Fantastic Title IX Lawyer

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.

DO NOT HIRE! ONE STAR IS TOO MUCH!

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.

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.
