Nicest guy ever

He really worked hard on my case and got unexpected result. Punctual, efficient and friendly while professional.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr. Christopher Cooke, Esq.

I had the privilege of being represented in a couple of important legal cases by Mr. Cooke. In my extensive experience with various lawyers during the past decades, I came to the conclusion that Mr. Cook is not only an extraordinarily competent and polished advocate, but he also always demonstrated o...utstanding level of personal integrity in all his dealings with me. Without any reservation, I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a seasoned and qualified lawyer.

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.
