Christine Sue Cook, LLC

Highly Recommend — 6 Stars I’ve had a great experience working with Christine Cook and her office over the past 16 months. Family law can be overwhelming and emotional, and hiring an attorney is a big step. When your family is on the line, you want to feel confident that your investment is being taken seriously and handled with care. With Christine, I never doubted that for a moment. She is, first and foremost, incredibly knowledgeable in her field. She’s persistent, organized, and always keeps her client’s best interests at the forefront. Christine is honest, upfront, and grounded in strong personal ethics and professional standards. This is rare and invaluable in this field. My case involved an excessive amount of paperwork from opposing counsel, far more than necessary, however Christine and her team remained calm, meticulous, and fully organized from beginning to end. Every courtroom appearance was handled with exceptional preparation. By the time we reached the final hearing, I felt calm and confident because of the work they had done to prepare; not just themselves, but me as well. The office was also impressively responsive. Despite knowing I wasn’t their only client, they always returned calls, emails, and messages in a timely manner, and made me feel prioritized. Let’s face it, working with a lawyer through a family matter is stressful. But having someone in your corner who truly cares and respects the gravity of your situation makes all the difference. Christine is that person. Genuine, loyal, ethical, and deeply committed to her work and her clients. I will absolutely be utilizing her exceptional services again if ever needed. She’s the attorney I’d want in my corner—every time.

Heed the warning of other negative reviews, this office will not care about actually winning your case and only care about billing you for it. Working with this office has been incredibly frustrating and a steady let down every step of the way. The consultation was full of false promises and lies in an effort to collect the retainer and then be completely ignored for a full month. Even when bringing up frustration in lack of effort they will respond by telling you it’s pointless to complain because will just bill you for reading the email. The other review claiming “money hungry” was spot on. I tried to even just get to meet someone to go over paperwork I wasn’t comfortable filling out myself and they set a time to be at the office. I showed up and nobody was there- it wasn’t until later in the day that I got a call with a list of excuses as to why I was ghosted. Which you will be completely ignored or ghosted a lot, and they will always have the type of excuse that makes you a bad person for speaking up. I did use this office for trial which was fueled by complete chaos and disarray as she was not remotely organized. The day before the trial they canceled the trial prep and said they would be ready for the trial the next day. She was not….at all. She was frantically high lighting and going through papers to try to keep up. So unorganized that she was even telling me to submit documents for evidence minutes before the judge walks in, I truly wish I was exaggerating. Miss cook even said herself that’s she’s overwhelmed which is entirely from her lack of time management and preparation. Then when the trial actually began her opening statement was her throwing her hands up and saying she hopes she did everything right because her assistant was out. What a great first impression from the judge right? Meanwhile the other side(McKenzie law firm) was very ready, completely organized, and focused. The McKenzie law firm did a great job and truly showed the difference between a professional and a phony. I am writing this review fully expecting a response or rebuttal claiming my review is inaccurate, which is whatever, but if I have successfully convinced one person to not retain this office, then I consider this review successful.

I recently had the privilege of working with Mrs. Cook, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the outstanding legal services they provided. From the very beginning, Mrs. Cook demonstrated a level of dedication, professionalism, and expertise that exceeded my expectations. While I didn't have the most difficult case to dig through, it was a hefty amount of work and drama. I specifically had an incident where there was a limited deadline, we needed to meet because of job related orders, and she went out of the way to make sure that we were able to make it. Mrs. Cook and her paralegal, Amanda, truly care and listen to you and your needs. They go above and beyond to make sure they do what they can to help you. 10/10 recommend her business!!
