I will never use Cooke Law firm again and I would not recommend Chris Cooke to anyone. Before I hired Mr. Cooke, I met with him (over a year ago) and asked him questions. The main one was, how much would my case cost? Chris told me it wouldn't cost more than $2800 after court fees (I realize now, I should have gotten that in writing). I was under the impression his retainer fee ($2500) would go toward services rendered and then would get billed out once that money was used up. I found out later that the $2500 retainer was JUST the fee to hire him (which was never disclosed to me). He also told me this would only take about 4 months to finish, the orders were finalized a year and 2 months later and over $3700 was paid to him. I would also call the office to speak to Chris and I think I only ever received a call back once maybe twice (in a year). The paralegals had very poor attitudes and didn't seem to care about helping us. I didn't feel like I was priority for them at any point and I wish I had done more research on attorneys, but I thought my time was limited. read more
