Pros
1
The lawyer has a reputation for being a "bulldog" and tenacious in fighting for his clients' interests
“Jim is the BEST attorney in the area by far, since then I have referred him numerous times and have never had anyone tell me he was anything but awesome, A divorce is never a friendly thing and ladies and gentlemen when you have to get one you want a BULLDOG, and that's Jim Cooke.”
2
The lawyer and his staff are described as professional, responsive, and helpful in guiding clients through the legal process
“Mr Cooke and his staff were amazing in helping me with my child custody case. They were consistent in making sure my ex was held accountable for nonpayment, and violations of court orders. They also were very honest with me and what were rational expectations for my case.”
Cons
1
The lawyer is accused of billing issues, such as padding hours, overcharging, and lack of transparent billing practices
“Hack. Consulted and used. Over charged me. Padded hours and was unreachable during my court session. He gave everything to my ex husband.”
2
The lawyer is reported to be unprepared for court hearings, making deals without the client's knowledge, and not effectively advocating for the client's best interests
“He will say all these things in the meetings with you that he rushes to get out of and then on the day of court he makes deals with the other party benefitting them not you. I strongly do not recommend Mr. Cooke.”
3
The lawyer is described as difficult to reach, unresponsive to client calls and emails, and failing to follow up on promised actions
“He will never answer your phone calls or return your calls. He will tell his assistant to tell you he will call you back, but never once in the 1.5 years I worked with him did he call back.”
