University Appeal For Code of Conduct Violation

I initially contacted Jonathan for a consultation regarding an urgent code of conduct issue involving my son at his university. Not only did Jonathan return my call within an hour, he easily understood our dilemma and offered valuable counsel. As part of the appeal process, we engaged Jonathan to ass...ist with our effort where he provided sound guidance and stayed with us every step of the way. Given the very tight timeline, the amount of information required for the appeal and the overall anxiety we were dealing with, Jonathan was able to quickly pull together a very cohesive and compelling strategy. In the end, we prevailed on the appeal and my son is now in the process of completing his education. I am very pleased with the outcome in large part because of Jonathan.

Do Not Hire (Tried to take my retainer slyly)

I hired this attorney, he got me probation for a minor weed charge, which fine, it was a second offense, but I kept him on retainer for the time I was on probation. He goes and tries to take my retainer basically by charging me hundreds of dollars for "email communication" and "consulting with Wu abo...ut [my] case". My court case was over in October, I got a years probation, these bills were from January through May and they did not come until September because they were "behind on their billing schedule". I terminated my service with them immediately and am in the process of getting my retainer and other money back.

Professional | Successful | Dedicated

I hired Jon to represent me in a matter recently and could not have been more pleased with the outcome. He was knowledgeable, professional, and he handled the entire case flawlessly. I was in a tough spot and really needed my hand held through the process and he was there for me every step of the w...ay. Jon clearly had done thorough research on the subject and was able to obtain a successful outcome for me. He's fantastic and I highly recommend him.

Great lawyer!

Mr. Cook represented me in a juvenile proceeding and was able to get the charge dismissed. Very Professional, and got the job done. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to represent me as my lawyer.

A True Professional

If I had one word to describe Jon, it would be professional. To me, there is no question he is an absolute subject matter expert in his field. But in addition to that, he is thoughtful, friendly, and extremely thorough. Jon was knowledgeable in every aspect of my case, and it should go without saying..., made sure the desired outcome was achieved. Worth every penny.
