What Makes Us Different
You should know as much as possible about your attorney before you choose him/her.
- Personal attention
- Clients work with our attorneys on their case. You are not just a name and number with us.
- We do not represent insurance companies
- We represent injured victims and families who have lost loved ones due to the fault of others. We are 100% on your side.
- No pressure
- The staff of Cooke Law do not pressure clients to retain this law firm. Prospective clients are encouraged to "think it over." If we accept your case, we start processing your case immediately.
- Free information
- Information from our offices, whether over the phone, in person, in the yellow pages or in our brochures is free. We believe that prospective clients should be able to come to my office and discuss their case without charge.
- Full time legal assistants
- We have full-time personal injury legal assistants who help us on your case. When you call the office with questions, if we are not available, there are one or more Legal Assistants available and thus communication is better with clients. The Legal Assistants will be familiar with your case, so never hesitate discussing your case with them. Our Legal Assistants are trained and knowledgeable in the personal injury field and work with us and will work with you in matters related to your case.
- Regular attention to your case
- Your case will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis until resolved. We have regular case reviews to consider problems, evaluations, and strategies of each case.
- Valuable Resources
- We maintain a law library which emphasizes publications relating to personal injury and wrongful death type cases. The law changes in every field of law and we do everything possible to help us keep up to date with changes in the personal injury field.
- Client medical preparation
- We show you specially prepared materials as to insurance company doctor exams and what you should expect. Sometimes the Insurance Company wants our client to see "their doctor." We prepare our clients for "their doctor examination" with the help of written information of what you can expect. We have found that our clients learn quickly what they need to know before seeing the Insurance Company’s doctor. There are things that can be done to safeguard your case during "their doctor examination."
- Client courtroom preparation
- We show you specially prepared materials to help you if your case goes to court. We have presentations for our clients to see or hear to help them understand what it’s like to go to court and to be in front of a jury. In addition, we have materials to help our clients to be better prepared to give their sworn depositions and statements to the Insurance Company Attorneys. (This is only necessary if a lawsuit is filed.) Again, we have found that our clients enjoy these materials and learning how to conduct yourself in court is made a lot easier. We believe that if we spend the time to help our clients understand the trial process, then our clients will be more confident and we’ll get a much better result working together on your accident claim.
- Interaction
- You are encouraged to ask questions, and we often answer these questions before they are asked. However, never hesitate to ask questions about your case as we want our clients to be as informed as possible.
- Settlements are your choice
- We will not settle your case without your permission; in fact, you will be informed of each and every offer of settlement from the insurance company as the offer of settlement is given. We discuss fully the settlement offer and most particularly, whether or not the settlement offer is fair and reasonable.
- Payment benefits assistance
- We help our clients process their health and auto medical payment benefits at no charge. In addition, we negotiate liens with health insurance companies to reduce the payback to the lien holder at no extra charge to you. The savings are passed on to you.
