Andy Cook Law - San Diego Divorce & Family Law

"Mr. Cook represented me after learning my ex forged my signatures in divorce documents and filed in CA when neither of us lived there so CA had no jurisdiction. It was an open and shut case. I hired a handwriting expert who found that the signature was not mine and Mr. Cook mailed my ex a hearing notice. I was not confident that the address I had for him was current so I asked Mr. Cook to email him as well (he said he would and never did). his communication is terrible and he isn’t organized. Hearing date comes and I’m embarrassed by the way Mr. Cook stammers over his words and poorly articulates hisself. The judge sets a new court date because my ex didn’t appear and she wants proof that he was notified (Mr. Cook insists that he was and says he has proof but a few weeks later tells me that he actually received the letter back in the mail). a week before the new hearing Mr. Cook tells me he is going to mail out the hearing notice, I tell him it should’ve been mailed out there isn’t enough time, he insists it will be delivered next day knowing the address is in Afghanistan... I tell him he needs to email my ex who responded and Mr. Cook had a lengthy (the bill for it was pretty high and I would not have wanted him to even do more than just notify him) conversation with my ex on the phone then proceeded to tell me that my ex doesn’t know we are notifying him late and as long as the judge doesn’t mention it that I will be fine. My ex shows up to the next court date and the matter is settled. The judge ruled in my favor on the forgery but no thanks to Mr. Cook. My ex admitted it was not my signature. The judge did not rule for my ex to have to pay my legal fees. Mr. Cook tried to argue with the judge who shut him down because he didn’t properly file his paperwork so the court couldn’t rule on any other matter. I ended up paying so much for the hand writing expert which the judge requested to be there for the second case but only because my ex didn’t show up... the expert didn’t even have to testify at the second date and all of his fees. DO NOT HIRE HIM!"

"Mr. Cook's high level of knowledge and experience was clear from the start. Mr. Cook was able to quickly analyze all the important matters and was able to timely and competently resolve a challenging case. Maintaining a high level of professionalism, Mr. Cook's focus was always on fairly resolving issues and disputes, never allowing potential emotional pitfalls to wreck the work which had to be done. I highly recommend Andy and his awesome staff at the Law Offices of Andy Cook."

"Mr. Cook is an A+ attorney, as he has represented not only me, but my wife and family as well. Whereas the CA judicial system is highly unpredictable, Mr. Cook helped us navigate these unpredictable waters and fought for us with the tenacity and resourcefullness as we’d hoped for and wanted. His years and experience working in the San Diego courts system are evident as he knows and understands the nuances and personalities of the all judges and guided us in the safest and least risky path he could, affording us the best outcome. His work ethic and staff are truly professional, and we remain thankful to have him on our team! He is also military friendly and understands the demands placed on service members, and works with them. We have no regrets, nothing but praise and satisfaction for several jobs well done, and wouldn’t hesitate to retain him and his team again if need be. Mr. Cook and his team are the best of the best, and we gladly give them our seal of approval and an A+ rating!"

"It is my great pleasure to recommend Mr. Cook to anyone requiring the services of an attorney. Mr. Cook came in to my life during a time of great turmoil. He demonstrated a unique ability to listen and define complex legal issues while providing all the support I could possibly require. His professionalism, sincerity and extraordinary legal knowledge are truly amazing."
