reads the judgement order in the courtroom as your are standing there in total shock and bewildered about what just happened. Don't be surprised if within hours of the judgement that you receive a letter stating he's no longer your attorney of record. In better words "F" you, you're on your own. PS: If you really want a good lawyer, you should hire my ex-wife's lawyer, he is far better than Mr Cooke! At least he'll make sure he has your best interest at heart!!!

Child Support

I hired Mr. Cooke in April 2015 for Child Support . He ensured that everything was in order and I got my child support with back pay in a timely manner. I made sure he had all the supporting documentation he needed so that my case can run smoothly. I would greatly refer him and I will use him again i...f I have any legal issues. Thank you Mr. Cooke.
