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

Best attorney!!

I and my family have suffered through a nasty divorce custody battle and I have hired and fired several attorneys . A bad attorney can ruin your case and more importantly your life Given all my experience with so many attorneys, Jimmy has been by far the best! I have had to bother him after hours and... he will shoot me a quick email. His communication can't be beat. He has been very honest with his opinions of what we can win and can't. He does a great job of staying on top of things and being realistic. My case is a very tough and tricky case and he has been open to work with others so I and my family have the best outcome. I would give him more stars if I could.

A great family attorney!

I was recommended to Jimmy by a professional Paralegal. I was going to try and represent myself but after talking with Jimmy he made it quite clear what I was up against. Jimmy was incredibly professional and extremely well prepared. He took my case on short notice and worked with me to ensure I u...nderstood the process. While in court Jimmy made the other attorney look like they were arguing their first case. Throughout the entire process Jimmy and his staff kept me up to date and informed of everything. Jimmy saved me thousands of dollars. He's a great lawyer and a great person.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
