David Henry Cook

After working with David for over 8 months, I highly recommend him for his contract and negotiation expertise. David provided sound, seasoned advice regarding our leases and the tenor of the commercial real estate market. David is a logical thinker who takes the time to understand the client's nee...ds, make strategic recommendations and successfully implement those strategies. Will work with him again in the future.

We have worked with David Cook in obtaining personal and business legal guidance for three years. In everything from setting up our estate, reviewing our business policies, and guiding us through friendly and non friendly employee negotiations, David has always given us comfort and confidence in our... decisions. Never underestimate the importance of having someone on your team who understands legal vernacular. With the varied and complex issues involved in running a business, having his general guidance has been critical to our success. We appreciate having Mr. Cook and his unbiased (and informed) insight on our side of the table.

David represented my wife and I in the acquisition of a business. He worked very effectively under a demanding timeline on the deal. David is detail oriented and persistent. He provided counsel on all facets of the transaction, but took great care in coaching us toward where we needed his help, an...d what we could do on our own. He is very responsive and kept us informed at regular intervals. David understands what it takes to get a deal to fruition, and keeps that goal in mind in the way he works and the positions he suggests. We would highly recommend David for business purchase/sale transactions.

I met David through a mutual friend. I was impressed by his attention to detail from the start and his ability to listen. I had encountered a few obstacles with my business partner and David was spectacular in resolving the hang ups in this deal and protecting my interests. He always provided soun...d advice and direction. His ability to respond quickly via email / phone or in person was superb. His knowledge of corporate structure, tax details and the nuts and bolts of the business in looking at the balance sheets etc was excellent. Through all of this he maintained a great sense of humor and was fun to work with. I will continue to use David for future business endeavors.

We own a winery and had received advice from a few other people regarding its eventual sale prior to being introduced to David. I am impressed with David's breadth of legal and business knowledge. He is the only person I've met who I trust to lead us through this process. He communicates clearly in a... down to earth manner and has been very timely in responding to our requests. I would recommend him highly and without reservation.
