Knowledgable, supportive, & proficient!!!!
I was going through the hardest time of my life on personal, family, work & financial situations. I needed someone with skills and understanding to help me through this legal process. Dan was able to go above and beyond with consulting, explaining, getting the proper documents/filing and representation for me, all at the same time provide support without judgement through this long, stressful time. I would not have been able to do this without him. I highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a great lawyer!

Bankruptcy Attorney
I was extremely nervous and embarrassed going into the consultation with Mr. Cooke. When I got there he was super kind and personable. I voiced my nervous and embarrassment and he reassured me that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. He explained in more detail what bankruptcy was and how it worked, he was not pushy and really wanted me to make the right decision for me. After I hired him, he was very attentive and thorough with my case. Any questions I had, I could always call or email him. The day of the court date, he arrived early and helped prepare me and told me what to expect. After it was all said and done, he told me if I ever had any questions or concerns to never hesitate to call or email him. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mr.Cooke as a bankruptcy attorney. Yes he is an attorney but he is an attorney that genuinely cares.

Dan was awesome to work with. From the beginning where everything was stressful and crazy he put me in a good position to better understand my finances and the rights and wrongs. He was super nice and professional the whole time and always kept me in the know of things. Not once did I ever feel like I hasn't made the right choice to who I hired. I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone.

Could Not Be Happier That I Made That Call!
Dan has been amazing. Not one text, email or phone call has ever gone unanswered and, believe me, there has been many. I couldn't be more happy or impressed with Dan. I struggle with Anxiety, Depression and PTSD and had been out of work for over a year. This left us in a very difficult position financially. I tried and tried to keep up but just kept getting further and further behind. I was in a panic. I didn't know where to turn. I went online desperately in search for help, and found Dan Cooke. I read his reviews and decided to give him a call. The idea of filing for bankruptcy was devastating for me. I felt so ashamed. Dan was very attentive. He was aware of my Anxiety, Depression and PTSD. He was so patient with me. He helped us understand that we weren't bad people just because we had a bad year financially. He gave us some hope. We can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. We have a fresh new start and the future looks so much brighter. Thank you Dan Cooke. I am so happy I made that initial call.

Great Lawyer
I hired Dan Cooke to be my lawyer and he was excellent. He explained things carefully and considerately. He led me through things step by step so I always knew exactly what to expect. His paperwork and communications were prompt. He was available for questions when I needed. I felt confident that he knew what he was doing and that he would guide me competently. A smart guy you can trust.

I never imagined it to be that easy!!
Before I decided to hire Dan to help me with my heaping debt, I had been struggling with the idea of bankruptcy and all of the extra things that come along with it. Besides Dan, I did contact a few other lawyers that specialized in bankruptcy, for a quote and free advice. Dan responded very promptly and offered the best price. After talking with him on the phone, I immediately decided to hire him and start the process. I never imagined that it would be that easy! Thanks to Dan, I am now debt free and starting to work on building my credit back up again.

Excellent BK Attorney
Dan was supportive and took a lot of time with my concerns. He is very organized and efficient. He stayed right on top of everything. Very mild mannered and calm.
This can be an intimidating process but he was very reassuring. Highly recommend Dan over the mega firms. Much more personal.

Awesome! Affordable and Helpful!
Dan was so helpful through my whole bankruptcy process- he made it painless and as quick as possible. Facing financial difficulties is embarrassing and can be a tough situation however he was supportive, understanding, knowledgeable and never judgemental. He was very affordable and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

From Beginning to End: Professional, Caring Service
Dan clearly explained the bankruptcy process and consequences. He also explained the role each of us would play during the process. After reviewing my documentation which I brought to our introductory meeting, Dan and I concluded that bankruptcy was the best choice for me. I hired Dan on the spot! Dan also offered me a discount due to my circumstances. We negotiated a payment plan, with Dan clearly explaining that the court related aspects of the process would not start until all his fees plus the filing fee were collected from me. What I liked is that Dan checked in with me by e-mail, phone and letter at key dates during the process. I like being consulted rather than just being told what to do. I like getting the "big picture" of what's happening -- context is important to me. Dan provided this communication promptly. Dan listens very well and is attentive, qualities that are important to me. As a result, my bankruptcy experience was calm and I was not ashamed that my life experiences brought me to bankruptcy. I can't say enough about the positive service Dan delivered to me. I would recommend Dan to anyone needing a bankruptcy lawyer. Thank you, Dan!

chapter 13
Dan Cooke made what was a painful personal decision to file bankruptcy as pleasant any experience could be. He took time to discuss everything that was going to happen, worked with my mortgage company to get a modification on my loan. I highly recommend using his services if anyone needs his help.

Pick Dan, he's your man,
Sorry the title my sound corny but I needed to grab your attention. With so many lawyers on the web it is hard to find one that stands out. I did talk 6 lawyers before picking Dan Cooke. First and foremost, you need a lawyer who returns your phone calls. I only had to leave 2 messages for Dan which he returned my calls in less than 1 hour! All the other times I called him, he answered the phone. He called me and let me know every step of the way, what was happening, how everything was progressing. Most of my calls to him where returning his phone calls. Everything went just how he said it would. He even called me 2 months after to see how I was doing and said if I needed anything else just give him a call. I'm guessing he had heard everything in the books being a bankruptcy lawyer, But when I talked to him he treated me as if everything I said to him was the first time he has heard it, and truly listened to everything I had to say. Never cut me off of rushed me in any way. Always made sure I understand everything. I am not proud of having to file, but I was left with no otner options. I do not leave comments just because; You need to really stand out and more than just a week or two. It's been 7 months and I still think very highly of him. For me that says "If you need a good honest and understanding lawyer call Dan Cooke". Thanks for your time and reading my review. Wish you all the best in your debt relief situation.
