Great trusts and estates litigation attorney

I hired Mr. Cook on a $30 million trust in the states case. First, Mr. Cook obtained much needed medical records involving six years of the decedents life. Then he retained appropriate expert to help us evaluate those records. This resulted in a prompt resolution of the case. Mr. Cook was all so the... most responsive attorney I have ever known, returning all phone calls and emails promptly .

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Walter is an avid advocate for his clients, yet he remains cordial and professional. He has the rare ability (these days) to negotiate settlements with opposing counsel directly, fairly, and without the need for a third party such as a mediator."

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.
