Mr. Forest Cook was a godsend to me, and he represented me in my divorced this past year. He inspired confidence that I needed to make it through one of the most trying times in my life. During this time, one can be very frazzled and weak. Mr. Cook did nothing, but fill be with encouragement and advice. His confidence made me feel at peace and it was easy to trust him, even when trust was a serious issue for me at this point of time. He provided creative solutions that have helped me become a better parent in addition to sound, realistic family legal advice. I never felt like Mr. Cook held any sort of judgment against me or any of my views, opinions, or actions. When one is going through a divorce, one can have 100% support from friends and family, or one can have no support at all. Forest provided all the support that I needed; legally and emotionally. He put my child first and worked tirelessly on my case to ensure the best possible outcome. His tactile handling of my divorce was smooth and professional. Forest is an excellent communicator. He was truly clear and concise. He educated me during the beginning, middle, and final steps of the process. He followed up on emails and phone calls in a timely matter and even put aside his personal time to meet with me. Going through this divorce was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I am so grateful that I had Forest Cook by my side throughout the process. His sound advice saved me a lot of money, time, and heartache. I am truly appreciative to have had such an experienced lawyer representing me in my divorce. I highly recommend Mr. Forest Cook!

I hired Mr. Cook to assist me in dealing with my tenants and in dealing with the City regarding a commercial piece of property. Not only is Mr. Cook knowledgeable about the law in this area, but he is practical and approaches the issues with a good sense of humor! We have had to meet with our tenants when they were not following the lease terms, and we’ve had to meet with the City when they have proposed changes that affect our property. In every case, Mr. Cook has worked on my behalf to settle issues without having to go to court by using logic, reason and a true desire to find a workable solution for everyone involved. He keeps me informed of the progress of an issue and has always been patient with me and my endless questions – to which he has the answers! I recently sold this property, and Mr. Cook handled the closing in his office. It was the easiest closing I’ve ever done. I’m happy to recommend Mr. Cook for your real estate needs.

I rarely spend the time to review someone but for Forest Cook I simply had to. After having to switch legal counsel a few times in a rather contentious and very complex (multiple properties here and abroad) divorce, I can only be grateful to have found The right lawyer to lean on during the most difficult time in my life. They say the number one complaint people with the need to hire one will have, is: “my lawyer is not spending enough time on my case”. Well, that might ring true with many and seem that way, at times, but with Forest’s long time legal expertise and remarkable capacity to read people, one thing is certain: results! You will not regret having this guy in your corner!

I hired Forest Cook to represent me in an employment contract with another law firm; his guidance, advice, and participation in my case brought us through court successfully and beyond my expectations. Since then, he has skillfully led me through writing a will, establishing a trust for my family, and negotiating benefits for a non-profit that is dear to me. Rarely can a person say they gained a sincere friendship with their lawyer, but I can attest to that possibility. I am thankful I had and still have Forest in my corner. I highly recommend.

I am very impressed with Forrest Cooks knowledge and straight forward approach to the lawsuit that was filed against me. Mr. Cook was a good listener and made sure I understood and was prepared for every step of the case. He was very informative through the whole process. I learned through Mr. Cook's example that there is a difference in being a lawyer and a lawyer with experience that actually knows the law. The knowledge he brought to the courtroom did not seem to be known by the younger plaintiff attorney. Yes, he won the case for me :-) Thank you, Mr. Cook. I will be recommending others to you.

Mr. Cook was an excellent attorney for me. He handle my modification for child support & visitation with professionalism & caring. Him & his assistant were always helpful & reassuring. He took time to make sure I understood everything for every step of the process. If your looking for an attorney who will fight for you & your child he is the one you need on your side.

I was referred by a friend of mine to Forest last year and hired Forest to close out a three year custody battle- Order in Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship. There were multiple meditated agreements that needed to be combined, etc. My ex tried to come back for more child support after we mediated three times in a three year period. To make a long story short, Forest shut it down very quickly which saved me thousands of dollars and many headaches. Forest's staff was also very easy to work with and kept me in the loop during the case. I would highly recommend Forest for any family issues you might have.

The first time I walked into Mr. Cook & Carol's office I was nervous & scared. I walked out relieved, calm, confident, happy I had secured a great man as my lawyer, and I had two new friends.

Mr. Cook handled my divorce proceedings was absolutely wonderful! His kindness, knowledge, and professionalism made this difficult process bearable. He and his paralegal (Carol) were always prompt and courteous and I walked away from the ordeal knowing the best interest of myself and my child were always of the utmost importance to them. I will definitely seek the services of Mr. Cook should I ever need legal services again!

I am so grateful we stumbled upon Forest and Carol during our child custody/ support modification legal battle. They are an amazing team and you truly feel like you are a part of a family. Forest and Carol were prompt, thorough, and accurate throughout the entire process. They made us feel like our legal issue was just as important to them as to us. They took time to go the extra mile in preparation. They both knew our case inside and out and were always available should any unexpected issue arise. They went above and beyond our expectation. Forest knows the law and stays educated on the law. He treats all parties with respect and keeps focused on the best interest of the family. I cannot say enough about our experience with Forest and Carol. I highly recommend!

I hired Forest for my second attorney in a child modification case. I interviewed several and decided on Forest which was a huge relief. He and Carol (his paralegal) are great at what they do. They spend a lot of time paying attention to concerns, always answer the phone, keep you updated, and both are honest. They genuinely care about their clients as people and the cases they work on. If I would have known about Forest the first time I had to hire an attorney I would have hired him without hesitation even being a single mom paying for this myself. I can tell you I've had more peace since hiring Forest than I have had in over 2 years. If I ever have to go through this experience again Forest will be my attorney of choice! I will be forever grateful for he and Carol more than I can ever put into words!!
