Cook team, great job. Thanks!!!

Cook and his team left me with no worries. I was hit by a truck making a u turn. I called Cook and explained to him my concerns. He set me up with all the help I needed to start my healing. The rest of the team was amazing. Andrea, and Judy kept in touch with me throughout the process. Kyle did a gre...at job, getting my car fixed. Ryan was very knowledgeable, and clearly explained to me how the process was going whenever I asked. I am truly appreciative of Judy, and how sincere she was during my recovery. You could tell she cared. Overall the Cook team surpassed my expectations, and I received compensation well over what I expected. Thank all of you so much. Jeff

Paralegal Dave Carlson was timely and excellent

Paralegal Dave Carlson was such an excellent lawyer on my case. I had selected this law office after an internet search and was very , very pleased with his service. I received an excellent settlement. Sorry this recommendation is delayed. I wish Dave well in the future.

Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

highly recommend Jimmy Cook and his law firm if you are involved in a traffic accident. I was hit by a semi-truck on the I10 freeway at a high rate of speed and was subsequently hit by two other vehicles. As I sat in the ER I saw Jimmy Cook's commercial and immediately did a review of his former cli...ents and researched how other lawyers rated him. His reviews were excellent and his handling of my case has proved he has earned those high reviews. He not only gives you his cell phone number but he takes the time to listen to you and your concerns and sets your mind at ease through a very stressful time. He was always available to talk to me and his staff treats you the same way. When it came to the medical care I needed I was frustrated with my insurance company's providers, high deductibles and out of pocket costs and Jimmy provided me with alternate providers that were cost effective or accepted my insurance so I had no out of pocket costs. These providers took the time to explain every aspect of my care and provided me with excellent treatment. After recovering from back surgery and completing my treatments the opposing insurance company tried to say that my injuries were pre-existing even though I had no prior medical issues whatsoever. Jimmy fought to get them to recognize that if not for the accident, I would not have the injuries I sustained. My settlement was more than I expected and I am very happy with the outcome and how I was treated during the entire process.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
