I thought to be an attorney you have to know the difference between right and wrong?

I hired this guy for my divorce and wow what a mistake! Never use him unless you want to be swindled. I gave him $9500 for my divorce. What I got for the $9500 was I had to turn him in to the Supreme Court of Attorney Regulations as he pretty much ran off with my money and did nothing for that mon...ey. He doesn't send an accounting of time, he doesn't call you back, he doesn't do anything really. Just steals your money. He should be ashamed of himself. The bottom of the barrel truly. What happened to me was horrible and then he kicked me when I was down. Despicable person.

Amazing job on a very contentious case

My ex wife and I had split up a few years prior, and when i remarried my ex claimed that I had not followed the Court Orders and that we needed to moidify them. Given the fact that we had children together, it was a very sticky situation, as we could not agree on anything during mediation, or outside... of the courtroom. Mr. Cook was able to use his knowledge of the courts, and nuances in small aspects that I never thought would have made a difference, to tip the scales in my favor early on in the case. From there his preparation paid off well in the courtroom, and after many court visits, I won the majority of decision making and custody of my children. I don't believe this would have been possible without the saavy and knowledge Mr Cook brought to my case.

A lawyer that cares

I hired Zack to represent me in a divorce with my wife. I have had many friends that have experienced a lawyer that has not worked for their best interest and only cared for one thing and that is money. And so I was lucky to find attorney Zack Cook , whom was kind, caring and out most professional. W...hen I told Zack that I was not sure if this was what I really wanted to do and wanted to reconcile we my wife, I thought that Zack would say you need to get divorced, but far from the truth, Zack never stepped out of being the professional. He then asked me if this was what I wanted to do and when I said yes I want to work it out with my wife, he was actually delighted for me. Today I am very happily married and my wife and I were blessed with a baby boy. I think people rush into getting a divorce because some lawyers just want another win or think that things are worse then they really are and don’t think they can work it out. Thank you Zack for being a professional beyond words.

The

Tenacious, strategic, passionate, caring, aggressive, determined, open to my suggestions and attentive to my needs. Mr. Cook challenged me to THINK beyond my feelings. He explained the legal process thoroughly so that I never felt uncomfortable with what I was going through. His strategic approach wa...s evident to me all along, but it was amazing to see how it all played out in court: his usual sweet big bear self gives way to a pit bull whose attention to detail, no-holds-barred advocacy, and relentless pursuit of justice resulted in my getting my child back. Mr. Cook is well on his way to becoming one of the premier divorce attorneys in our State!
