Jonathan A Cook

Jonathan helped me navigate an extremely difficult sanction for me. He got me my life back. He was attentive, helpful, informative and compassionate. He explained everything to me that I didn't understand and constantly helped me and kept me informed. Look no further. He is the best man for the job. ...

I had hired Jonathan after my hearing went less than desired and was in the middle of the appeal process. Jonathan then went above and beyond and calmed me when I was in a desperate situation. He held my hand through every step of the way and made an appeal that was air-tight and that would help me w...in my case. He was available at all times of the day and would answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Jonathan as he is well versed in Academic courts.

I am an attorney and my son was charged with a serious Title IX violation at a college in Virginia last year which could have caused him to be expelled from school. A fellow attorney recommended Jonathan and he immediately returned my call when I initially contacted him. Jonathan was very professio...nal and he promptly returned every call, email or text including at night and on the weekends. He provided amazing counsel to me and my son as we navigated through the process which included an investigation and a hearing. Thanks to Jonathan's efforts my son was found not in violation of the code of conduct at his school, and he was not disciplined. Jonathan literally and figuratively saved my son's life and future.

No one in my family/community has achieved even 10% of what I have achieved. "a role model/figure" to some. A responsibility I never intended to have but respected.....and I was about to lose 20 years of that hard work and dedication in a very prominent field. You can only imagine the anxiety. I was ...misdirected by my university and was always in the dark. I hired Jon, and I got exceptional high-class work done. He is patient, detail oriented and managed the situation very efficiently. What I like most of all is his open communication - answering calls and emails promptly. He understood my busy schedule and did most of the follow ups (which took the pressure off me). I highly recommend this skilled stalwart with no reservations. Get your life back with Jon.

I contacted Jonathan Cook in January 2019 to assist with an academic misconduct accusation that, if left unresolved, would prevent me from graduating from college in May 2019. It took weeks before he so much as made a phone call on my behalf. He seldom returned my phone calls or emails. He made mul...tiple excuses for his inability to mount a legal defense for me. I was in a desperate situation when I hired Mr. Cook. He was very enthusiastic at our initial and only meeting. He immediately proved himself to be an insufficient counselor, lacking effort to work on my behalf. The expertise he brought to the table at our meeting was suddenly non-existent. Once I hired Mr. Cook I was made to feel like a nobody with the disinterest he took in my case. Weeks turned into months and time ran out for me to vindicate myself. It would please me enormously if I could rate him with a zero, as the lowest rate on this scale does not do Mr. Cook justice. I could have faced my school's student conduct and dispute resolution office without his legal "representation" and faced the consequences in a better light than I did with his inadequate, non-existent defense.
