This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great lawyer

Errol is the real deal. His prices are right, he never overcharges you. He is honest and never let me down. I was so blessed to have him in my corner. I would recommend him to anyone out there.

He Reduced My Charges.

He got my DUI charge reduced basically to a reckless driving not involving alcohol and I only had to appear in court one time. I am very happy.

Extremely professional

Mr. Cook is extremely professional and understands criminal defense. When he walked in the courtroom it seems as if he knew everyone. He was greeted with a smile by even the prosecutors. I knew I didn't want to go to trial and I felt he'd have a good chance of getting me a fair deal. He got me a ...great deal.

Attorney Cook was very attentive to my needs. He always returned my phone calls, dressed professionally, seemed well-liked in the courtroom and new the law.

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.
