Joan Eileen Cook

I hired Joan for some parenting plan issues I was having after my divorce. I hired her to help resolve the issues at hand. Instead what I got was an attorney that would tell me to contact my ex and try and resolve things that way instead of taking action on my behalf. After Joan saw the issues repeat...ing themselves, I asked to bring this in front of a judge. Joan dismissed my issues and problems and request to take the problems in front of a judge. Instead of putting an end to my issues, I struggled through an entire year with my ex payed several thousands of dollars in attorney fees only to be in the same place that I was in when I hired her. She was also very unprofessional at times when she got frustrated. Needless to say, I like anyone paying someone over $200/hr to do a job became frustrated with her lack of action and results. She eventually quit after milking my account for an entire year. A client is her customer and the one paying her and you'd think she would be professional enough not to get frustrated and mad at her customer who she is suppose to be helping and looking out for. Clearly not someone you want to go to when she doesn't care about you and your struggle and the battle when it comes to your children.

Joan was phenomenal! From the first meeting she was professional and showed concern for my situation. She was always straight forward and clear in what was the best direction to take in my case. I always felt like I was a priority and she was quick to answer any questions or concerns. She helped ...me navigate through a difficult situation and never faltered in her abilities. I owe her a great deal of gratitude for help in getting my kids back in a stable and safer environment.

She didn't not keep me informed about anything that was going on, made agreements with other parties lawyers a=without my approval! She informed us how procedures go in child visitation but didn't total opposite, which left me in shock as after doing much research from her work here and in another to...wn didn't expect this kind of service!

Joan did an excellent job representing me! She fought hard for me and my son and I feel she truly believes in my case. She understands the emotional piece to these kinds of cases and is sensitive to that. She is level-headed and practical as well and is always available to give her solid, trust-worth...y legal advice. I am so glad I was able to hire Joan as my attorney, after several negative and disappointing experiences with other attorneys. Only wish I had found her sooner!
