Practice Areas

It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as a respect for right.

Personal Injury

If you suffer a personal injury due to someone else’s negligence, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Our lawyers will provide compassionate guidance while aggressively pursuing compensation on your behalf in the form of medical coverage, pain and suffering damages, and money for lost wages or earning capacity. We may also seek punitive damages against the negligent party to prevent accidents or injuries to others in the future.

Bankruptcy

Would you like a fresh financial start? If you become overwhelmed with debt and are unable to pay your bills, consider filing for bankruptcy to stop your creditors from harassing you. Our attorneys can assist you in filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, giving you the firm footing you need to secure your financial future.

Workers’ Compensation

If you suffer an injury or contract an illness while at work, you may be unable to complete the duties of your job for an extended period of time. Our attorneys can help you obtain workers’ compensation benefits by advising you during the filing process. We will shoulder the load in your case, allowing you to focus on your physical and mental recovery.

Estate Law

Did you know that you have an estate? Everything you own is a part of your estate: your home, your car, your bank accounts, your investments, your personal possessions, and more. To ensure that your estate is transferred according to your wishes after your death, it is important to create a comprehensive and legally enforceable strategy for it through estate planning.

Family Law

Although most people do not marry assuming that their marriage will end, divorces are quite common. Divorces are often complex and emotional, but a lawyer can help you take a step back so you can view your case with a more critical eye. In addition to divorce, our attorneys can assist you with several aspects of family law, including property division, child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal support.

Criminal Law

The criminal justice system can be intimidating, and a conviction could affect your freedom, your family, and your livelihood. Our attorneys handle major and minor crimes, from misdemeanors and DWIs to serious felonies. For legal counsel and guidance through the criminal defense process, consult with our attorneys.

Wrongful Death

Are you dealing with the unexpected loss of a loved one? Such a death can be especially difficult to handle if it was caused by someone else’s negligence. Fortunately, all states recognize the right to file wrongful death lawsuits. These are civil lawsuits that allow certain survivors to pursue compensation from the negligent party who caused their loved one’s death. An experienced lawyer at the Law Offices of Craig L. Cook can talk to you about your loved one’s case and explain the legal rights that you may have.

Medical Malpractice Lawyer

At the Law Offices of Craig L. Cook, your medical malpractice lawyer will explain that doctors, hospitals, and nurses often try to cover up malpractice. When the care that doctors provide falls below the standard of care that is expected of other reasonable doctors in similar cases, the doctors may be held liable for medical malpractice claims. When you hold a doctor accountable for malpractice, you may recover damages to compensate you for your losses. Your claim may also put others on notice about the doctors’ substandard care, which may protect them from medical malpractice.

Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing homes are supposed to be places where disabled or elderly people can go to receive skilled, compassionate care. Unfortunately, some nursing homes have earned bad reputations because of the prevalence of nursing home negligence and abuse. If you suspect that your loved one is being neglected or abused in a nursing home, it is important that you take action quickly. The nursing home negligence lawyers at the Law Offices of Craig L. Cook have a collective legal experience of more than 40 years, and we are passionate about helping our clients keep their loved ones protected and safe. We will work hard to hold the nursing home at fault accountable for the negligence or abuse that has harmed your family member.
