Modification of child custody

Mr. Cook modified my parenting plan. I literally emailed him the old one and told him what the new one needed, and in two days, (Saturday and Sunday) the new plan was ready to be signed and filed. He was very quick to respond to my emails. He did everything we needed him to do and his office staff we...re amazing. Definitely recommend.

Great representation

Mr. Cook took my case and worked diligently to get the facts and help me win in a jurastiction case. We were able to communicate via phone and email and he was quick to respond. He knows his stuff and I was happy with everything.

Awesome work

I had issues with dcs and them lying to me and taking my children and making me sign a paper saying it was a restraining order against the alleged and it wasn't I had ended up signing an I.P.A what I later found out was immediate protection agreement not a restraining order against the person. They l...ied didn't do their job. And I had no options left but to get a lawyer and get my babies back or go crazy. I chose to stay sane and get my 5 babies back. When I met with James the consultation was completely free and he was straight up honest in saying I needed to hire him and they screwed me and he loves cases like this in getting to prove dcs wrong and the injustice that they do to parents these days it's just legal kidnapping. J.r. was very great at keeping me in the loop and keeping in touch he is very much involved in the case and communication with his clients. MOST IMPORTANTLY WE WON AND HE IS FIERCE HE GETS HIS SIDE KNOWN AND HE MAKES IT KNOWN HOW WRONG THINGS WERE DONE. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO HIM FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE IF I NEED ANYTHING. HE IS VERY CONFIDENT IN HIMSELF AND HE IS STRAIGHT UP. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU YOU HIM FOR ANY ISSUE THAT YOU MAY HAVE. AND I WILL BE GIVING HIS NAME OUT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED OF A REALLY GOOD AFFORDABLE LAWYER.. Thanks so much Jr. You kept me calm and kept me in line and confidence in myself when I'm always nervous when it comes to being before a judge. You were great and awesome to work with I can't thank you enough.

Hardest working child custody lawyer in this region

If you are reading this, chances are you're in the same boat I was in. You need legal assistance, and you want someone to sincerely help you win your case, without just taking your money and then seeing them once at trial. You want to know the person you hire is going to work hard to help you with yo...ur case as if it was their own. Well, your search is over! I did plenty of research before meeting with JR. I've met lawyers in the past for my initial divorce as well as to interview them to take on this case for me. None of them compare to JR. He is far and above the best lawyer you'll ever meet! I hired JR to amend my divorce/custody parenting schedule from 50/50 to me having full custody due to ongoing and increasing negative situations in my children's alternate living environment. JR listened to me and took detailed notes regarding my situation. He was engaging and friendly, and very honest. JR has a very calm and friendly demeanor, but he is very relatable. He is highly educated on child custody laws. He did an excellent job helping me understand the legal jargon, as well as all my rights in this situation. From our initial consultation, he encouraged me to keep detailed notes during any exchanges with my ex, and he also gave me additional tips on the how to get documentation that would help prove my case. JR remained in constant email and phone contact with me throughout the entire trial. He assisted me with filing orders of protection, emergency hearings, as well as the final court hearing. We attended mediation to attempt to resolve matters, and he gave me solid guidance during that time so that I was able to make reasonable demands to my ex. We did not reach an agreement, so our case went to trial. In trial, he was aggressive, thorough, and very knowledgable. He had a clear plan, and looked very prepared for whatever my ex had to say. It was obvious he had prepared ahead of time. We were 100% successful in solidly proving our case. My custody arrangement was changed in my favor, and I couldn't be more thankful! In my opinion, JR and his dedication/time/effort is worth far more than what he charges. Most lawyers charge a higher fee than he does, yet they give you far less in return in comparison. Do not look anywhere else for any other lawyer. JR is exactly who you should hire for you family law needs. He won't let you down. He will work harder than you, and no doubt he will do everything in his power to help you win! I'm thankful for everything he did for my family, and if ever I need any assistance in the future, JR is the only lawyer I will ever hire.
