About Russell
Biography
I represent employees in a wide variety of employment disputes, including unpaid overtime cases, retaliation cases, whistleblower cases, and discrimination cases. My practice is almost exclusively based on this type of work, and I am Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Further information regarding my background and qualifications may be found on my firm's website.
I practice in this area of law because I enjoy representing and working with individuals. My goal is to provide guidance and support to employees who are trying to seek a just result in a workplace dispute. I believe in providing a voice to employees and standing up for them in protecting their workplace rights.

Russell Scott Cook's Lawyer Endorsements
"I strongly recommend Scott Cook for any employment law matters. I have known Scott for over 10 years and he is one of the smartest lawyers I have met. He started his career as a law clerk to a Federal Judge, which is remarkable honor in the legal profession (I would guess only .0001% of new lawyers get to be Federal clerks). He has since developed a very successful practice in employment law. I have referred him clients dealing with employment issues to him and he has treated them with the utmost respect and care. I have personally seen him work wonders on lawsuits and win many very difficult cases. He is top notch. I would not use any other lawyer for employment issues."
"Mr. Cook is an excellent attorney who cares about his clients and works vigorously to protect their rights."
"I endorse Scott Cook without reservation. Scott's expertise in Employment Law matters from whistle-blower retaliation, discrimination, and F.M.L.A. violations, to breach of employment contracts and trade secret issues has led to his success in litigation in State and Federal courtrooms throughout the State of Texas. His friendly, personable demeanor is matched only by his character and integrity. He is a formidable counselor and ally both in and out of the courtroom. I strongly recommend him."
