Review Brian Cook

Great Lawyer!

Posted by

I was in a hit and run accident in 2016. Mr. Cook was an excellent attorney. He was very straight forward and honest with me on what to expect every step of the way. The case took several years because of the opposing side. Mr. Cook kept me informed and up to date with all the details of the case, and I felt like he was fighting for me the whole time. Mr. Cook and his staff were very friendly they always had an answer to all my questions and concerns very quickly. The case was settled out of court I am confident that Mr. Cook worked hard to get me the best settlement possible. In fact, I feel like they settle for more because of Mr. Cooks effort. I highly recommend Bahe Cook Cantley & Nefzger and will definitely be using them for any of my legal needs in the future!

Handled my case personally & went above & beyond

Posted by

Mr. Cook took on an extremely difficult personal injury case at a time when I was at an absolute loss of what to do. Mr. Cook not only put me at ease but he and his assistant were there for me every step of the way, at all hours, answering every question I had, no matter how silly they seemed to me. Not only was Mr. Cook able to make sure that I received the medical that I required, he was able to ensure that my additional medical bills were covered as well. I would not only highlight recommend Mr. Cook; I would only recommend him to anyone who is unfortunate enough to require his services. I am deeply grateful and I am honored to show my gratitude for the amazing job he did. With my most sincere thanks, L. Searcy
