James L. Cork II

When my ex-wife unexpectedly threw a “below the belt punch” when trying to receive custody of our son, I needed a no-nonsense, professional attorney. James stuck to the facts as he laid out all of my options. He refused to indulge in similar tactics as opposing counsel, and kept to his knowledge of... the law and professional courtroom etiquette. He knew when to urge me to negotiate, and when it was time to argue in front of the Judge. In the end, I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for me and my family. Not only did my son remain in the better home, my ex-wife ended paying my Attorney’s fees. It was a long exhausting case, but James kept a positive attitude, which helped boost my morale. James seemed to know when to be extra firm with me in order to help me make the best choices in one of the worse periods of my life. James Cork II, is not only an excellent attorney, but extremely patient and to the point as well. I would recommend him for any type of Family law. Thank you James!

When I finally realize my marriage was over, I was overwhelmed with the idea of finding an attorney. Through my research and word-of-mouth, I hired James. I am very much a first impressions kind of guy, and I can tell you, James won me over quickly. He was very professional, but personable, well hand...ling my difficult case with confidence and integrity. My divorce was quite challenging, with several major issues to resolve, but due to Jameses extensive experience, and broad knowledge of family law, we were able to resolve and ultimately win our positions. James was very thorough with his approach and since this was my first divorce he was very patient, as he walked me through the process, while always keeping my goals in mind. One thing that really impressed me with the James was his ability to never lose his bearing, and to always stay on task. He never lost sight of our position and worked hard to solidify our case throughout the entire process. In addition, his court room etiquette was impressive, and he tackled the fax with the right level of tenacity, and professionalism. At the end of the day, we won our positions and I was very ecstatic with the results. I would and actually have recommended James to others for any family law matter, and thus far his reputation precedes him. Thank you James!

Fromm, Smith and Gadow have a strong positive reputation for family law, and Mr. Cork definitely met those expectations. I was very pleased with the professionalism of James Cork. Throughout each process, James was quick to respond, giving me options to make good, educated decisions, which I did... not necessarily have with a previous attorney. James was able to read the situation, and was quick to point out some advantages that were not apparent to me prior. My Child now resides with me, and I feel that I could not have achieved that without James.

After hearing many positive reviews about Fromm, Smith, and Gadow, I decided to hire Mr. Cork to represent me in my divorce proceedings. I was impressed by how he handled my case with confidence and integrity. His extensive knowledge of Family Law was evident as he patiently walked me through each s...tep of the process careful to make sure I understood every aspect of my case. As his client, he always treated me with respect and dignity, and he never made me feel unsure or rushed. He was always professional and respectful towards me with just the right amount of effective aggressiveness in the courtroom. His diligent work on my case led to a judgement that fulfilled nearly every request I made. The day I hired Mr. Cork I remember feeling overwhelmed and defeated, but after nearly a year I signed my divorce decree in his office with confidence and a renewed sense of empowerment. Divorce can be devastating, but going through it with an attorney of Mr. Cork's caliber by my side allowed me to envision a positive, happy future and gave me the assurance that I will thrive in my newfound freedom. I know I walked out that day with a smile on my face. I would highly recommend Mr. Cork for any Family Law matter. He and his staff are absolutely amazing!

As a former Law Enforcement Officer, I have had many years of interaction with attorneys. James sets the bar at the highest level. His level of knowledge of family law is outstanding along with his courtroom demeanor. Between James and his Paralegal, Rhonda, I was never in the dark about the progr...ess of my case. James does NOT practice "motion practice" in an attempt to nickel and dime your account. He works the case as needed to win for you, the client, not for himself. As a result of what James did, I was able to get my full parenting rights re-instated. I would highly recommend James if you want a truly knowledgeable, professional attorney.
