Hiring JR Cook as my attorney is one of the best decisions I've ever made. This guy fought for me and was always there no matter what when I had questions or concerns. Although I know that he has many other clients.....he always made me feel like his number one priority! If anyone is going through a divorce I would recommend JR every time!
There is no better divorce attorney than JR Cook. He represents with upmost excellence, honesty, and integrity. He puts his clients first and is highly responsive. He is open and sets the reasonable expectation in the process. He and his firm are professional and caring. He walked my family through a difficult time when we needed a confident attorney to protect or family's future. JR was exactly the answer for our family during this struggle. He brought is peace, confidence, and relief from stress. JR Cook is worth it! Let him help you with your family issue today. We hope to not need an attorney again in the future. But if we do, JR Cook is our man!
J.R. Was strategic and aggressive with my case and I could not be any more pleased with how it was handled. Is office is wonderful and it is clear everyone looks to J.R. with complete confidence. I completely understand why he is so respected and achieved so many awards! He is certainly THE BEST!
I was not prepared for divorce, I was in denial and shock. However, JR showed compassion along with the stern advice I needed at times. He was available to answer questions, explained processes and acted on my behalf when I was not emotionally detached enough to make the best decisions for myself . He truly embodies the role of advisor and counselor and his attention to detail has protected me and my future. I am grateful to him and his staff for being the support and help I needed in my worst time. Divorce is a serious matter and I couldn’t imagine a better outcome with anyone else as my guide and legal counsel.
My husband and I were served a custody petition from my children’s biological father requesting 50%-50% (7 years after we separated). I interviewed several attorneys in our area, and came to to find Page & Cook through a referral from another law firm in our area. From the first call to the the office, they were quick to run through my case details, set up an appointment, and arrange a meeting between myself and JR.Cook. Through the entire process we were educated specifically about the laws/codes pertaining to our case specifically, and advised quickly as such-without hesitation. After completing mediation, unsuccessfully and proceeding to trial I can without a question know that we picked the ideal attorney to represent us. JR was quick with facts, and gifted with questions enlightening the judge on what myself, and most importantly my children have dealt with through the past 7 years. I am not going to say that “we won” because no child custody trial is really a “win” if you ask me. I will say that the results were Overwhelmingly in OUR favor. Mr. Cook managed to to get every detail of what we requested worked into our parenting plan, and issues that we have been dealing with for YEARS have been acknowledged by the court and placed as parenting guidelines moving forward. I can not thank this law firm enough, I would not hesitate to hire JR again tomorrow, should any future issues arise.
J.R. Cook represented me in a long and hard-fought battle for nearly a year. My ex-wife attempted to take our daughter and move more than 5 states away with her and justified this by downplaying my role as a loving father. With Mr. Cook at my side, not only was ex-wife denied relocation, but as a bonus we were able to revise a current parenting plan in my favor and I was granted even more parenting time. J.R. Cook is aggressive and the lengths he goes to fight for you will make your head spin. His knowledge and expertise in family law and level of professionalism sets the bar so high that it should cause other law firms to look up and be inspired. Hire this gentleman and rest easy knowing that he's fair, dependable, honest, and will get the job done.
I would recommend Jr Cook to anyone who wants to have justices for what is right. He has stepped in to a large mess called my life and has done an absolutely fantastic job handling it. He has always lead me in the right direction to what I should do and how to handle it. I can say he is worth what you pay and more. You message him and will have a message back in no time. He keeps you informed every step of they way. I have used other lawyer but he stands above the rest by all measures.
I'm retired, on Social Security with a pension and was going through a divorce after 43 years of marriage. I hired Mr. Cook and could not be more pleased with the way he handled everything. He made the whole experience so easy for me. He was able to save my pension, and I ended up not having to give my ex wife nearly as much alimony as she wanted. Plus, he was very reasonable. I paid a flat fee and that was it. If you want someone on your side that will get you the best outcome, James Cook is the guy to do it. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone who needs legal counsel. Even other attorney's give him 5 stars, that should tell you something.
Mr. Cook worked quickly to bring a positive resolution to my case. Most importantly, he did what he said he would do and met the deadlines that he promised to meet. I have had 4 other attorneys in the East TN area over the past 15 years and I cannot say the same about any of my past experiences with counsel. In the future, Mr. Cook will be my first contact should I ever require legal representation again.
J.R. is a well organized, prepared attorney! He helped me with my case and I knew I was in great hands. He responded quickly to any and all questions I had, he was very knowledgeable about current case law and had a well thought out, aggressive approach. He is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you J.R.!
