Bob began his legal career at the prestigious law firm of George, Hartz, Lundeen, Fulmer, Johnstone, King & Stevens, P.A., where he trained under the expert tutelage of Charles Michael Hartz, Esq., and eventually became a partner. In 2006, Bob started his own practice. Two years later, he formed Cooke Law Group.

Very Competent and honest Attorney
Mr Cooke represented me on my case of auto purchase fraud I was a victim of. He handled the case and won in a swift way. His office is filled with competent people, always on top of everything and keeping you posted.

Successful Defense
Cooke Law Group recently represented my defense in a civil case in Miami-Dade. Having never been involved in litigation, Robert Cooke reassured me that he had experience with similar cases to confidently represent my interests. From the initial consultation to the eventual dismissal of the case, I received professional and timely updates throughout the process. Although the litigation itself was stressful, it was always a pleasure to speak with Robert Cooke and his team. I would recommend Cooke Law Group to anyone seeking legal representation.

OUR EXPERIENCE AT COOKE LAW GROUP
Our first impression upon entering the professional offices of COOKE LAW GROUP was the atmosphere of friendliness introduced by the staff, creating an immediate feeling of assurance that we were in the right place. We were not kept waiting for long before we were engaged in an interview with Mr Cooke himself. He carefully examined each page of the documents we presented with apparent concern. Soon after, my spouse and I were informed of the possible positive solution of a legal Real Estate litigation problem that had been a depressing major concern for years. As promised within 48 hours the first phase of our problem was legally and positively addressed to our satisfaction. We have no option but to be grateful for the urgent attention given to our situation, over and above our expectations. We are now assured of a legal representative that can take care of our most complex legal problems. I will inform my family and friends of our experience with Robert Cooke and his professional and efficient legal services together with his amazing, friendly and competent staff.

Comfortable
I would like to give a review to Robert Francis Cooke, Esquire. When I entered his office today, I had lots of questions. He answered everyone of them. I felt that I made the right decision to have him represent me. I know that by me making this decision I am getting the best legal representation. Also, his staff made me feel right at home.

Won my case
Mr. Cooke handled a fraudulent Lein that was put on my house by a very dishonest contractor. Mr. Cooke and his staff were very thorough in their handling of the lawsuit I brought against the contractor and won the case hands down!

Bad Lawyer
Please, please, please DO NOT use this man and the law firm!!! They stole at least $7,000 from my 77yr old Aunt! They promised they would help her not lose her house. They took her money and did not have the decency to even pick up our calls!

unreliable, unqualified
I hired cook office to handle my case, what the staff did (Belinda Montalvo) was sending bill, the case was poorly handled. They kept the case going for over a year and a half to charge me a ridiculous amount of money.. I was totally lost, I didn't even know when and how the case would be done. I didn't have no clue. The staff there was trained to lie and to turn clients around. The only thing they are after is money, rip off clients pockets, being rude and disrespectful. I don't recommend no one to deal with them. Please stay away. Take your money and bring it somewhere else. Please, please I am begging you.

Fraudster
This people are thieves. I hired him and never did anything. I gave him $5000 as retainer and I had to fix my problem with a dealer my self. I went to his office to ask him to return my retainer and he said he was going to charge me only for the consultation and a letter he did but then he change his mind and said he will not return my retainer. All the people in that office that works for him (Belinda, Yelina) are the same as him. They are there to cover him all the dirty job he does. Don’t even try to do business with this people, you will loose your money and time.

Unhappy
he experience has been nothing but horrible! FRom Plam beach county I drove 1.5 hours to the middle of nowhere to meet this attorney he consulted with me for free as promised but that was about the furthest it went. I receive an email over 2 years ago that there has been a judgment and I should be recouping everything that has been taken from me back! Well, every time you call this office they give you the runaround! This girls, did I mention that its hard to understand what they are saying will say and do anything just to get you off of the phone! Word of advice, slow down and do your job! I would stay far away from this law firm, I am not convinced that they do anything for you, maybe my case wasn't big enough (then you shouldn't have taken it) Anyhow, I would never them again and I advise anyone with half a brain to stay far away!
