Reviews for Cathy
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.My wife and I retained Cathy Cook after numerous recommendations from former and current clients, as well as speaking with several local attorneys familiar with her work. I cannot say enough positive things about her performance, responsiveness, and overall ability in our case. Ours was a particularly difficult case and Ms. Cook took the time to explain everything in detail and worked tirelessly to provide us with the outcome we were seeking. AAA plus rating!!!
Cathy was very knowledgeable in all areas of my case. She provided excellent advice and I always felt she had my best interests as her first priority. Her negotiation skills and attention to detail are exceptional. I highly recommend Cathy Cook.
I was relieved, empowered and knew my options after my free initial consult with Cathy. Since I retained her, Cathy has been right there, on my side, just picking out the laws and legal custom that are relevant to my case, and avoiding anything that isn’t absolutely useful. Once Cathy responded to a question I asked by saying, “We’ve discussed this before. I don’t want to take your money.” Cathy seems to me temperamentally direct, honest, efficient, effective and frugal with my money.
Cathy is a real fighter for her clients. I felt like more than a pay check whenever I had contact with her or her staff. When I needed her most, I felt like she stood up for me and put herself between me and the parties that were adverse to my case. Cathy helped me stay focused on my child's best interest and gave me what I considered to be top shelf advice. She got me through a very difficult time. I would refer even other legal professionals. Her billing is the fairest I have experienced.
Best lawyer, smart, caring personal.
Cathy is a very honest, hard working, cut to the chase attorney. She always was focused on the interest of my children. Cathy and her staff always have very prompt responses to phone calls and emails. She fought very hard for my situation and I would recommend her any one who is need of legal council.
Cathy Cook is rude, pompous & showed no concern for me as a client. The billing is questionable, and if you do call to question it - youre billed for that TOO! She was not timely in follow up and, as a result, I was unable to file objections. The associate that represented me left her firm & I was never informed. I'm now stuck with THOUSANDS in fees and have nothing to show for it.
Sounded annoyed that I was calling every time we spoke, even though she was billing me for the time (and rude!). Her paralegal screwed up sending paperwork to my ex's attorney, while billing me $125/hr for the services. Did NOTHING for me in the way of child support other than have her paralegals fill out forms--even showed up to court, walked right past me, and had to have me paged because she didn't know who I was. She took THAT little of interest in my case. I would NOT recommend using her!!
She took almost no interest in my case - Contempt of Court, just told me I was wrong and pay whatever my ex-wife was asking for. With another lawyer I was able to settle for less than half of what Ms. Cook told me to pay. She was very slow to respond to my questions and basically did absolutely nothing for me. All she did was take my money.
