Jace defended me against 2 felony charges and saved me from not just an unjust imprisonment but also very likely deportation. I am very happy to say that the charges dropped and the case is dismissed. In addition to his guidance in the courtroom, he went above and beyond in helping me prepare and cope with the situation during the trial period. He graciously helped me with personal item recovery which allowed me to keep my job.
I would strongly recommend Jace with the highest recommendations.
Jace was there when I needed him. This was my first experience with a personal injury claim. Jace carefully walked me through the entire process. He communicated well. He listened, but also offered expert advice. He went the extra mile to get me compensation that surpassed my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.

Jace D. Cook, Esq., is the founder, manager, and a shareholder of COOK LAW - There when you need it.® After spending several years gaining experience in multiple disciplines of the law, Mr. Cook envisioned a practice that would treat clients like family by providing a combination of personable legal advice and the strongest representation possible in criminal defense. Having worked as a public defender at Multnomah Defenders Inc. and as a criminal defense associate for former prosecutor, now veteran criminal defense attorney, John Gutbezahl, Mr. Cook has successfully tried misdemeanor, felony, and restraining order cases before judges and juries. Prior to his work in criminal defense, Mr. Cook gained significant experience at general practice law firms, personal injury firms, and in-house legal departments. Mr. Cook learned what did and did not work...what did and did not benefit the client. From his time working with former prosecutors, Mr. Cook has an inside track on many of the procedures and strategies employed by DA offices in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties. Based on the above foundation of "real world" experiences and knowledge, Mr. Cook built COOK LAW.

Highly Recommend, knowledgable, and personable!
Brilliant! Ability to ascertain legal issues, and explain potential outcomes in understandable language. Mr.Cook is personable, knowledgable, and eager to research and flesh out legal details, if need be. Unlike most attorneys, Mr.Cook actually picks up the phone, even after hours, and takes time to ask the right questions to be able to understand, and explain legal matters with your best interests at heart.

Recommendation letter
He takes action immediately and takes care of the situation without waisting any time (as you know these types of situations are on a time clock and wait for no one). He creates multiple strategies towards victory; in case plan A does not work, plan B is ready to continue pressing in. No matter what the opposition said, he had a counterargument for every objection. Not only did he have a defense plan made but also stood in the offense for his client while being respectful of the other side. He is polite and adds to the value of the a lawyer's work; he fights against the problems not against the individual.

Couldn't be happier.
I hired Mr, Cook for my DUI case. When The state of Oregon was denying me Diversion I became fearless of a positive outcome. Jace not only helped me understand what it was I was going up against, he gave his expertise and knowledge and got me the best outcome possible and I was awarded diversion. He also was able to get me a great plea deal to amended a charge to a violation. I definitely recommend Jace Cook!

Top Criminal Defense Attorney
Mr. Cook defended me in two jury trials and two motion to suppress evidence hearings. I was acquitted in the first jury trial of my felony charge and the jury was hung on the misdemeanor charge. In the second jury trial, the prosecutor was clearly frustrated at having lost the first trial, and even threatened to call Mr. Cook as a witness in the case, but he never backed down. Mr. Cook was like a rock. He submitted another motion to suppress evidence and was fully prepared for the trial. Mr. Cook kept my life from being destroyed and kept me from possibly losing my liberty. I give him my highest recommendation.

"I endorse this lawyer.
Jace Cook is a dedicated trial lawyer that sincerely cares about his clients and securing them a favorable outcome. Seldom are trial lawyers professional, humble, and confident, yet Jace sets a precedent to be just that. I have seen him go toe to toe with some of the most difficult Deputy District Attorneys in a very troublesome county, not only did he win, but remained a professional."
