My fiancée and I were buying our first house and we had never been through the process before. Attorney McCook worked with the seller’s broker and attorney to negotiate the purchase and sale agreement. When our lender dragged their feet approving our financing, Attorney McCook negotiated an extension which protected our deposit and kept the deal on track towards the closing.

When the economy went into recession, my business experienced a substantial decrease in cash flow. As a result, I incurred a lot of debt that my wife and I had no hopes of paying off. Attorney McCook advised me on the bankruptcy process, drafted my petition, represented me at the meeting with the U.S. Trustee, and guided my case to completion. I received my discharge from the bankruptcy court and now I have a fresh start.
