A lawyer to avoid

I hired this lawyer for the wrong reason - because his fees were the lowest. I learned the hard way that you always get what you pay for. I think I would have done better in court by myself. This lawyer went to court and looked like it was his first time in the building. In the end he did nothing for... me except stand next to me when the judge found me guilty. Next time I will be smart. You should learn from my bad experience and avoid this lawyer at all costs.

AVOID

In 2007, I gave $2500 to Mr. Cook to prepare conservatorship papers for my mother. This is the last time I heard from him. I asked for the retainer to be returned since no work was done. Reeceived no reply.He seems to be missing a code of ethics.

He is a great attorney

I needed my wills done before taking a trip abroad the next day (I was reminded by my travel agency at the last minute). I called this law office and they got my wills done and delivered to me in person the next day (3 hours before my taking off time). Attorney Cook is one of the most professional at...torneys that I have ever used. Highly recommend this lawyer.

Attorney.. OR not?

this attorney never calls back, an office worker "Tom" always answser's the phone saying Attorney Peter isn't in today nor is "Brian" (must be the Paralegal) Tom reply is always it's my understanding the paperwork is being processed, this has been going on for over 2 years, it's a simple case and thi...nk this Attorney is incapable of handling it, it just filing paperwork the proper legal way,I think this Atttorney is in it for the initial up front payment then drags the case out forever till the client gets so fustraded they just drop the case or hire another Attorney, it's over 2 years and still waiting.. i think it's time to contact the NJ Bar to file a complaint. email me before you consider using this attorney..

Highly Recommend Peter Cook

Five years ago when I was looking to establish a small business I turned to Peter Cook to help me through the process. I constantly rely on Peter to provide sound tax advice as he is very knowledgeable in personal and corporate tax planning.
